KOKUSAI DENKI’s next generation 1080p HD broadcast and live production camera system incorporates three 2/3”, global shutter CMOS image sensors. Native 4K sensors enables pristine capture of 1080p/1080i/720p at 59.94/50Hz video. Expanded spectral range with a new prism design and high-performance sensors enables full-range BT.2020 Wide Color Gamut.
HDTV workflow supports separate controls for Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) . PQ and S-LOG 3 High Dynamic Range (HDR) and standard dynamic range (SDR), maximizing production versatility and efficiency. The Z-HD6500 is ideal for a wide range of applications – from broadcasters archiving their productions, to live production companies striving to offer the utmost quality to their clients, to houses of worship future-proofing their facilities with life-like video.

Camera Control Units


The CU-HD6500 CCU connects via full-bandwidth, uncompressed, native 2K signals via SMPTE 311M hybrid fiber optic cable over distances up to 2.000 meters. 12G-SDI, single-link connectivity also provides 2K output directly from the camera head. Integrated HD down-conversion offers 1080p, 1080i, or 720p output for multi-format productions. Embedded audio is available on all SDI outputs and as listen-channels on the intercom. A trunk data interface supports video transport and control of TCP/IP-capable devices. The new camera also retains compatibility with existing KOKUSAI DENKI control panels and third-party control systems.
Control Panels

The high-performance touchscreen Remote Control Unit RU-1500JY-R1/-S3 is connected to the Camera Control Unit (CCU) for remote operation of the camera or directly to the SK-HD camera series or Z-HD and DK camera series. The RU-1500JY-S3 has buttons lit by back light to help operators to see labels on the panel in the dark operation room.
All key Camera Control functions, such as the one touch color temperature function, makes the RU-1500JY-R1/-S3 ideal not only for professional TV studios but also for OB van use. Lens iris control, pedestal control and preview switch are assembled with an axis joystick control knob (RU-1500JY-R1/S3). The camera can be easily adjusted using the 3.5 inch LCD touchscreen panel and rotary encoders. Custom switches further support the professional user in designing a personal workflow.
Main control items are:
Camera power on/off, auto setup execution, save data file (scene file 0 to 8), manual adjustment using the rotary encoder and knobs, various on/off controls, PIX & WF video output select.
Network Control: RJ-45 TCP/IP

High-performance touchscreen Slim Size Remote Control Unit.
Main Features
Slim chassis: Despite featuring a 3.5-inch LCD display, the unit has a slim profile, allowing up to five units to be mounted in a 19-inch rack. This enables efficient operation not only in studios but also in confined spaces such as broadcast trucks.
LCD display with touch panel: Intuitive operation is achieved via touch controls and four rotary encoders. Checking the unit’s status is also straightforward via the status menu
Operability: Frequently used functions are positioned on the panel, enabling quick and reliable operation. The function labels on the control buttons and various controls are backlit, ensuring high visibility even in low-light conditions. To prevent accidental operation, guards are fitted around key control buttons, and a button is provided to disable panel operation.
Joystick: A large, highly responsive joystick is used for lens iris adjustment, master black adjustment and preview operation.
Auto Setup: The camera’s auto setup function can be executed via a button on the panel.
Scene Files: Pre-configured settings can be saved as up to nine scene files. Saved scenes can be recalled at the touch of a button via the scene file button on the panel.
USB interface: Adjustment data can be saved to and retrieved from a USB memory stick.
Cable Connection: Connections to the camera or CCU can be made using either a dedicated cable or a LAN cable. Both options allow connection via a single cable.
PoE Support: The unit supports PoE (Power over Ethernet). If the power source supports PoE, power can be supplied via the LAN cable.

RU-1000: Small form-factor, basic remote control panel.
The RU-1000VR is a compact remote operation panel designed for easy operation of standard camera functions. Iris and master black adjustments employ "VR-type" rotary knob controls and commonly used controls and functions are directly and instantaneously accessible to the video control engineer.

The SU-1000 Setup Control Unit is used for the adjustment of camera parameters in a multi-camera production environment.Utilizing a new wide touch screen LCD panel that expands control functions.
It is connected directly to each CCU in parallel fashion via serial data cable, 12 cameras can be directly controlled from the SU-1000. Serial Camera control can be extended from 12 cameras up to 48 cameras(option).
RJ45 Network control up to 128 camera with a distance of up to 100 meters (with repeater this can be extended).
The compact and lightweight SU-1000 features Color LCD indicators in the display section to easily identify and access the provided control parameters. The unit is sufficiently small and lightweight enough to be used in space deprived locations such as encountered on a broadcast OB Van.
The SU-1000 has these primary functions:
