Panasonic HPX 3700 P2 Camcorder

The VariCam 3700 is Panasonic’s finest camera to date, offering a native 1920x1080 imager, including 10-bit, 4:2:2 full-raster recording (AVC-Intra 100), as well as Dual link RGB 4:4:4 output with log response capability. Record AVC-Intra 100 for the highest level of quality; AVC-Intra 50 for extended recording; and industry-standard DVCPRO HD for added flexibility.

Inheriting the impressive dynamic range, color space and depth field of the original VariCam, the 3700 model adds several new gamma settings and image-enhancing functions, including an enhanced Film-Rec 600% setting, which provides additional latitude. For greater flexibility, the VariCam 3700 offers Dynamic Range Stretch (reduces blocked shadows and blown highlights) and Chromatic Aberration Correction (compensates for color deficiencies found in lens).

Offering variable frame rate recording in single frame increments from 1fps to 30fps, the VariCam 3700 makes techniques like overcranking and undercranking simple. Slow and fast motion footage can be played back immediately as thumbnails on the camera LCD or an outboard monitor.
