More about Panasonic’s Varicam

Establishing the correct cadence of the footage relative to the final mastering frame rate which can be 24, 25, 30 or 60 frames per second is done in postproduction. In the field all the frames rate at or below 24 fps and at 25, 30 or 60 fps will play back correctly from the camera’s recorder. Frame rates above 24 fps with the exception of those rates noted above will not play back correctly in the field without using panasonic’s Frame rate converter or a desktop editing system capable of extracting and outputting the unique frames in the proper cadence for the operator’s selected mastering frame rate.
