Panasonic’s New<br />
3D Full HD<br />
Production System<br />
With the Success of HD, What’s Next?<br />
3D Full HD Technology.<br />
Panasonic Corporation announced its plans for developing<br />
a new professional 3D Full HD production system. It was<br />
announced at NAB 2009 where Panasonic exhibited concept<br />
models. The system is expected <strong>to</strong> be the first of its kind in<br />
the industry and consists of a twin-lens P2 professional camera<br />
recorder and a 3D-compatible High Definition Plasma display.<br />
At present, 3D content producers have <strong>to</strong> hand-build their<br />
own 3D production systems by physically connecting multiple<br />
2D production devices. Panasonic is now starting <strong>to</strong> work on<br />
developing a twin-lens, 3D camera system. Also, Panasonic’s<br />
Plasma displays have been used in many post-production<br />
facilities in Hollywood. Technologies and expertise obtained<br />
from their use in post-production has enabled Panasonic <strong>to</strong><br />
further develop high-quality 3D viewing performance in its<br />
Plasma technologies. As a result of this process, Panasonic’s<br />
3D Plasma display system will help 3D content producers <strong>to</strong><br />
quickly and easily evaluate the image quality of 3D content.<br />
Each component of Panasonic’s innovative 3D Full HD<br />
production system has unique features. The twin-lens P2<br />
camera recorder enables the capturing of natural and high-<br />
quality live 3D images. With the non-mechanical solid-state<br />
construction of the P2 system, the camera recorder will be<br />
compact enough <strong>to</strong> allow more flexible 3D shooting, thereby<br />
maximizing the creativity of the filmmakers by eliminating<br />
the stress fac<strong>to</strong>r from the use of the equipment.<br />

3D Full HD recording using Panasonic’s proprietary P2<br />
system also enables recording of two channels of Full HD<br />
images on the P2 card. P2’s non-mechanical construction and<br />
compactness will also be incorporated in<strong>to</strong> the company’s 3D<br />
image recording and editing equipment <strong>to</strong> make production in<br />
the field highly flexible and efficient.<br />
Panasonic’s 3D Drive System enables the display of Full HD<br />
moving pictures for the left and the right eyes, so large screen<br />
3D viewing will become possible. The excellent moving picture<br />
performance and accurate color reproduction characteristics<br />
achieved by Plasma’s self-illuminating technology enables the<br />
realization of high-quality 3D image evaluation capabilities<br />
required in the professional content production field.<br />
Production of 3D movies requires a great deal of time<br />
and effort. With the new 3D production system, which can<br />
enable an easier and more efficient 3D production process and<br />
environment, Panasonic will contribute <strong>to</strong> accelerating the<br />
realization of easier high-quality 3D content production.<br />
