Panasonic solutions for any professional environment

Panasonic organized an open day this Thursday at the Plató Cenital in Madrid in which we were able to see its proposals in terms of projection, professional display, digital and 3D cinematography adapted to each type of vertical market.

Panasonic has organized an open day this Thursday at the Plató Cenital in Madrid in which we have been able to see their proposals in terms of projection, professional display, digital and 3D cinematography adapted to each type of vertical market. Although most of the equipment presented a few days ago at NAB is not yet available, given the proximity of the date of this day, professionals have been able to see first-hand solutions 100% marketed and learn about the experience that other users are having with these solutions. In the Presentation and Digital Signage area, Panasonic has shown its two lines of professional displays. Two 85” models were exhibited in large format. (TH-85PF12) for conventional 2D with interactive Touch Panel technology and for 3D applications (TH-85VX200) with surprising images that once again demonstrate that in stereoscopy plasma, that many made dead, is taking revenge. And plasma would present numerous advantages over LCD since in 3D applications, where brightness is not sought but high contrast, we get a vivid vision of color and pure blacks from any viewing angle. On large format display next to 85” Panasonic also marketed 103 y 152”. In low format, Panasonic has a professional display from 42 at 65”, highlighting the 47” and 50” models ( TH-42PF20 y TH-47LF20), designed for digital signage and monitoring solutions. Regarding projection, On this day Panasonic has shown the current product line, highlighting in DLP technology the PT-DZ110X series with 3 chip DLP, the PT-DZ570 and the PT-DW530 (mono chip with a single lamp and at a very competitive price in its range). This last projector is being used more and more in digital signage applications given its high luminosity and contrast., even, in brightly lit environments. In installation and LCD technology, The PT-FW430 has been seen with the wireless option and the new application for iPad devices, iPhone y iPod Touch. The optional wireless module allows direct signal sending from these devices to the projector. In the range of portable projectors Panasonic has exhibited the new PT-LB3, one of the most competitive and complete entry-level teams in its ideal range due to its size and weight. Professional video In professional video, The Cenital set in Madrid has hosted a sample of the AJ-HPX3100 camcorder, exhibited together with the studio configuration system. Based on a 3CCD system, sensor of 2.2MPX and code., weighs less than 4 kilos of weight and consumes up to 23% less than other cameras 2/3 3CCD. The camera offers multi-format recording capabilities, in HD and SD, DVCPRO50, DVCPRO and DV recording. The codec 100 AVC-Intra records high quality images, using 10bit/4 sampling:2:2 which includes an audio of 24 high quality bit, while recording in AVC-intra mode. It will also offer a Chromatic Aberration Compensation feature (CAC) to compensate for variations in lenses and the Dynamic Range Stretch feature (DRS), that allows you to suppress shadows and reflections. It should be noted that this P2HD camcorder now has the possibility of attaching a device that allows you to view proxy video remotely from iPads., iPhones and PC browsers as well as the introduction and simplification of the use of user-customized metadata. Composed of AJ-WM30 wireless module and AJ-SFU3100 software, the new system proposes a transfer of critical information between the HPX3100 camera and a wide number of portable devices, like PCs, iPads e iPhones. A WLAN connection is established based on the IEEE 802.11b/g standard, through which information is obtained from the camera (recording format, remaining battery, proxy video, etc.) or data is sent from the portable device (text-memos, shot marks, metadata…). Proxy video requires optional board AJ-YDX30. Standing up to DSLRs Visitors to the event organized by Panasonic were also struck by the new AG-AF101 4/3” camcorder with which Panasonic has positioned itself against DSLR alternatives.. Since the launch of the Varicam in 2001 o to DVX-100 (24p) years later, Panasonic has always been very attentive to those looking for a cinema look. Now, this professional camcorder with 4/3RD sensor, is finding an excellent reception in advertising, video clips, shorts, and all those productions that need a cinema look. The AG-AF101 4/3 HD is the world's first professional HD camcorder equipped with four-thirds MOS image sensor, in addition to being the first model within the Panasonic AVCCAM series that offers the possibility of having interchangeable lenses. Optimized for high definition video recording, Its powerful image sensor allows professional users to achieve a cinematic look in both wide angle and depth of field.. The AF101 uses a single micro four-thirds digital lens or cinematic lens as a prime lens with a conversion adapter., plus professional audio input (XLR), providing the flexibility that professionals require. The camera can record video in Full HD (1080i/p)/720p, including native Full HD mode with Variable Frame Rate function (VFR). Records to higher capacity SDXC memory cards in high-quality professional PH mode (up to 24Mbps). Can record to large capacity SDXC memory cards in PH high quality mode (until 24 Mbps). Two SD slots allow you to transfer an SD card (SD/SDHC/SDXC) to another, expanding continuous recording capacity up to 12 hours in PH mode or 48 in HE mode. Stereoscopic capture In the 3D area, The popular AG-3DA1 Full HD 3D camcorder with dual lenses and dual recording to SD memory cards has been shown integrated with 3D ready mixers, the AG-HMX100 audio and video mixer from 7 inputs and the AV-HS450E video mixer up to 20 HD/SD-SDI inputs and dual multi-display output. It should be noted that the AG-3DA1 camcorder has a compact body of 2.8 kilos, facilitating mobility and ease of handling of the camera. Besides, the Panasonic AG-3DA1, It is capable of recording two independent video streams in AVCHD format at 1080i, each of which is stored on a different SD memory card. The 3D images have been monitored with the BT-3D2550 25” monitor, and the BT-LH1710 17” monitors and the new BT-LH910 9” field monitor. Serie 50 At open days, Panasonic has also shown the Series 50, the company's first implementation of the IP and Serial Protocol in video production control systems. This product range will include the AWRP50 camera remote controller, the AW-HE50 HD/SD multi-format camera with an integrated camera and zoom control mechanism, and the new AW-HS50 semi-compact switcher with integrated multiViewer. The AW-RP50 control unit allows you to control up to one hundred AW-HE50 cameras via IP and up to five cameras with their corresponding pan-tilt heads with RS control 422. The AW-RP50 is capable of accessing a hundred presets for each PTZ camera (AW-HE50 and AW-HE100), and up to fifty presets for other pan-tilt heads. This new system with a simple touch allows you to quickly control zoom, focus, pan y tilt. On the other hand, the Panasonic HD P/T camera, AW-HE50, will be available in two versions, the AW-HE50H with HDMI and the AW-HE50S with HD/SD-SDI interface. Both cameras can be controlled via IP, and via RS-422 serial from both Panasonic and third-party controllers. This facilitates easy integration into countless applications.. The AW-HE50H is ideal for applications such as HD video conferencing or distance education, while the AW-HE50S, with genlock and HD/SD-SDI outputs, It is intended for sports production applications, realities, multi-camera entertainment and video communication systems. Regarding the new AW-HS50 switcher, It is a small, semi-compact device for SD/HD production with four HD/SD-SDI inputs and one DVI-D., with the possibility of multi-screen output. With frame-level synchronization 10 bit for each input, a channel for up conversion, two HD/SD-SDI and one scalable DVI-D outputs, The AW-HS50 offers broadcast quality in numerous environments such as mobile production, AC services, small studios and live events with a strong video presence. Like all the teams in the new Series 50, The AW-HS50 provides IP connection with the AW-RP50 remote controller, allowing automatic selection and control of P/T/Z cameras through the mixer's auxiliary bus.
