The following ND/CC motor driven double optical filters are available 
for shooting in any lighting conditions.

Optical ND/CC double filters are available

CC filters    3 200 K, 4 300 K, 6 300 K, Cross, Diffusion

ND filters    Cap, 100 %, 25 %, 6.3 %, 1.6 %

The AK-HC931B needs no external frame synchronizer to provide 
RET video signals from an asynchronous source as in operating 
with outside broadcast trucks.

Frame synchronized RET signal processing

• The camera operational status can be stored on a SD memory card. It can 

be quickly set up from data stored on the SD memory card at any time.

• Checking of camera cable connections and recognition of the camera 

at the CCU can be automatically executed. In addition, trouble 
shooting of camera system can be performed by outputting a test 
signal.

• 3 User Reference files can be stored and referenced for auto set-up.
• Up to 8 scene files can be recalled without overwriting current camera data.
• Easy return to factory setup
• Back up scene files can be stored on an SD memory card.

SD memory card storage/self-diagnosis functions 
Improve operability and serviceability

Whether operating with HD or SD outputs from the camera control 
unit, a standard definition (480/60i) monitoring output is available 
from the camera head. Thus you can use a SD monitor for some 
usage such as crane operation.

SD output is available at the camera head

Two RS-422 control interfaces are featured as standard on the camera 
control unit. No additional data cables are required when using a virtual 
studio system or a remote controlled integration system because all 
relevant data are transmitted via fiber optical camera cables.

RS-422 data trunk lines simplify cable installation

The AK-HC931B is equipped with leading HD camera technologies 
exclusive to Panasonic. Panasonic's HD cameras offer high image quality 
and versatile functions to meet the demands 
of HD video production worldwide.

High definition CCD provides exceptional image 
quality, sensitivity and minimum smear

Panasonic's latest generation CCD technology features on-chip 
micro-lenses and improved CCD structure to achieve an astonishing 
standard sensitivity exceeding F10 at 2000 lx, with an image smear 
specification of less than -130 dB.

Low-power consumption and light-weight camera 
head for comfortable operation

• Power consumption of camera head is approximately 33 W (external 

DC powered with optical transmission on). Heat developed in the 
head is vented by a direct heat-dissipation cooling system. The 
camera head has a silent operation construction so that the fan 
does not operate during normal operating conditions.

• A camera head without viewfinder weighs approximately 4.85 kg 

(10.7 lbs), which is significantly lighter than conventional models. 
The stable, low profile, low center of gravity design provides a well-
balanced and steady shooting platform.

Panasonic's newly developed advanced Digital Signal Processor provides 
outstanding image quality and functions.

• Enhanced DTL (Detail) signal processing in horizontal, vertical and 

diagonal directions, both in dark and brightly lit areas of the image 
ensure high picture quality with minimal noise.

• The 12-vector variable matrix masking circuit allows precise and 

independent hue and saturation adjustment of individual colors.
