The P2 HD VariCam Series Transforms the Moviemaking Workflow
The Panasonic VariCam is well known in the movie industry as a video camera that 
captures images with an appealing warm, film-like tone and texture. Now the superior 
image quality and creativity that characterize this ground-breaking camera have been 
passed on to two advanced new P2 HD camera-recorders. The AJ-HPX3700 outputs 
RGB 4:4:4 images with full-pixel resolution and P-10Log gamma, and the AJ-HPX2700 
features a full-rate (1 to 60 fps) variable frame function. Adding P2's advanced file-based 
and tapeless recording to VariCam's world-recognized image quality and expressiveness, 
these powerful new camera-recorders facilitate the workflow while cutting costs.
