8K Camcorder

Outline of product

8K camcorder with integrated camera/recording unit that can capture, record, play back, and line-out 8K 60p images

The 8K recording and recording system, which consists of a camera head (sensor unit), CCUs (Camera Control Unit, signal-processing unit), and a recorder (recording unit), is integrated into one unit to greatly reduce the size.
Grass Valley HQX Codec* also greatly improves the workflow.
It solves the conventional problems of slow, heavy, and enormous time at once, overturn the common sense of 8K video production.
Real-time output during shooting also supports 8K live distribution.
The shoulder-type design improves portability and accommodates a variety of shooting styles.

Features

  • High Resolution 8K
    Equipped super 35mm CMOS image sensor 33 million pixels
  • Real-time recording
    Uses Grass Valley HQX Codec to achieve 8K 60p YCbCr422 10bit real-time recording.

    Supports playback output after recording.
  • High-speed data transfer
    10GbE terminal on the camcorder body or the optional transfer box transfers the recorded material to the editing environment at high speed.
  • Human-friendly mechanism
    Adopted shoulder-type housing design.
    V-mount battery provides one-man operation during shooting.

* Grass Valley HQX Codec
This is an editing codec used by broadcasting stations around the world that realizes high image quality, high-speed processing, and high-generation immunity (minimal video degradation when compressed and stretched repeatedly).It supports 10bit HD/4K/8K and supports frame sizes/rates, field orders, and pixel aspect ratios that are not captured in broadcasting formats, with the flexibility to be utilized in a variety of applications. A detailed description of Grass Valley HQX Codec can be found in the white paper below.
