Panasonic LUMIX BGH1 Box-Style Cinema Camera Micro Four Thirds

The BGH1 from Panasonic is a new generation Box-style Cinema Live Camera, which supports unlimited Cinema 4K/ and 4K UHD 60p/50p in addition to 4K 10-bit recording, Dual Native ISO, and 13 stops of dynamic range with V-Log L. Compact and easy to deploy, this flexible camera can be mounted on drones and in crash-boxes and scales seamlessly for multi-camera work thanks to PoE+, SDI/HDMI simultaneous output, and Genlock IN and Timecode IN/OUT.

Netflix Approved

The BGH1 from Panasonic is also the first box cinema camera to be approved for Netflix original programming, and it can be combined with other approved cameras from Panasonic or third party brands.

10.2 Megapixel Live MOS Sensor with Dual Native ISO

Based on the Micro Four Thirds system standard and featuring a 10.2-megapixel Live MOS sensor, LUMIX BGH1 delivers professional-level image quality. The sensor features Dual Native ISO technology developed for Panasonic VariCam professional cinema-cameras and leverages a dual-base ISO setting that reduces noise while maximising image quality from low to high sensitivity. The sensor partners with Venus Engine to deliver a maximum ISO 51,200/Extended ISO 204,800 for minimal noise at high sensitivity and more beautiful reproduction of dark areas in the frame. A low-pass filter effectively suppresses moire. BGH1 meets demand for professional-level videography in low-light conditions.

V-Log L for Maximum Dynamic Range

V-Log L comes preinstalled for 13 stops of dynamic range. Users enjoy impressively accurate colour reproduction with subtle gradations from dark areas to highlights. Since V-Log L has the same V-Gamut characteristics as V-Log, LUTs used with V-Log can also be used in colour grading and footage from VariCam series cameras can be included seamlessly in the edit.

Multiple Recording Modes, ALL-Intra 400 Mbps 10bit Codec

LUMIX BGH1 offers multiple recording modes used for cinema, broadcasting, and other professional applications. In addition to C4K/4K 60p/50p 4:2:0 10-bit, C4K/4K 30p/25p/24p 4:2:2 10-bit, and ALL-Intra 400 Mbps recording, anamorphic 4K recording is also supported with unlimited recording offered on all settings. This camera delivers the quality, flexibility, and creativity that professionals demand in the widest possible range of video production environments.

10-bit video-recording capability provides robust colour profiles for an advanced post-production workflow. LUMIX BGH1 offers simultaneous C4K/4K 60p/50p 4:2:0 10-bit internal recording and C4K/4K 60p/50p 4:2:2 10-bit live output for external recording via HDMI. This compact, lightweight camera offers all the quality you would expect from a high-end digital cinema-camera.

Unlimited Recording

LUMIX BGH1 supports unlimited video recording in all modes. Drawing on technology developed for the LUMIX GH series, the exterior is designed for uniform heat dissipation. Aluminium and magnesium alloy body-frame and a cooling fan contribute to improved heat-dissipation efficiency while reducing weight for portability. Enjoy better durability and functionality from a compact body.

3G-SDI / HDMI Out and Remote Control via USB or LAN

BGH1 meets the needs of professional videographers working in the widest range of video production situations and is the first LUMIX camera to feature an SDI (3G-SDI) terminal. The connection supports 1080p output, ensures stable connectivity over extended cable runs, and enables external monitoring. Simultaneous external recording via HDMI output and remote control via USB or LAN tethering deepen your video-production capabilities.

MultiCam Control and Live Streaming

With multi-camera control and live-streaming in mind, BGH1 delivers another LUMIX first with Genlock IN. When used in combination with timecode, the function facilitates high-precision editing. Synchronising to the frame based on an external input signal, Genlock IN achieves perfect synchronisation of multiple cameras for live sports and other challenging applications. Feeds connect seamlessly even when using a video switcher. Furthermore, timecode is embedded directly in the video for high-precision drone shooting and other single-camera shoots.
