The world’s first*1 integrated twin-lens full-HD 3D camera recorder
Equipped with convergence-point*2 adjustment and automatic horizontal and vertical displacement correction functions
The solid-state memory file-based recording system enables high-efficiency production workflow for 3D videos
*1: As an integrated twin-lens 3D camera recorder capable of recording
full-HD video to its memory card. As of January 2010 (based on our
investigations).
*2: The point at which the left and right-camera lenses’ optical axes converge.
The world’s first*1 integrated
twin-lens 3D camera recorder
This product is the world’s first*1 professional twin-lens full-HD 3D
camera recorder. Current professional 3D systems are large-scale setups
in which two cameras are fitted to a rig in parallel, or vertically
intersect across a half-mirror. Separate recorders are also required. In
the Panasonic's new full-HD camera recorder, the lenses, camera head,
and a memory card recorder are integrated into a single, lightweight
body. This is much less expensive, smaller, more portable, and easier to
maintain than the current professional 3D systems.
Equipped with convergence-point*2
adjustment and automatic horizontal and vertical displacement correction
functions
The twin-lens system adopted in the optical section allows the
convergence point*2 to be adjusted. Functions for automatically
correcting horizontal and vertical displacement are also provided.
Conventional 3D camera systems require these adjustments to be made on a
PC or an external video processor. This new camera recorder, however,
will automatically recalibrate without any need for external equipment,
allowing capturing 3D image immediately.
The solid-state memory file-based
recording system enables high-efficiency production workflow for 3D
videos
Right and left full-HD video streams can be recorded as files on memory
cards, ensuring higher reliability than on other media. Eliminating
moving parts helps to significantly reduce maintenance costs. Users also
enjoy a fast, highly-productive file-based workflow.
