NEW YORK — Kokusai Denki Electric America will unveil a new 4K camera at the NAB New York show, which opens Wednesday, adding a third 4K model to its product line. Now available, the Z-HD6500-S1 UHD/HD production system includes a camera that borrows design elements from the Z-HD6500 multi-format HD camera — reinvented as a full-featured native 4K camera.
It includes the same 2/3-inch UHD-native sensors as Kokusai Denki’s high-end SK-UHD7000. Its RGB 3-chip technology, with 8.3 million effective pixels per sensor.
The Z-HD6500-S1 incorporates native 4K global shutter technology to eliminate artifacts such as banding and flickering, optimizing performance within broadcast studios utilizing LED lighting and displays. High sensitivity and a strong signal-to-noise ratio strengthen reliability, ensuring high-quality video capture in low-light conditions as well as ultra-quiet images. The feature set also includes a ¼ ND filter for shallow depth shooting, and a low-pass filter to reduce visual patterns or optical illusions known as Moire effects.
“We have proudly achieved a new benchmark in price-to-performance ratio with the Z-HD6500-S1, which opens doors for content producers who have largely been priced out of the 4K production market,” said Sean Moran, COO of Kokusai Denki Electric America Inc. “We have engineered a 4K acquisition system that establishes a professional quality native 4K studio and sports camera with a global shutter and features typically found on more expensive cameras. The result is a solution that is high on the value chain for a large cross-section of the broadcast and production community.”
