Product Overview
The AA-4814-B is a specialized 8K camcorder, expertly customized by Astrodesign from the original Sharp 8C-B60A 8K camcorder. This model retains the fundamental capabilities of shooting, recording, playing, and outputting 8K 60p video while incorporating significant enhancements to usability and addressing the practical requirements of professional video production environments.
Key Features
- Enhanced Image Quality: Integrated hardware and software improvements deliver superior high-definition image capture, ensuring exceptional visual fidelity.
- Optimized User Interface: Redesigned side and front panels with relocated controls provide an improved user experience. The button layout is now more intuitive and familiar to users accustomed to traditional video cameras, significantly enhancing operational ease.
- Efficient 8K Workflow Integration: Added compression ratio settings for video recording streamline 8K video production workflows. By substantially reducing the load on media transfer and editing systems, the AA-4814-B accelerates the entire 8K video production process.
Camcorder Applications
Live Broadcasting
HQX Workflow for Video Production
Leveraging Astra transfer software, captured footage is efficiently transferred from the SSD pack to a Tamazone Workstation. 8K video files are encoded using the Grass Valley HQX Codec in AVI format, ensuring high-quality preservation.
Note: Transferring to the Tamazone Workstation SSD is achieved in approximately half the recording time. For remote locations, material transfer can also be performed using a laptop.
