The AK-UCU600PS Camera Control Unit provides high-quality, low-latency control and uncompressed video transmission for rented 4K/HD camera systems. It supports long-distance optical fiber links, flexible power arrangements, and modern HDR and IP workflows commonly required on location or in studio environments.

Key Features

• Dual UHD 12G-SDI system, with support for 3G-SDI quad link and two-sample interleave for flexible 4K/HD routing.
• Optical fiber transmission of uncompressed video between camera and CCU, allowing approx. 2,000 m when power is supplied from the CCU, or up to 10,000 m using a local camera power supply and single-mode fiber.
• TICO over SDI support, enabling 4K signals to be carried over conventional 3G-SDI cabling when required.
• Simultaneous HDR/SDR output, and simultaneous HDR BT.2020/B.709 output, facilitating mixed HDR and SDR monitoring or downstream workflows.
• IP streaming and remote control, with 100Base-T support and both a dedicated serial line and IP connection for Remote Operation Panels.

Use Cases

• Location shoots requiring long-distance camera placement with central CCU control and monitoring.
• Live events or OB trucks needing uncompressed 4K/HD feeds with HDR and legacy 3G-SDI compatibility.
• Installations where mixed HDR and SDR outputs or IP-based streaming and remote operation are needed.

Included with your rental

• AK-UCU600PS Camera Control Unit (CCU).
• Support for connection to Panasonic AK-HRP1000GJ/1005GJ Remote Operation Panels; panels and cabling can be rented separately on request.
• Documentation and standard configuration for SDI, fiber, and IP connectivity. Power and specific fiber or SDI cabling are available as add-ons depending on distance and setup.
