Multiple Codec 4K/UHD/2K/HD Recording

AVC-Intra 4K is a 4K-compatible version of the AVC-Intra, intra-frame compression codec that is suitable for cinema production. Using this codec, the VariCam LT can record 4K (4096 x 2160) or UHD (3840 x 2160) resolution. For 2K recording, the VariCam LT supports AVC-Intra 2K444/2K422/2K-LT. For HD recording, the VariCam LT supports AVC-Intra 444/422/100/LT and Apple ProRes 4444/HQ. Using the 512 Gbyte expressP2 card, the camera can record approximately 180 minutes of 23.98p 4K video with AVC-Intra 4K422

In-camera Color Grading

The VariCam LT features an in-camera color grading function (3D LUT/CDL). This enables color tuning on set as well as in the field when using the camera control panel or 3rd party software. This means dailies which had been created after shooting can now be produced on set with the camera. Grading information such as 3D LUT files and CDL files can be recorded together with the image data, allowing you to provide the same vision that you created on set to the editorial staff.

Main and Proxy Recording

In addition to the main codec recording the VariCam LT has the ability to record files to an SD memory card. This feature lets you record an ungraded 4K master with V-Log in the main expressP2 card recorder while simultaneously recording graded HD files on the SD memory card. The primary recording data is used to create deliverables while the proxy recordings are used for viewing or off-line editing. The file name and time code of each file will match exactly.

Wired/Wireless LAN Connection

Wired remote operation is enabled with the optional AK-HRP200G Remote Operation Panel via LAN connection (with limitations on some functions). The wired/wireless LAN connection also uses applicable onset and grading software (produced by a third party) to enable in-camera color grading by wired/wireless remote control. In addition, proxy file uploading is also possible.

RAW Output

RAW data can be output from the SDI output terminals. This enables RAW acquisition from other-brand RAW recorders. Equipped with two SDI output terminals, it allows 4K/60p output.

Direct Adjustment of Audio Levels

T he audio input level can be directly adjusted using the Dial on the Grip Module (optional) or the Menu Dial on the side of the VariCam.
