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.
