Panasonic AK-UBX100 4K/HDR Multi-Purpose Box Camera

Information

Compact Powerhouse for Multi-Purpose 4K Production

The AK-UBX100 is Panasonic’s new 4K multi-purpose camera, designed for today’s fast-moving production environments. The camera combines a lightweight box-style design with professional-grade imaging performance, advanced connectivity, and seamless interoperability with Panasonic’s broadcast ecosystem.

Built on the same 2/3-type bayonet lens mount sensor and processing platform as the UCX100 studio camera, the UBX100 ensures consistent operation, color matching, and smooth integration with devices such as the AW-UE160 PTZ. Its compact 1.9kg body makes it ideal for robotic mounting and flexible lens setups, while offering the precision and performance professionals demand.

Key Benefits

• Compact 1.9kg design for robotic mounting and multi-purpose setups.
• Seamless operation with Panasonic UCX100 and UE160 devices 
• Support for SMPTE ST 2110, NDI® High Bandwidth, NDI® HX2, and SRT, plus dual 12G-SDI and SFP+/28 ports.
• Auto-focus functionality

Core Highlights

Seamless Multi-Camera Integration

The UBX100 is designed to work hand-in-hand with Panasonic’s UCX100 studio camera and UE160 PTZ systems. Unified menu structures and compatibility with common remote operation panels (ROPs) ensure a smooth operator experience across multi-camera setups. This consistency reduces training time, speeds up deployment, and ensures colour and performance alignment across your workflow.

Compact, Lightweight Design

Weighing just 1.9kg, the UBX100’s box-style form factor makes it an ideal choice for robotic mounts, flexible lens applications, or installations where space and weight are critical. Despite its small footprint, it delivers uncompromising 4K image performance, making it a versatile solution for both broadcast and live production environments.

Advanced Connectivity

The UBX100 supports a wide range of IP protocols including SMPTE ST 2110, NDI® High Bandwidth, NDI® HX2, and SRT, enabling seamless integration into hybrid and fully IP-based workflows. Dual 12G-SDI and SFP+/28 ports provide robust wired connectivity, ensuring stability for high-bandwidth video transmission in demanding production environments.

Superior Image Quality

Equipped with an optional HD optical low-pass filter, the UBX100 reduces moiré and delivers sharper images in visually complex scenes. Automatic correction for F-drop and peripheral light falloff ensures uniform brightness and exposure across the frame. Remote back focus adjustment further streamlines setup, enabling precise fine-tuning from a distance without manual intervention.

Future-Ready Auto-Focus

The UBX100 has an auto-focus functionality, bringing greater speed, flexibility, and accuracy to productions. This firmware update will extend Panasonic’s industry-first auto-focus innovation, already debuting on the UCX100, to the UBX100 platform—empowering operators to capture consistently sharp, high-quality images in dynamic shooting conditions.

Built for the Future of Production

With its combination of compact design, advanced connectivity, consistent image quality, and future-proof autofocus, the UBX100 offers a versatile, high-performance solution for broadcasters, live event producers, and content creators. Together with the UCX100, it forms a powerful ecosystem that helps teams reduce setup time, minimize manual adjustments, and focus more on creative storytelling.
