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 />
