KOKUSAI DENKI’s next generation UHD broadcast and live production camera system incorporates three 2/3”, global shutter, 4K-Native CMOS image sensors - enabling pristine capture of 2160p/1080p/1080i/720p video at 59.94/50Hz. The expanded spectral range provided by its new optical prism design and high-performance sensors enables full-range BT.2020 Wide Colour Gamut.
Its UHD TV 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-S1 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 Z-HD6500-S1 connects to its CCU, the CU-HD650-S1, via SMPTE 311M hybrid fiber optic cable over distances of up to 2,000 metres connects, providing transmission of full-bandwidth, uncompressed, native 4K video. With its Integrated HD down-conversion it also provides 1080p, 1080i, or 720p HD output for flexible, multi-format production capability. Embedded audio is available on all SDI outputs and as listen-channels on the intercom. An ethernet data trunk interface supports control of TCP/IP-capable devices. The CU-HD650-S1 has 12G/6G-SDI outputs for 4K(3840x2160) video and selectable 3G/HD/SD-SDI outputs for down-converted HD/SD video. External 3G/HD/SD-SDI return video can be displayed on the camera viewfinder through a built-in cross-converter and frame-synchroniser. The CCU has independent 4K and HD processors enabling it to output HDR and SDR simultaneously and provide independent control of detail enhancement for the down-converted HD output.

Control Panels

The high-performance touchscreen Remote Control Unit RU-1500JY-R1/-S3/S11 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 camera series. The RU-1500JY-S3&S11 has at on the top panel are lit by back light. Operators can see signs 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/S11 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/-S3/S11). 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
*Lens & Camera should support

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:
