Newly developed 2.2-megapixel, 2/3-inch IT-3CCD
Panasonic has developed the 2.2-megapixel, 2/3-inch IT-3CCD that offers high sensitivity with reduced smear.

High-Definition 1080/59.94i or 50i video output
The AK-HC1800 delivers detailed High-Definition 1080/59.94i or 50i images.

A clear and crisp resolution with Panasonic's unique spatial offset technology and signal processing
Employs an advanced single-channel transfer system and spatial-offset processing unique to Panasonic. With an improved modulation depth for the high-bandwidth signal, Panasonic promises an exceptional resolution and reduced moire.

14-bit A/D converter, and the new 38-bit Digital Signal Processor (DSP)
With the newly developed LSI, Panasonic realizes versatile image processing offering high resolution images for a wide range of applications.

Dynamic Range Stretch (DRS) function
The new function, compatible gamma that optimally and in real-time adjusts the gamma correction, clearly reproduces high contrast images curtailing over and under exposure.

12-vector variable matrix masking circuit
With the 12-vector variable matrix masking circuit, the camera will recognize each color individually permitting optimal saturation and hue.

Cine gamma curve
A film-like quality natural gradation expression and a rich color reproduction made possible with a custom gamma curve.

Color correction
Comes equipped with a hue preservation circuit that prevents color loss in brightly lit areas.

Embedded with intelligent automatic adjust functions

Auto tracing white balance function
Automatically adjusts the white balance in even outdoor environments where the color temperature changes every second.

Automatic gain control*
It not only has automatic iris control, but it also comes with a reduced shock, contiguous automatic variable gain control with a range of -6 dB to +72 dB. Moreover, the AGC allows
you to choose between the normal mode, favor movement, favor clarity and user setup mode.

Allowing you to build a flexible system
The light and compact, boxy AK-HC1800 allows you to build a flexible system in combination with a variety of Panasonic's indoor/outdoor pan-tilt systems. Because you can shoot remotely from various angles, it can be used for a multitude of applications such as a weather information camera, presenter link camera, and for sports event relay
