Panasonic AK-HC1500 Switchable HD camera.

Panasonic introduced industry’s first compact, 1080i/720 switchable HD camera, the AK-HC1500.
Compatible with all HD standards, the multi-format camera is ideally suited for assignments ranging from studio use and weather forecasting to live sports and videoconferencing, from true 24p film-like image capture to scientific image analysis and studio animation applications.
The AK-HC1500 is the first camera to feature a variable frame rate functionality and cine gamma curve, features that have distinguished the company’s popular VariCam HD Cinema Camcorder. This variable frame rate feature is key to many special effects and sports-related applications.
The HD production quality, high-performance AK-HC1500 incorporates proprietary Panasonic innovations, including a new IT-CCD, 14-bit A/D converter and digital signal processor to deliver crisp, sharp high definition images from dark to bright areas. The 1-megapixel, 2/3-inch 3-CCDs produce outstanding broadcast-quality color accuracy, with improved on-chip lenses to achieve a standard sensitivity of F10.0 at 2000 lux and a smear level of less than -130 dB. The AK-HC1500 uses CCD accumulation and horizontal/vertical addition to create a gain increase of up to +68 dB
The AK-HC1500 offers both 1080 (60i/59.94i, 50i, 30p, 26p/24p) and 720 (60p, 59.94p/50p) high definition output. The camera boasts a wide range of variable frame rates (4-fps to 60-fps in single-frame increments) for “overcranked” and “undercranked” off-speed in-camera effects, and its CineGamma curve reproduces images that closely match the latitude of film stocks.
