Details
The Panasonic AU-EVA1 Compact 5.7K Super 35mm Cinema Camera houses a high-resolution 5.7K image sensor capable of rendering smooth 4K images inside a compact body. The Panasonic EVA1 Cinema camera is a flexible camera system ready for documentary, cinema, and live event production.
Note:. Free Firmware 3.0 Upgrade which greatly improves the camera’s capabilities. Updates include 4K60p 10-bit capture, hardwired remote control via USB-Ethernet adapters, and the addition of a user button function for quick switching of shooting modes and frame rates. Download here
The Panasonic AU-EVA1EN8 Compact and lightweight camera iis tailor-made for handheld shooting, but also well suited for documentaries, advertisements, and music videos. The compact size and new 5.7K sensor mean that the EVA1 fills that gap for a variety of filmmaking applications.The EVA1 contains a newly designed 5.7K Super 35mm-sized (24.60mm x 12.97mm) sensor for capturing true cinematic images. By starting at a higher native resolution, the 5.7K sensor yields a higher resolving image when down sampled to 4K, UHD, 2K, and even 720p. With an active resolution of 5720 x 3016,the EVA1 delivers more than 17.25 million photosites, nearly double the 8.8 million for 4K DCI (4096 x 2160). By starting at ahigher native resolution, the 5.7K sensor yields a higher resolving image when down-sampled to 4K, UHD, 2K, or even 720p. Additionally, the increased colour information results in a finer, more accurate finished image. Dynamic range measures the luminance range that a digital camera can capture. The EVA1 delivers 14 stops of Dynamic Range, enabling fine gradation in exposure from bright to dark image areas.
Broadcast Brains Interview with Rob Myers National Sales Manager of Panasonic - Professional & Broadcast Products - SMPTE2017
The 5.7K sensor is used to super-sample internal recordings, resulting in higher resolving images with less noise and artifacting when compared to non-super-sampled recordings. Panasonic's acclaimed Dual Native ISO technology is also incorporated into this sensor. Dual Native ISO uses alternative circuitry within the sensor, rather than adding gain or shifting the gamma of the original signal output, to increase sensitivity while maintaining a high signal-to-noise ratio. An EF lens mount at the front of the body supports a wide-range of interchangeable lenses from popular manufacturers. Directly behind the mount is an electronically controlled ND filter wheel offering, 2, 4, and 6 stops of filtration for cutting down on excess light, letting you set your lens's aperture to fit the desired aesthetic of your production. For further flexibility, the IR-cut filter is defeatable for shooting in extreme low-light situations or for creative color effects.
5.7K Sensor
Panasonic's 5.7K sensor is at the heart of this camera. Its high resolution allows for oversampled 4K footage, resulting in sharp images with reduced aliasing and increased color fidelity over native 4K Bayer-pattern sensors. Video is recorded on widely available SD cards, providing high-quality recording on accessible, industry-standard media.
Dual Native ISO
Utilizing a process that allows the sensor to be read in a fundamentally different way, Dual Native ISO extracts more information from the sensor without affecting the image in the same way as increasing the gain or shifting the gamma. This results in the EVA1 being a camera that can switch from a standard sensitivity to a high sensitivity with minimal, if any, impact by way of image artifacting.
V-Log and V-Gamut Capture
Combining Panasonic-developed V-Log and V-Gamut, the EVA1 can capture a wide exposure latitude and represent a wide color palette. V-Log has exposure curve characteristics that are somewhat reminiscent of negative film while V-Gamut delivers a color space even larger than film. Having both of these tools enables the EVA1 to be used in production workflows for both HDR and SDR production.
