What you see on top is not an interstellar ship, it’s the real GH4 with the optional Interface Unit! Attached on the GH4 it will allow you to use 2 XLR channels, 4 SDI, micro HDMi output, color bar signal, audio reference signal and has external time control.
The GH4 is the first Micro Four Thirds camera with 4K video recording and it will be announced tomorrow morning (5am London time of February 7).
These are the camera specs:
– 16,05 Megapixel sensor. It’s a new sensor with semi-conductor protection tech to reduce noise and improved dynamic range.
– quad core processor and venus Engine
– ISO up to 25,600.
– 12fps, 7,5 fps with continuous focusing
– GH4 uses the new UHS I class III SD card format
– Depth From Defocusing (uses Panasonic lens database to fine tune AF!)
– AF as fast as 0.07 seconds. 49 AF points.
– 4K video at 4096×2160 pixels and max frame rate of 96fps.
– Bit rate of up to 200Mbp

I never liked the look of gh cameras, but it’s very subjective, since I like the rangefinder type and the retro looks.
Upon first look at the attached unit I asked myself ‘ Does the video production crew come with it?’
I think this is a way to elbow out what ever video gear is being used by news organizations.
That is the only market that I can see that would make a profit for Panasonic with this unit.
I don’t think it is window dressing.
