Another Step Closer to Natural Human Vision

The World’s First* Integrated Twin-Lens 3D Camera Recorder Accelerates 3D Video Production

Panasonic’s AG-3DA1 stakes its claim as the world’s first integrated twin-lens Full HD 3D camcorder. Using cutting-edge technology and design the AG-3DA1 delivers a new level of portability and convenience to 3D image capture. Its dual lenses and 3MOS image sensors each capture 1080i/p or 720p video to their own SD/SDHC Memory Card using Panasonic’s professional AVCHD format.

Real-life 3D images are expected to find widespread application in fields ranging from movies and TV broadcasts to industrial and educational uses. In response to the rapidly growing needs for 3D image production, Panasonic now offers a revolutionary solution: AG-3DA1 the world’s first* integrated twin-lens FULL HD 3D camera recorder. The AG-3DA1 features a camera section with two integrated lens systems that are configured to resemble the human eyes, and a recorder section that records left-channel and right-channel full-HD images using the high-quality PH mode of the file-based AVCHD format.

With the same approximate weight and size of a 2D camera recorder, the AG-3DA1 is easy to handle. It’s also quick to operate, as it doesn’t require any adjustment of the left and right lens alignment such as vertical gap, size difference, rotation and luminance difference. The AG-3DA1 frees the user from the kind of complex, cumbersome procedures of a conventional rig-type 3D camera system. Data files recorded onto a memory card are readily processed using a nonlinear editing system. With its excellent mobility , flexibility and low cost operation, the AG-3DA1 opens the door to 3D image production.
