The AG-3DP1 is a twin-lens 3D P2 HD shoulder-mount camcorder that records 10-bit, 4:2:2 independent-frames, full 1920 x 1080 resolution images in AVC-Intra. The 3DP1 incorporates two 1/3", full-HD 2.2-megapixel 3-MOS 3-chip imagers with enhanced sensitivity and a 20-bit digital signal processor to acquire production quality, native 1920 x 1080 images for left and right eye. The HD twin-lens system with 17x zooming was developed exclusively for the 3DP1. With its high-precision assembly, no pre-shooting adjustment of the optical axis or angle of view is required. Focus, zoom and iris adjustments are synchronized accurately for the left and right lenses. The camcorder's 58 mm inter-axial distance allows a broad shooting rage of approx. 15 to 100 feet. It boasts low chroma aberration and high resolution, and delivers superb color reproduction, detailed nuances and crisp 3D images even in dark scenes, with minimal flare and ghosting. The 3DP1 offers integrated features that eliminate that need for external equipment, such as a 3.2-inch LCD screen that provides the option to switch from Left, Right, or overlay image display for reviewing depth information, and stereoscopic adjustment controls for automatically adjusting the convergence point for immediate 3D capture. In addition to a zoom ring, focus ring and iris ring that approach the manual control levels of interchangeable lenses, the 3DP1 has an isolated convergence dial. By changing the convergence angle of the twin lenses, the convergence point can be adjusted forward or backward to control leaping effects and depth.
Better developed twin-lens system with powerful 17x zooming The HD twin-lens system was developed exclusively for the AG-3DP1. It's wide-angle and 17x telephoto settings meet a host of applications in sports, TV series, and movie production. Because theHD twin-lens system is assembled with high precision, it requires no pre-shooting adjustment of the optical axis or angle of view. Focus, zoom and iris adjustments are synchronized accurately for the left and right lenses. The AG-3DP1 also supports remote control. It also boasts low chroma aberration and high resolution, and delivers superb color reproduction, detailed nuances and crisp 3D images even in dark.
Zoom, focus, iris and convergence In addition to a zoom ring, focus ring and iris ring that approach the manual control levels of interchangeable lenses, the AG-3DP1 has an isolated convergence dial. By changing the convergence angle of the twin lenses inside the optical unit, the convergence point can be adjusted forward or backward to control leaping effects and depth.
3D mode selection for maximum zooming effect: near/normal/extra Three modes maximize the twin-lens zooming capability. Setting the selector switch to Near, Normal or Extra optimizes the lens convergence angle range for each shooting distance. This quick and easy setting gives you effective 3D shooting over diverse angles of view.
3D assist display functions Various information can be displayed on the LCD monitor and viewfinder to make 3D shooting more reliable and convenient.
Z-WFM display This function displays the forward/backward relationship between the subject and the convergence plane as a waveform. It provides a general view of the positioning for the overall composition. The display range can be selected in two levels from the menu. Waveforms for parts with excessive leaping effects or excessive depth can also be displayed with warning colors.
High-quality LCD monitor The AG-3DP1's LCD monitor is 81.3 mm (3.2 inches) panel with 16:9 aspect ratio. With approx. 921,000 dots (1920 x 480), it boasts higher resolution.
Front and rear audio level dials Front audio level dials are provided for easy adjustment for shooting by a single operator. The channels to be adjusted can be allocated, or the dials can be nulled. Large audio level dials with a lock mechanism are also provided at the rear of the camera recorder.
