The University of Central Lancashire has created a future-proof UHD-capable studio for improved teaching, using Panasonic Professional Camera Systems. The £550,000 studio upgrade enabled the university to move from SD to UHD with the option of HDR, and a 12G workflow environment to reduce cable requirements, in a six-week project carried out before the new academic year.
The studio refit, completed by systems integrator Altered Images, involved four Panasonic AK-UC4000 system cameras, including the AK-UCU600 Camera Control Unit (CCU), AK-HRP1000 Remote Operation Panel (ROP) and AK-HVF100 LCD colour viewfinder.
Staff and students were impressed with the functionality of the system for teaching.
Benefits include:
The university was also impressed with the great working relationship it quickly established with Panasonic, who provided advice, a demo unit for evaluation and training.
The university looked at options from all of the major camera system manufacturers with three-chip sensor options.
But when we considered them against the single-chip Panasonic AK-UC4000 camera system in our tests, we couldn’t actually see any disadvantages
said Toby Gregory, Media Production Technician at University of Central Lancashire.
“The colour science in the UC4000 camera is great; the dynamic range is wide, and the sensitivity is fantastic. The UC4000 camera is going to give us everything that we’d want to do in a studio environment, and gives us the right platform to teach the next generation of camera operators by working with an industry-standard camera system.”
