VariCam HS

The VariCam HS features the in-camera color grading function (CDL). This enables color tuning in the field, using control panel of VariCam or 3rd party software. This means dailies which had been created after shooting can be produced on-set and just with the camera. Grading information such as CDL file can be recorded together with the image data, thus allowing you to reflect what you imaged on-site to the post production process.

The VariCam HS is provided with two independent recorders. This feature lets you record in two different formats, codecs and selectable from V-Log/Grading simultaneously. While having main data for cinema production, HD video for previewing or broadcasting can be acquired. The sub-recorder records HD (AVC-Intra100/AVC-Intra200/Apple ProRes) together with a lower-rate AVC-Proxy file. All files contain common metadata. By using metadata from the proxy/preview file speedy operation is possible when conducting offline editing.

AVC-Intra is an intraframe compression codec ideal for video production, and the VariCam HS supports recording of AVC-Intra 444/200/422/100. In addition, it also supports Apple ProRes* codecs for recording, including ProRes 4444 XQ/4444/422 HQ/422/422 LT. Using the new large-capacity expressP2 card, it can record high-frame-rate video, 24-bit/48-kHz/4-channel audio, and metadata.
