France Télévisions will install Panasonic UHD cameras in a two-year upgrade of its digital studios and OB Vans throughout France, taking delivery of more than 100 Panasonic AK-UC3000 studio cameras. Panasonic was chosen following a competitive tender which included extensive trials of UHD studio cameras.
Panasonic’s flagship Ultra HD professional camera, the AK-UC3000.
The framework also includes pricing for the following Panasonic studio system products — the Ultra HD, multi-purpose AK-UB300 box camera, the AK-UCU500 and AK-UCU600 Camera Control Units, the AK-HRP1000 Remote Operation Panel, the AK-HVF100 colour viewfinder and AK-HBU500 camera build-up unit.
It’s anticipated that the cameras system will see use within large events and sports, which are increasingly being shot in UHD and HDR. Up to 16 cameras can be connected simultaneously to a single OB van, including the flagship UHD studio camera, the UC3000. The first deliveries are expected within the next two months.
