VariCam Creativity and P2 HD Workflow 1
The P2 HD VariCam Series Transforms the Moviemaking Workflow The Panasonic VariCam is well known in the movie industry as a video camera that captures images with an appealing warm, film-like tone and texture. Now the superior image quality and creativity that characterize this ground-breaking camera have been passed on to two advanced new P2 HD camera-recorders.
All-new, Next-generation, Premier Digital Cinematography Cameras Feature Native HD 2/3” Imagers with Premium-quality Optics High Resolution 2.2-megapixel CCD (AJ-HPX3700) Dynamic Range Stretch (DRS) For the AJ-HPX3700, Panasonic developed a high-density 2.2-megapixel 2/3-inch CCD that provides high-resolution full-pixel (1920 x 1080) HD images. The AJ-HPX3700 provides a choice of progressive/interlace HD video formats, supporting native 1080 23.98p/24p/25p/29.97p, as well as 1080 50i and 1080 59.94i.
RGB 4:4:4/10-bit Log Output (AJ-HPX3700) Both models come ready for system expansion with an HD SDI terminal that allows camera-through 1080/24PsF output. The AJ-HPX3700 adds a second HD SDI output terminal that can serve for dual-link output. HD images can be output with RGB 4:4:4 quality and the 10-bit Log (P-10Log) gamma curve*, ideal for high-end movie production using an uncompressed recorder. *P-10Log images can be used only with camera-through output. They cannot be recorded onto a P2 card.
Master-quality, 10-bit 4:2:2 AVC-Intra 100 Recording Assures the VariCams Deliver a Distinct Look That Closely Matches The Color and Response of Film Stock VariCam's exclusive variable frame rate 1080p/720p* Native mode Panasonic led the industry in developing the variable frame rate function. This ground-breaking function, from which VariCam takes its name, allows undercranking and overcranking to produce expressive quick-motion and slow-motion scenes.

AVC-Intra: The most advanced compression technology for master quality video acquisition A sample image recorded by an AVC-Intra 100 codec. It is a still image captured from 1920 x 1080-pixel video recorded using 10-bit/4:2:2 sampling. recording time per P2 card over DVCPRO HD and lowers storage requirements for editing. HD Multi-Format Capability, Including Native 24p Comes Equipped with AVC-Intra Codec An AVC-Intra codec board is included as standard equipment.

P2 Card: Superior Mobility, Reliability, Compatibility, plus Fast Workflows and Long Recording Times. Card slot P2 Cards Offer Outstanding Mobility and Reliability P2 cards feature a large capacity of up to 64 GB* (using the AJ-P2C064, fourth quarter 2008), a compact size, and light weight of 45 grams (1.5 ounces). This solid-state memory card is highly resistant to shock and vibration, so it brings high reliability and mobility to outdoor shooting.
Ecological Benefits — Thanks to Solid-State Technology, Broadcasting Can Help Conservation. Because P2 cards are re-usable and moving parts are substantially reduced, P2 HD is an environmentally-friendly technology. The wear-free and dropout-free memory card recording system does not need the tapes required by conventional VCRs. The memory card system reduces waste generated when the heads, tape drive mechanisms, etc., are replaced.
Versatile Shooting Assist Functions and Simple Operation Make Recording Quick and Easy Camera operation part (both models) 16 Scene Files and 64 Lens Files •Scene files: Store specific camera settings in built-in memory. Up to 16 files with settings can be stored in the camera's memory. Files can also be copied onto an SD/SDHC Memory Card, allowing storage of up to 8 files. •Lens files: Store settings for interchangeable lenses.
Front lower part (both models) Recorder operation part (both models) Upper new grip handle (both models) Focus Assist Function New Grip Handle This function simplifies focusing by displaying, in graph form, the frequency distribution of the incoming signal in the viewfinder and LCD monitor. By allocating this function to one of the User buttons, you can use it with a single touch.
1080/24PsF Line Output and Other System Interfaces to Meet High-End Production Needs Side terminal (both models) HD view finder (optional AJ-HVF21G— both models) Rear terminal (AJ-HPX3700) Rear terminal (AJ-HPX2700) Three HD SDI Outputs Two HD SDI output terminals (A/B) that also comply with 1080/24PsF standards and include embedded audio are standard equipment. This lets you make backup recordings on an AJ-HPM110 P2 Mobile or digital VTR, with rec start/stop linking.
