Capture Action
The VariCam® HS — Changing the Way Action is Captured
The VariCam line of cameras has been used on a wide
variety of movies, commercials, and TV programs, and is
renowned for its color reproduction, look, and for bringing
progressive workflows to the production industry.
Now the VariCam HS has arrived. Drawing on the
traditions of the original VariCam line, VariCam HS helps
its users capture action with its 2/3 3MOS and bayonet
lens mount, wide color gamut, continuous 240fps
recording. It also revolutionizes workflow with the
addition of dual-codec recording, in-camera color
grading, and a modular design.
The feature-rich VariCam HS is ready to capture all the
action of your next project.
