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. The AJ-HPX3700 outputs RGB 4:4:4 images with full-pixel resolution and P-10Log gamma, and the AJ-HPX2700 features a full-rate (1 to 60 fps) variable frame function. Adding P2's advanced file-based and tapeless recording to VariCam's world-recognized image quality and expressiveness, these powerful new camera-recorders facilitate the workflow while cutting costs.
