At HPA, Panasonic previewed its two-lens 3D HD camcorder (top)—which was part of the company’s CES lineup— at the HPA Tech Retreat.
A company rep said convergence is adjustable and images are recorded to HD cards that fit into workflows with various post products such as Final Cut Pro and Pablo.
An NAB launch is planned, and it ships in September for $21,000.

Arri previewed a working prototype of its “Alexa” camera (bottom), which was first announced at IBC 2009.
There will be three models of the 35-mm format digital cameras, designed around a new CMOS sensor and offering file-based workflow options. The models include the basic EV (electronic viewfinder), shipping in June for around €50,000 (roughly $75,500); EV+, shipping in September for roughly €60,000 (roughly $93,000); and OV (optical viewfinder), shipping in December for €130,000 (roughly $195,000).
The EV and EV+ use a 16:9 sensor, and the OV uses a 4:3 sensor. Arri emphasized features including sensitivity, signal to noise ratio and high dynamic range.
