Sharp Corporation announces the release of the 8C-B60A 8K (60p)
professional camcorder, a world's first, integrating capabilities
for video shooting and recording, playback, and line output. The
8C-B60A was developed with technical cooperation from Astrodesign,
Inc.(4), a company possessing 8K image technologies.
Besides the ability to shoot images in high resolution 8K (60p),
this camcorder is designed to offer ease of use in shooting and
recording and to lessen the burden on the camera operator in the
post-recording editing process. The 8C-B60A's image pickup device
is a large, Super 35-mm-equivalent CMOS image sensor with 33
million pixels. Compression utilizes a coding method(5) that exerts
minimal burden on the CPU, thus enabling efficient 8K (60p)-image
editing and approximately 40 minutes of continuous recording (when
using the bundled 2-TB SSD pack). Because it allows real-time
output of 8K uncompressed images at the same time that recording is
taking place, the 8C-B60A can be used for live transmissions as
well.
With this professional-use camcorder as the entry point to the
creation of 8K images, Sharp is striving to disseminate 8K image
content in its aim of establishing an 8K ecosystem at the earliest
possible date.
The 8C-B60A 8K professional camcorder will be on display at the
Sharp booth at the International Broadcast Equipment Exhibition
2017 (Inter BEE 2017) at the Makuhari Messe in Mihama, Chiba, Japan
from November 15 to 17, 2017.
Major Features
1. World's first camcorder integrating capabilities for video
shooting and recording, playback, and line output for 8K (60p).
2. Compatible with 8K (60p) shooting thanks to a large, Super
35-mm-equivalent CMOS image sensor with 33 million pixels.
3. Realizes 4:2:2 sampling(6) and 10-bit recording of 8K (60p)
images. A compression method that exerts low burden on the CPU
makes editing more efficient and allows approximately 40 minutes of
continuous recording (when using 2TB SSD pack).
4. Real-time output of uncompressed 8K (60P) images can be
performed simultaneously with recording (equipped with quad-link
12G-SDI output terminal), making possible live 8K transmissions and
replay output after recording.
5. Built-in SSD back slot for recording media. Realizes one-person
operation at 8K shooting with V-mount battery drive.
(1) As of July 2017. (based on Sharp survey)
(2) Displays 60 frames per second (progressive).
(3) The 8C-B60A requires a commercially available lens, viewfinder,
microphone, etc.
(4) Business fields: Design, manufacture, and sale of video and
still image peripherals and software, HDTV studio peripherals,
digital-broadcast-related peripherals, and display measuring
instruments; sale of modules and systems related to communication,
control, and measurement.
(5) Grass Valley HQX Codec
(6) One of the standardized methods for sampling digital video
signals.
