High Performance UHD Production Camera
KOKUSAI DENKI’s next generation UHD broadcast and live production camera system incorporates three 2/3”, global shutter, 4K-Native CMOS image sensors - enabling pristine capture of 2160p/1080p/1080i/720p video at 59.94/50Hz. The expanded spectral range provided by its new optical prism design and high-performance sensors enables full-range BT.2020 Wide Colour Gamut.
Its UHD TV workflow supports separate controls for Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG), PQ and S-LOG 3 High Dynamic Range (HDR) and standard dynamic range (SDR), maximizing production versatility and efficiency. The Z-HD6500-S1 is ideal for a wide range of applications – from broadcasters archiving their productions, to live production companies striving to offer the utmost quality to their clients, to houses of worship future-proofing their facilities with life-like video.
