Panasonic’s VariCam 35 is a 4K camera\/recorder that incorporates a newly-developed super 35mm MOS image sensor and Panasonic’s popular AVC-ULTRA family of video codecs. The camera\u2019s superb image handling in multiple formats including 4K, UHD, 2K and HD make it an unparalleled tool for high-end filmmaking, and commercials and episodic production as well as live 4K events.<\/p>\n

With its innovative design, the 4K camera module unit (AU-V35C1) is separate but dockable to the recording module unit (AU-VREC1), which is also interchangeable with Panasonic\u2019s new 2\/3\u201d camera module unit (AU-V23HS1). This system flexibility can be expanded with an umbilical cable between the S35mm 4K camera and the AVC-ULTRA recorder, providing \u201cbox\u201d camera functionality for jibs, cranes and other remote camera needs. This common recorder module is also interchangeable with Panasonic\u2019s new 2\/3\u201d 1080p camera, enabling professionals to switch between s35mm and 2\/3\u201d camera heads to best suit their creative needs.<\/p>\n

The VariCam 35 utilizes a new Panasonic super 35mm MOS sensor for 4096 x 2160 (17:9) 4K image capture; this imager when combined with the AVC-ULTRA codecs for 4K enables very manageable and practical 4K production file sizes. The new imager boasts an impressive 14+ stops of latitude, and faithfully captures high-contrast, wide dynamic range imagery without compromise. Powerful color management capabilities provide a much extended color gamut for impeccable image fidelity, and permit support for an Academy Color Encoding System (ACES) workflow for full fidelity mastering of original source material.<\/p>\n

Among the camera\/recorder\u2019s top-level production features are real-time, high frame rate, variable speed 4K recording up to 120fps, proving the capability for master level 2K\/FHD recording; and advanced workflows with parallel simultaneous 4K\/ UHD, reference 2K\/HD and proxy recordings for in-camera on-set color grading and monitoring \/ editing ease. The camera also features a newly-developed OLED electronic viewfinder (EVF) with optical zoom functionality. Lastly, 24-bit LPCM audio is added for in-camera audio master recording.<\/p>\n

The VariCam 35 will deliver an unprecedented breadth of recording formats, including 4K and UHD in AVC-ULTRA 4K, and 2K and FHD in AVC-Intra 100\/200 (AVC-Intra200 is available only for FHD recording). Addressing the need for high-speed file exchange, the camera encodes high-resolution proxy files in parallel with 4K and 2K production formats, enabling fast, efficient offline editing, at bit rates from 6 Mbps down to 1.5Mbps. Wireless workflows for proxy streaming and metadata management will also be available.<\/p>\n

The VariCam 35 will use Panasonic\u2019s new expressP2 card for high frame rate and 4K recording. The camera is equipped with a total of four memory card slots, two for ExpressP2 cards and two for MicroP2 cards. The new ExpressP2 card can record up to 130 minutes of 4K\/24p content. The MicroP2 card is designed for recording HD or 2K at more typical production frame rates.<\/p>\n

Professional interfaces include: 3G-HD-SDI x4 for 4K QUAD output; 3G-HD-SDI x2 for RAW output; an HD-SDI out for monitoring (down-converting from 4K); and two XLR inputs to record four channels of 24-bit, 48KHz audio. A multi-connector facilitates docking the camera head to the recording module. In another striking design innovation, the VariCam 35 boasts a removable control panel to facilitate real-time control and easy access when the camera is in a fixed position. The VariCam 35 features a standard 35mm PL mount.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
