VariCam HS
DESIGN
Design - Rugged, Easy to Operate, and Expandable
Modular Structure
The VariCam HS is comprised of the AU-V23HS1 HD Camera Module with a 2/3-type lens mount and the AU-VREC1 Recorder Module. This Recorder Module is the same as that of the VariCam 35 featuring the AU-V35C1 4K Camera Module with a PL lens mount. Those two camera heads is interchangeable to suit the broad application. The camera head docks to the recorder without any cable connection. The rugged docking mechanism allows easy docking and undocking in the field, without having to use a screwdriver. The camera head and recorder can also be positioned at separate locations and connected with a cable. This lets you mount only the camera head to a crane, thus adding flexibility to your camera work.
Extension Module
 *Example using VariCam 35
With the Extension Module (AU-VEXT1) and Extension Cable (AU-VCBL05G(5m), AU-VCBL20G(20m)), VariCam HS can be positioned at separate locations. This adds extra flexibility to the shooting using cranes or jibs since it allows operation using recording module such as operation from control panel or exchanging media while shooting.
Detachable Control Panel with Monitor
Control panel on the recording module has a built-in 3.5-type LCD display panel. It can be used as the display for menu operation and also can be used as a live/preview monitor. The keys and dials are laid out around the display for quick and accurate operation so frequently used settings can be accessed directly.
The detachable structure allows the camera to be operated from a distant location (with 90cm extension cable). The VariCam HS supports a variety of shooting styles and adds flexibility.
VARICAM ROP
VARICAM ROP*1 is a remote control app for iPad*2 that enables users to control a VariCam cinema camera when the camera is mounted on a camera crane or jib. The display of VARICAM ROP provides a GUI similar to the control panel on the VariCam camera body, allowing for smooth, comfortable control with an iPad.
