Panasonic to Accelerate the Creation of 3D Content with Flexible Professional Camcorder

September 01, 2010 11:24

Panasonic Australia has announced the release of the AG-3DA1 Full HD 3D Camcorder, along with the start of a series of intensive 3D Professional Masterclasses which are being held across the country’s eastern seaboard.

Available from September, the AG-3DA1 is a professional-quality, Full HD 3D Camcorder that is an easy to use, flexible and cost-effective option for cinematographers eager to move into this new medium.

According to Mathew Alexander, Product Manager, Broadcast, Panasonic Australia, the global demand for 3D content is rapidly increasing, particularly in the TV industry, and Australian cinematographers are looking for a 3D camcorder that will enable them to develop content quickly and affordably.

“The demand for 3D content is creating a range of exciting new opportunities. With the availability of the AG-3DA1 cinematographers now have the tool they need to capitalise on this,” said Mr. Alexander.

“Traditionally 3D cameras have been predominantly used for shooting feature films and this necessitated expensive and cumbersome rigs that could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. However with the increasing demand for high-quality 3D TV content, cinematographers need a flexible camcorder for shooting on the fly,” he said.

By integrating the lenses, camera head and a dual memory card recorder into a single, lightweight body, Panasonic has created a camera that allows hand-held style shooting ideal for projects such as documentaries and live events.

The AG-3DA1 will be available from Panasonic Professional Broadcast dealers, priced at $33,500rrp. For more information, visit www.panasonic.com.au
