December 09, 2004
Secaucus, NJ - The Serious Production Package, a bundle that includes a full version of Serious Magic DV Rack with Panasonic's AG-DVX100A MiniDV camcorder will be available through authorized US dealers in February, the companies have announced.
The AG-DVX100A was the first professional digital video camera to offer 24P/30P/60I acquisition for less than $4,000, and is a proven performer, having been used to shoot an extensive number of movies, television programs, documentaries, corporate videos and much more over the past two years. To complement this award-winning camera, Panasonic has opted to bundle another industry first, DV Rack, the PC-assist software to help videographers prevent shooting disasters.
Panasonic AG-DVX100
The AG-DVX100A features include enhanced 24p and 30p progressive mode functions and combine it with improved color reproduction, new cine-like
gamma curves and enhanced image adjustments. It offers a slow shutter function for higher sensitivity and dramatic motion effects as well as
smoother zooming and focusing. A new squeeze mode helps with 16 x 9 recording while the auto focus assist and interval recording modes improve the
camera's ease and versatility.
DV Rack
DV Rack is powerful software that runs on a PC or laptop connected to a DV camera. It includes ten powerful video components in a "virtual rack" that
precisely emulate traditional video gear at a fraction of the cost, weight and complexity. The components are all native DV and include a professional
field monitor, digital video recorder, vectorscope, waveform monitor, audio spectrum analyzer, video analyzer, digital still frame grabber, shot timer,
camera setup module and an automated quality monitoring tool, which evaluates every frame of video and audio in real-time as you shoot, alerting
you to potential problems.
