We’re hugely proud to announce that we are releasing the worlds first 3D Camcorder in September

In an exciting step forward for 3D technology, we are excited to today announce the world’s first consumer 3D camcorder, due to hit stores in late September. The HDC-SDT750 lets you easily capture and create 3D movies of family and friends by simply attaching a 3D conversion lens.

Incorporating Panasonic broadcast technology, this new 3MOS System camcorder lets users create their own vivid, lifelike 3D movies – something that only professional movie producers were previously able to do – and then enjoy watching them at home on their 3DTV.

“This exciting new technology means that capturing 3D footage no longer needs to be left to the professionals. Users can now capture their own memories and see them come to life in immersive lifelike images right in their own loungeroom. This further expands the enjoyment of 3D in the home.”
Sophie Barton, Group Marketing Manager, Audio Visual, Panasonic Australia

Panasonic’s new Full HD 3D Camcorder, the AG-3DA1, contributes to the worlds first free to air 3D broadcast

The world’s first free-to-air 3D broadcast, which was transmitted throughout Australia in the early hours of this morning, contained footage shot on a revolutionary new Panasonic camcorder.

“This is a historic moment for television, not only in Australia but for the world. We are delighted that we have the opportunity to share in it and position Panasonic as a leader in 3D technology from day one.”
Mathew Alexander, Product Manager, Broadcast, Panasonic Australia

Panasonic Australia provided broadcasters with a five-minute clip of scenic views for 3D test transmissions, which was screened from 12AM – the first time 3D content has been beamed to homes in Australia. Test transmissions will run for a period of nine weeks and include a number of upcoming sporting events.
