VariCam HS – HD Broadcast High-Speed camera
Capture up to 240-fps in 1080p
Stunning Image Quality
Panasonic VariCam HS takes advantages of three newly-developed, 1920 x 1080p MOS imagers. VariCam includes as well a bayonet lens mount, wide colour gamut and continuous 240fps recording. It revolutionises workflow with the addition of dual-codec recording, in-camera colour grading, and a modular design.
The dynamic range of 14+ stops
with wide dynamic range VariCam 35 assures authentic image rendering over the entire image and provides low-noise images without any compromise in picture quality.
Panasonic VariCam LT , more cost-effective version of VariCam 35.
