Cinematic Video with Shallow Depth of Field

The AK-PLV100GSJ comes with a 5.7K Super 35mm sensor and PL mount to produce cinematic video with bokeh effects. Combining the visual beauty of a cinema camera with the operability of a studio camera, the AK-PLV100GSJ achieves live video for events and sports with rich visual expression that grabs viewers attention.

Dual Native ISO for high sensitivity and low noise¹
Simultaneous HLG/ITU-R BT.2020 (4K mode) and SDR/ITU-R BT.709 (HD mode)
V-LOG output for wide dynamic range and rich color gamut¹

Simple Operation without CCU

Normally, live production with a cinema camera requires the use of many external devices, but with the AK-PLV100GSJ, only the camera is needed to build a system. The AK-PLV100GSJ outputs SMPTE ST2110 video directly from its camera head and merely requires an optical-fiber connection for return input, intercom input/output, PTP synchronization, trunk out, and tally input.

Input/output method for camera head alone

HD mode: Uncompressed SMPTE ST2110 input/output standard¹
4K mode: SMPTE ST2110 output with JPEG-XS compression standard¹
12G-SDI output standard
