VariCam Translation Software is now available
Panasonic Broadcast & Television Systems Company is pleased to announce that translation software that allows set-up files from the two versions of the immensely popular VariCams is now available on-line. This software is designed so that set-up files from the AJ-HDC27F can be converted and imported to the newer version of the VariCam, the AJ-HDC27H and visa versa. In addition, this software can be used to edit an existing setup file from either the AJ-HDC27F or AJ-HDC27H. It can also be used to create a new setup file for either of the VariCam cameras.
This translation software is free and available from the Panasonic AJ-HDC27H web page which can be easily found by logging on to http://www.panasonic.com/broadcast Go to the page for the AJ-HDC27H, click on Support & Resources and then simply download the program to your PC based laptop or desktop computer. This software is particularly useful on a laptop in the field when using both versions of the VariCam. For operating the software simply follow the directions in the Operations Manual. Please notice that this software is compatible with PC based computers running Windows XP only at this time.
It should also be noted that because there are significant changes in the menu structure and new internal components of the AJ-HDC27H as compared to the AJ-HDC27F, a direct, exact translation of the look of the two cameras may not be possible. But by using this translation software it is, however, possible to achieve a very close approximation of the two set up files. That is, the two different versions of the cameras will be close in set-up functions, but not exact. Therefore it might be necessary to make some modifications to the internal set ups of the camera that is being tasked to match the source or primary camera.
While this may seem complicated, this is a common process in use to specifically match a multitude of camcorders on a particular shoot. This same process might even be used to try to match the quality of a VariCam on a shoot with another manufacturer
