Panasonic VariCam 2700s, P2 HD Handhelds and Shoulder-Mount Cameras Also

Used for Coaching Shows on FOX Sports South and Web Streaming of Games

The University of South Carolina

Gamecocks have made a broad

implementation of Panasonic P2 HD

cameras and recorders for its college

sports teams.

Gamecock Productions is using two

Panasonic's AJ-HPX2700 P2 HD

VariCam® camcorders to shoot

coaches' shows for football and

men's and women's basketball and

baseball, all of which are likewise

broadcast on Fox Sports South. In a

complete overhaul of production

from tape-based standard-definition

to tapeless high-definition, Game-

cock Productions (the Athletic

Department's full-scale production

arm) also invested in three AG-

HPX170 P2 HD handheld camcord-

ers, an AJ-HPM200 6-slot P2 Mobile

recorder and AJ-PCD35 five-slot P2

drives. In addition, the Gamecocks'

football team is also using four

AG-HPX370 P2 HD shoulder-mount

camcorders for coaching analysis.

The HPX170s are used for diverse

coverage of the university's Olympics

sports and support web streaming of

a growing number of sports, includ-

ing men's and women's soccer,

volleyball and softball. The

HPX2700s are being deployed for

marketing campaigns, intro videos

for stadium and arena boards, and

overall specialty and stylized shoot-

ing as well as for the coaches'

shows. The P2 Mobile is being used

to record games from network TV

trucks at home and away, and also

as an ingest station.

"The HPX2700 is indispensable

for its distinct filmic look,

robust sensor, off-speed

shooting, advanced gamma

settings and gorgeous color

saturation," said Paul

Danna, Director of Game-

cock Productions. "Given

its extreme versatility, it has

quickly become our main

event camera."

Gamecock Productions is maximiz-

ing the HPX2700's potential, shoot-

ing in AVC-Intra 100 and making

extensive use of the camcorder's

variable frame rates.
