Grading Control
On-set grading is available in two ways. Operate using the VariCam 35’s control panel or with third-party products via Ethernet or Wi-Fi interface. Grading results are stored to Main recorder, Sub recorder, and V-RAW Recorder. VariCam’s 3D-LUT data can be delivered to color-grading systems at post together with the V-Log clips. 3D-LUT data also can be delivered from the built-in In-Camera Color Grading system. 3D-LUT data (.vlt format) can be created at the test-shooting and imported to VariCam on site via SD card as LUT to be applied for monitoring.
