VariCam 3700

The new VariCam 3700 camcorder is designed for high-end feature, television and commercial applications. It offers a native 1920x1080 imager and 4:4:4 capability along with the expanded gamma settings and enhanced imaging capabilities of the VariCam 2700.

With P2 technology, the VariCam 3700 now records variable frame rates natively; each frame is stored without any pulldown or duplication. This allows for immediate playback of slow and fast motion footage and eliminates the step of frame rate conversion in post.

VariCam’s legendary Film-REC mode continues in the next-gen models, along with several additional gamma settings for even greater flexibility. The new Dynamic Range Stretcher reduces blocked shadows and blown highlights in scenes where bright and dark objects coexist, while Chromatic Aberration Correction compensates for the inherent color deficiencies found in some lenses.
