Panasonic shows at FICOD the ease of 3D production

The content producers who have attended FICOD 2010 this week have been able to see first-hand the possibilities that stereoscopic production offers them in numerous environments. Among other solutions, Panasonic has exhibited its new AG-3DA1 camcorder at the Madrid Conference Center. In the RTVE space at FICOD 2010, demonstrations of the AK-HC1500 HD multi-format robotic cameras, as well as the AW-RP555 robotic control and the AW-H550 mixer, have also been seen.

The content producers who have attended FICOD 2010 this week have been able to see first-hand the possibilities that stereoscopic production offers them in numerous environments. Among other solutions, Panasonic has exhibited its new AG-3DA1 camcorder at the Madrid Conference Center, which integrates the two lenses, the camera and a dual memory card recorder, in a single light and compact body. The camcorder incorporates stereoscopic adjustments for ease of use and operation.

The twin lens system adopted in the optical section of the camcorder makes it possible to adjust the convergence point. Functions for automatic horizontal and vertical scroll correction are also available. Normally, conventional 3D systems require these adjustments to be made using a PC or an external video processor. The new camcorder, however, was recalibrated without the need for external equipment, allowing the capture of 3D images with great immediacy.

Panasonic has also carried out 3D content demos on its 80-inch Full HD Viera 3D display with NeoPDP technology and 600 Hz, as well as on the BT-EDL2550 professional 3D monitors for post-production and studio environments.
