The New Panasonic VariCam 35 and VariCam HS
The New Panasonic VariCam 35 and VariCam HS
The answer to delivering the best in high-end filmmaking.
Panasonic is set to release the new VariCam 35 and the VariCam HS. Release date is to be sometime this fall. The new Panasonic VariCam 35 and VariCam HS is in position to dominate over other cinema cameras offering unmatched tools for 4K digital cinema production. Camera is equipped with a super 35mm MOS image sensor for 4096 x 2160 (17:9) 4K image capture and presents a choice of codecs – Apple ProRes 4:4:4:4, PreRes HQ or the Panasonic AVC-ULTRA family. This camera records in 4K, UHD, 2K and HD simultaneously for superior flexibility. It provides full control over the widest lighting conditions by offering 14 stops of dynamic range delivering variable speed 4K recording up to 120fps. It also has native ISOs of 800 and 5000, with the option to set higher ISOs in the camera.
The VariCam 35 provides in-camera color grading. The powerful color management capacity allows for an extended color gamut for unmatched image fidelity and permits support for an Academy Color Encoding System (ACES) workflow for full mastery of original source material. It also allows the assignment of various LUTs to individual recording channels and camera outputs.
The 2/3” VariCam HS camera/recorder features real-time high frame rate and off-speed recording to 240fps in 1080p for SFX slow-motion applications. The VariCam HS utilizes 1920 x 1080p 3MOS imagers with 14 stops of latitude to provide you full control over a wide range of lighting conditions for unparalleled 1080p native recording/operation. The camera features a range of high-quality recording formats including AVC-Intra Class 100 (recording as 1080/24p, 25, 30p, 50 or 60p with VFR up to 240p), AVC-Intra Class 200 (up to 30p/60i) and 12-bit sampled AVC-Intra Class 4:4:4 (up to 30p).
Both cameras feature an original two-piece design. The 4K and 2/3” camera heads are separate from but dock-able to the common, shared recording module. This enables you to switch between S35mm and 2/3” camera heads to best suit your creative assignment, allowing “box” camera functionality for jibs, cranes and other remote camera needs.

ProMAX Launches New Platform Series 4 Workflow Servers
ProMAX Launches New Platform Series 4 Workflow Servers
ProMAX Systems, the manufacturer of Platform workflow servers, high-performance ONE workstations and Cache-A archival appliances, has released the ProMAX Platform Series 4, its latest and most advanced workflow servers for video professionals. The new Series 4 servers include powerful asset management features as well as a built in transcoding engine and an elegant new web interface that enables access to the system from anywhere on the network and delivers a superior collaborative production experience for video workgroups. Available with Series 4 are new high-performance storage modules with capacity up to 96TB per chassis. These “Extreme” shared storage modules deliver 2x the video streaming performance of standard Platform modules and enable full resolution 4K editing, up to 10 total streams of ProRes Ultra HD.
Platform Series 4 servers have been engineered to improve collaborative video workflows. Key to this design are new media asset management features accessible from within the web interface. These features include ingest with automated proxy generation, custom metadata tagging, search and preview. So critical to content creation, these asset management functions are included in Platform Series 4 and require no additional licensing fees. A new transcode engine has been built into Series 4 servers to power media conversion for ingest and delivery and is capable of handling multiple transcode jobs in sequence. Transcode capabilities can be optionally upgraded enabling support for up to 24 simultaneous tasks.
All media assets and features are easily accessed and managed through an elegant web-based interface, new to Platform Series 4. More than any other system in its class, Platform delivers a superior user experience for video production by presenting content and controls in an intuitive and fluid design. Users and System Administrators can now access Platform content and control the servers from any workstation on the network, Mac or PC. Platform’s indexing system makes it easier than ever to search for and retrieve digital assets, and new feature permissions give administrators a higher level of control over system access.
Addressing the needs of 4K workflows, Series 4 provides new high-performance and high capacity shared storage modules. The “SHARE Extreme” module is the first true shared storage solution for workgroups editing in full resolution 4K. SHARE Extreme delivers double the streaming performance of Platform standard storage modules and enables full res 4K editing for up to 5 users or a total of 10 concurrent streams of 4K ProRes 422 UltraHD. Platform Series 4 boasts a huge increase in storage capacity, up to 96TB per Online server (in just 3RU of rack space) and up to 216TB per Nearline server (in just 4RU of rack space).
Now available for the Platform product line is a new ENTERPRISE module designed to deliver a higher level of uptime assurance, integration and redundancy for larger organizations. The new module features support for integration with an existing Active Directory, multi-node licensing, failover/clustering and replication as well as optional 24/7 support positioning Platform Series 4 as a robust and trusted solution for Enterprise.
Announcing the Platform Series 4 launch, ProMAX CEO, Jess Hartmann remarked “Platform Series 4 demonstrates the next step on our journey to offer the most efficient and capable workflow servers to content creators around the world.”
