Among the products to be showcased by Panasonic at Mediatech Africa is the AG-3DA1, the world’s first integrated twin-lens full HD 3D camera recorder. The AG-3DA1 features a camera section with two integrated lens systems that are configured to resemble the human eyes, and a recorder section that records left-channel and right-channel full-HD images using the high quality PH mode of the file-based AVCHD format. With the same approximate weight and size of a 2D camera recorder, the AG-3DA1 doesn’t require any adjustment of the left and right lens alignment such as vertical gap, size difference, rotation and luminance difference. Data files recorded onto a memory card are readily processed using a nonlinear editing system.
Newly added to the Panasonic AVCCAM lineup, the AG-AC160 and AG-AC130 Memory Card Camera Recorders offer a host of advanced functions. The lens, camera section and recorder section of these models have been significantly revamped by incorporating cutting-edge technologies. The new 22x zoom lens boasts wide coverage, from wide-angle to telephoto, while cam-type zoom, focus, and iris rings let the camera operator make manual adjustments just like with an interchangeable lens. The high-sensitivity, low-noise, high resolution 1/3-type 2.2-megapixel U.L.T. (Ultra Luminance Technology) MOS image sensor and professional AVCHD PH mode ensure high-quality Full-HD (1920 x 1080) recording.
The AJ-HPX3100 memory card camera recorder, weighing just 3.9kg, incorporates a 2.2 megapixel 2/3 type 3CCD, a high performance DSP and an AVC-Intra codec LSI to record broadcast quality HD video with full pixel (1920 x 1080) resolution using 10 bit / 4:2:2 sampling.
Also to be showcased at Mediatech Africa are the AG-AF101E 4/3 inch camera and the AG-HMX100E 8-channel switcher.
These Panasonic products will be on the Timbre Broadcast stand numbers: C9, C11 & D8
