High image quality, easy operation and outstanding reliability from a new generation HD multi-format camera
The AK-HC3500 is the zenith of advanced camera design. In addition to a unique 2/3-inch IT-3CCD and spatial offset processing technologies, it offers a newly-developed 14-bit A/D converter and 38-bit Digital Signal Processing LSI for exceptional image quality. To satisfy the demands of shooting in the field, it also features an ergonomic design for easier, more comfortable use. Add to this outstanding performance, and you have the ideal studio and field multi-format camera for the high definition era.
Switchable output HD/SD formats
The AK-HC3500's multi-format capability makes it perfect for demanding broadcasts and program production at home and abroad. Using the optional down converter board also enables HD to SD signal (480i/576i) conversion.

Panasonic's unique high sensitivity, low smear 2/3-inch 2.2-megapixel IT-3CCD
Panasonic CCD sensor technology and the improved on-chip lens performance offers a high sensitivity of F10 (1080/59.94i) /F11 (1080/50i) at 2 000 lx, a low smear level and an excellent signal to noise ratio of 60 dB.
Panasonic's single-channel transfer system and spatial-offset processing technologies improve signal modulation depth and reduce moire.

Blue channel sensitivity has been improved approximately 3 dB to achieve a better response ratio. Even deep-blue colors can be
CCD/prism assemblyreproduced with vivid chrominance and significantly reduced noise.
