Rebuilt Codec & Cam Control 2.0
New Codec EngineA totally rebuilt codec engine brings even lower latency to the P400 and P4K and computationally higher picture quality. Better pictures, less bandwidth, faster.
Tighter Cam Control IntegrationCam Control 2.0 has been updated to include all the features found in the OSD of P400 and P4K so you can now remotely shade the cameras from the beautiful Cam Control interface.
Full NDI® Camera
Full NDI, No CompromisesIn the world of NDI® there are two flavours, NDI® and NDI|HX. NDI® is a variable bit rate, I-Frame codec that is reaches around 140Mbits at 1080p60 and is visually lossless. NDI|HX is a compressed, long-GOP, H.264 variant that reaches around 12Mbits at 1080p60. P4K is a Full NDI® camera.
Sony Exmor R Sensor & Carl Zeiss Lens
Size Does MatterThe best images come from the best sensors and the P4K is built exclusively around the best sensor in its category. The massive 1” Sony Exmor R CMOS backlit sensor delivers truly stunning pictures in all shoot modes and frame rates whether in HD or 4K.
Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T lensThe glass you use is super important in creating stunning pictures and P4K uses only the best. With precision optics and a T coating lens that reduces Ghost and Flare caused by reflections on the surface of the lens.
