JVC KY-F75UThe Panasonic 3CCD remote head camera with high definition up to 1080p Full HD.

The updated GP-US932A micro camera now provides true 1080p Full HD quality. This camera provides a range of new functions and improved characteristics.

  • High Definition in 1080p
  • Multi Format
  • Multi Outputs (Analogue and Digital)
  • Brilliant Colour Reproduction
  • More Functions: Mirror, Rotate, Still & ZOOM
  • Available as OEM components

Main Features

HD quality in micro format for long distance
Now with dimensions of just 37 x 47 x 54 mm, the separate camera head of the new GP-US932A is 6 mm shorter and makes mechanical system integration much easier. The video signal is digitized in the camera head with resolution of 3 x 14 bits. The entire digital processing chain provides true, almost loss-free colour reproduction. Panasonic's new model supports 4 different optional cable lengths: 4, 6, 10 and even 20m cables allow the camera head to be moved even long distances away 'loss-free', which therefore considerably increases the number of potential applications for the equipment.

Many different formats – HD/SD / digital/analogue simultaneously
In order to provide the best possible connection to HD monitors, the Panasonic camera system now has a digital HD-SDI and HDMI interface in one CCU model. The HDMI output now provides different formats up to full HD with 1080p. As well as the camera variant with HD-SDI and HDMI, a budget version that only has an HDMI output is also available. Both versions are compatible with the HDTV formats 720p, 1080i and 1080p. If necessary, the camera can be switched between the supported HD format or the conventional 576i and 576p SD formats even during operation. Additional analogue FBAS and S-Video outputs are also available that simultaneously output an image in SD resolution.

Outstanding performance
Thanks to further improvements to the sensors, even smallest details can be carefully examined. We have succeeded in increasing the light sensitivity by another 6dB or so. Even dark details are now perceptible. The pixel-based dynamic range increase enhances the simultaneous display of light and dark objects.

Additional functionality
The new GP-US932A HD camera system now has a new image rotation and mirroring option. This can be activated and deactivated during operation, and extends the range of applications even further. 3 pre-sets for different colour temperatures are now available for the white balance values. The switch from artificial light to natural lighting can now take place without having to perform white balancing again. Of course, the functionality of the preceding model is still available: Freeze picture, 2.5x zoom, 12-axis colour matrix, and frequency-depending detail enhancement.

HD technology available as OEM components
Panasonic also offers the HD microcamera system as OEM components. The camera head, the CCU control board and the signal cables are available in different lengths. The OEM version of the digital camera head is now much smaller that its predecessor and the power consumption has been reduced to 2.5W.
