injury from tip-over.
13) Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or
when unused for long periods of time.
9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two
blades with one wider than the other. A grounding-
type plug has two blades and a third grounding
prong. The wide blade or the third prong are
provided for your safety. If the provided plug does
not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet.
14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Servicing is required when the apparatus has
been damaged in any way, such as power-supply
cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or
objects have fallen into the apparatus, the

Overview
This new-generation HD camera is designed to support the 720P or 1080I format.
The 720P or 1080I video format can be selected using the menu settings. This model uses newly developed 2/3 CCDs with a
million pixels [1280 (H) 720 (V)]. By taking a fresh approach to the on-chip lens, CCD structure and processes, these new
CCDs embody dramatically improved sensitivity, smear and dynamic range specifications compared with conventional CCDs,
and they achieve a high performance which is on a par with that of SD. Furthermore, the moire in the band has been slashed by
offsetting the pixels by combining Panasonic’s unique horizontal line readout CCDs with high-accuracy signal processing.
The newly developed digital signal processing LSI which supports 12-bit A/D conversion and which is provided in the camera
head processes the gamma, knee, detail, matrix and other process signals and uses a new system for CCD defect correction
to achieve improved operability with a greater number of functions, high quality and high stability which only digital systems can
deliver. The 12-bit A/D converter yields a stable wide dynamic circuit with a high signal-to-noise ratio from the dark areas to the
highlights.
A newly developed casing is used to house the multi-format camera head to achieve a compact size and light weight. The
amount of heat generated has been significantly reduced by designing the new circuitry to consume less power and by adopting
an efficient heat dissipation design for the new casing.
SD signals (D1, VBS) can be output and RET images and PROMPT signals can be input by connecting the multi-format camera
to the CCU (AK-HCU931P, optional accessory).
In terms of controlling the camera’s functions, the ROP (AK-HRP931P) or MSU (AK-MSU930P), also available as an optional
accessory, can be connected to the CCU to control such analog functions as the camera head’s pedestal and iris and to control
such switches as the gain and output selector switches.
Features
720P and 1080I video formats supported
Fuller complement of control circuits and auto setup
(ASU) function
Either the 720P or 1080I video format can be selected
using the menu settings.
The camera can be connected to existing peripheral
devices no matter which video format is selected.
The self-diagnosis functions have been enhanced, and it
has now become possible to select the ASU function by
combining the external shooting chart and internal test
signals as well as the normal, simplified or other mode.
Newly developed 720P, 2/3 million-pixel CCDs
incorporated
Peripheral components
This achieves a high sensitivity that surpasses the
standard sensitivity of F10 and is on a par with SD.
Smear has been cut to 130 dB and the number of
white marks has been drastically reduced by process
improvements.
Ease of operation can be further improved by configuring
a system where the multi-format camera is used in
combination with the remote operation panel (ROP) and
master setup unit (MSU).
Using the ROP matrix, for instance, ROP assignment is
enabled without connector patch switching.
H-CCD drive is accomplished at a frequency of 74 MHz to
attain a high response and high resolution.
Data trunk function
Digital signal processing LSI with high picture quality
featured in the camera unit
Two RS-422 circuits are provided as a standard feature.
They obviate the need for the cables used with virtual
control, pan/tilt head and lens control, etc.
After the process circuits, the signals undergo 12-bit,
74 MHz high-picture-quality digital processing, yielding a
high reliability, more functions and enhanced operating
ease as a result.
D/C output of camera supported (optional function)
The VF output or camera output can be selected as the
D/C output.
Multi-functional enhancer
The VF images can be monitored on the NTSC LCD
In addition to the many functions such as chroma DTL,
skin DTL and dynamic DTL, there is a choice of 8 boost
frequencies. (For both HD and SD)
monitor.
VF signals output in 1080I format
Regardless of whether 720P or 1080I is selected as the
format, the VF signals are output in the 1080I format so
there is no need to provide two viewfinders.
Designed to achieve low noise levels of below NC15
The fan mode can be switched to suit the application at
hand, and measures to reduce the power requirements
and improve the heat dissipation were adopted in the final
design.

An example of the standard system consisting of the multi-format camera (AK-HC931BP) and peripheral components is
described below and shown on the following page. The MSU (AK-MSU930P) is not required unless a multiple number of
cameras are to be controlled.
The basic system configuration includes the lens, multi-format camera, 2 viewfinder, camera control unit (CCU) and remote
operation panel (ROP).

(optional accessory), and enables the camera, CCU and
lens to be operated by remote control.
3 Master setup unit (MSU: AK-MSU930P)
When a multiple number of cameras and CCUs are
used, the MSU can operate up to 15 units either
separately or simultaneously by remote control. It can be
operated together with the ROP.

This is the viewfinder for the multi-format camera.
5 Build-up unit (AK-HBU931P)
This is an adapter used to mount a larger lens (optional
accessory) on the multi-format camera. Thereby, it
affords the same level of operability as that provided by a
larger camera.
6 LCD viewfinder (LCD VF: AK-HVF931P)
This is the LCD viewfinder for the multi-format camera. It
can be used at the same time as the 2 viewfinder. It can
still be operated when the system is built up.
