Introduction

Request
This unit is shipped with the frame frequency set to 59.94 Hz. Follow the procedure on page 7 to change the frame
frequency to match the region of use.
This unit is a studio handy camera that supports the 1080i format. Combined use with Panasonic's peripheral equipment Camera Control Unit AK-
HCU200/S and Remote Operation Panel AK-HRP200G enables you to build an optical transmission studio camera system with high image quality
capable of uncompressed long-distance transmission at a low cost.
It uses a 2/3-type 2.2-megapixel IT-CCD imaging device in conjunction with a newly-developed 16-bit A/D digital signal processing circuit to achieve
higher sensitivity than conventional cameras. Furthermore, it includes new functions such as CAC (chromatic aberration compensation function to
compensate the chromatic aberration of the magnification of a lens) and scan reverse (a function to compensate the reverse video when using an
anamorphic lens and film lens), in addition to multi-functionality, high quality, and improved stable operability that can be achieved only by digital
processing.
