Panasonic And Creative Technology Deliver SMPTE ST 2110-Based 4K Streaming For Live Events

Panasonic’s ST 2110-compatible UC4000 sets the standard for 4K/HD HDR studio cameras in sports broadcasting, studio production, and live events. It can be operated in both 4K and HD/HDR outputs and offers the high video quality that is only possible with a larger sensor, with a 4.4K sensor, alongside features such as BT.2020 and up to 4x output high-speed HD shooting^[1]. Creative Technology is also the first UK-based AV integrator to purchase Panasonic’s AK-PLV100GSJ 4K PL-mount studio camera, with three cameras selected.

To facilitate the transmission of 4K images over IP-based networks, Creative Technology will use Panasonic’s new UCU710 CCU. The UCU710 supports the ST 2110 transmission standard, and streamlines the connection to the UC4000 studio camera, making it ideal for multicamera productions.

When connected, Panasonic’s UC4000 studio camera is capable of 4K and HDR image production and uncompressed long-distance transmission of 4K images, offering the required flexibility for live events. The UCU710 also offers flexible IP migration of existing operation systems, seamless migration from conventional CCU-based baseband systems, and a 3.5” LCD touch panel for easy operation.
