IBC2014
(BUSINESS
WIRE)-- Panasonic showcases its broadcast and professional video
solution under the theme of "See the Future of Your Business," at IBC
(International Broadcasting Convention) 2014 which is held in Amsterdam,
Netherlands, on September 12 -16, 2014.
Panasonic utilised IBC 2014
to launch the much anticipated Varicam, the star of a wide range of
products and innovations that will make film and TV production
significantly easier.

Varicam
The
Varicam retains the clever modular design first introduced at NAB in
Las Vegas, as the third generation Varicam arrives in two new variants,
the super35mm, 4K Varicam 35, and the 2/3 type, high speed HD Varicam
HS.
Andre Meterian, Director of Panasonic's Professional Camera
division, said, "Inherited from original Varicam, the Varicam 35
features a V-Log gamma to cover a wide latitude - an impressive 14+
stops.
"What is more, the ability to simultaneously record in two
different formats and codecs together with its in-camera colour grading
function means, for instance, that it is possible to record 4K master
and HD simultaneously and begin colour grading on site. This will
greatly help production companies to streamline their workflows."
He
continues, "Varicam HS will provide smooth slow motion effects, by
recording in 240fps HD, without a cache memory." The new Varicam 35 and
Varicam HS start shipping in October 2014.
News Gathering Made Simple
Panasonic
has also promised to make Electronic News Gathering easier, with the
introduction of the world's lightest* shoulder 2/3 type camera-recorder
equipped with 3MOS image sensors.
Set for release in October, the
AJ-PX800 weighs just 2.8kg, captures both SD and HD, and comes with a
comprehensive range of codecs including AVC-Intra and the AVC-Long G
(50/25/12Mbps) codec set.
Testing of the news gathering network
workflow began last month with Independent Television News (ITN), a
major UK broadcaster, and will continue to be carried out on a rolling
basis with the company's broadcast partners in countries around the
world.
The AJ-PX800 will be released alongside the new AJ-PG50
portable recorder which enables dual-codec recording and comes with two
micro P2 and a single P2 card slot.

Connecting Camera and Cloud
A
collaboration with LiveU will see future releases of Panasonic
broadcasting camera recorders support a direct connection with LiveU
Central, the unified management system which allows broadcasters to
acquire both live and recorded content from the field, preview it
centrally or remotely, broadcast it live or in scheduled programming and
distribute it to any location.
"By collaborating with LiveU we can
realise live transmission and file transfer on to a world renowned site,
making our customer's workflow more efficient," said Kunihiko Miyagi,
Director of Professional AV Business Unit.
