Panasonic Solutions Company has unleashed its new AG-3DA1 HD 3D camcorder at the NAB Show this year. This new 3D camera system is said to be the world’s first professional quality, fully-integrated Full HD 3D camcorder offering SD media card recording.

At less than 6.6 pounds, the AG-3DA1 is equipped with dual lenses and two 1/4.1-inch full 1920 x 1080 2.07-megapixel 3-MOS imagers to record 1080/60i, 50i, 30p, 25p and 24p (native) and 720/60p and 50p in AVCHD. It can record for up to 180 minutes on dual 32GB SD cards in Panasonic’s professional AVCHD PH mode, and offers professional interfaces including dual HD-SDI out, HDMI (version 1.4), two XLR connectors, built-in stereo microphone and twin-lens camera remotes. It is also equipped with remote terminal for focus iris, zoom, REC start/stop and convergence point. Its 3.2-inch LCD screen provides the option to switch from Left, Right or overlay image display.

The AG-3DA1 professional camcorder is easier to use as the lenses, camera head, and a dual Memory Card recorder are integrated into a single, lightweight body. It offers more flexibility and reliability to produce Full HD 3D videos reliably in more challenging shooting environments due to the solid-state memory file-based recording system and eventually share the files easily on SDHC/SD Memory Cards. Furthermore, Panasonic is providing the new 3D camera system at a much affordable cost.
