From 4K AV solutions to the VARICAM 35, Panasonic is highlighting its vast range of broadcast technology at the show this year. At a press conference on Apr. 13, the company announced several new products that focus on high quality and efficiency of cinema production such as the 4K companion camera (AG-DVX200) for the VARICAM series, and broadcasting by P2 HD series. Additionally, Panasonic is introducing P2 Cast, a cloud-based news production system that accelerates news gathering, especially in breaking news situations.
At NAB, it was also announced that the award winning LUMIX GH4 will have a firmware update (Ver.2.2) available later this month, enabling recording anamorphic video content. Unlike complex digital post processing needed to achieve the classic Hollywood look, many effects that have become so popular with anamorphic film capture can now be achieved optically in the LUMIX GH4.
With these multiple announcements, Panasonic aims to strengthen its professional AV solutions by utilizing its capabilities in the AV and IT technology space.
Highlights of Panasonic at NAB 2015
4K Solutions
4K is gaining
ground as a production format at an ever increasing pace. And as
industry leaders Amazon and NETFLIX have shown, 4K is becoming an
important business differentiator.
With more than 500 units shipped
worldwide, the VARICAM 35 and its high-speed model, the VARICAM HS, gain
converts daily. U.S. rental companies like PANAVISION, CLAIREMONT, ABEL
CINE, DAUFENBACH and more have VARICAMs out on projects.
The VARICAM 35 opens the door to new solutions with its multi-format production friendly workflows. From in-camera color grading and 3D LUTs for on-set pre-visualization to its dual native ISO's, the VARICAM 35 offers unique functionality to DPs and producers.

As well as innovation of products, Panasonic will focus on the function of Panasonic Hollywood Lab as a hub for film professionals.
Workflow Innovation
Panasonic
introduces P2 Cast, a cloud-based news production system that leverages
the network features of the company's next-generation P2 HD camcorders
with AVC-ULTRA recording -- the AJ-PX5000G, AJ-PX800 and AJ-PX270. P2
Cast integrates these camcorders' network capabilities so content
uploaded to the cloud is immediately available for reviewing and editing.
The
service has been tested for the past several months by major
international and domestic broadcasters, including Time Warner Cable NY1
News, the cable network's 24-hour news channel in New York City. "We've
been successfully using P2 Cast with some of our PX270 ENG cameras, with
the result that our producers are able to see breaking news in near
real-time," said Gerry Gallagher, Director of Remote Operation. "The
real proof-of-concept for us happened while covering a recent explosion
on the lower East Side. Before the trucks arrived, before the CNG gear
was on the scene, we could see what was happening without disturbing our
shooters, download clips and begin writing the story. P2 Cast is giving
us eyes on the ground into news as it's happening."
P2 Cast is immediately available in the United States and Europe on a free trial basis through September 2015, at which time the service becomes chargeable.
Wearable POV Action-cam
Panasonic
also announced the HX-A1 (A1) wearable, ultra-compact, POV action
camcorder that is so lightweight (at 1.6 ounces or approx. 45 grams)
that shooting hands-free is nearly imperceptible. This allows for longer
periods of recording exciting scenes in Full HD. The A1's rugged
structure keeps water and dust out and protects against impact and cold
temperatures. Whether you'll be getting wet while rafting or
snowboarding and skiing in the freezing cold, the A1 is the ideal choice
for any adventure thanks to its high durability. Another feature is
shooting in total darkness. Using an infrared (IR) light source
(commercially-available) and an IR filter for night mode (included in
packaging), you can capture video in caves with no light or nocturnal
wildlife at night.
