Bexel partners with Panasonic for 3D content

Bexel will have six 3D camera rigs; four 3Ality Digital models and two new Parallax3 Renegade models added to their inventory.

All are equipped with the Panasonic AK-HC1500G 1080i/720p HD cameras. The rigs are available for individual rentals as well as being offered as part of Bexel’s flypack or truck systems for multi-camera productions.

In addition to the rigs, Bexel will be able to supply the new Panasonic 3DA1 3D camcorder, either as a stand-alone or to compliment the multi-camera systems.

Jerry Gepner, chief executive officer, Bexel, said: ‘For 3D to truly reach its potential, production companies need to start employing it across a wide range of content, not just at premier events. Until now, scalability and operating costs were among the key challenges limiting 3D production. We aim to help address those hurdles with our 3D service offering.’

Bexel has also announced a newly designed BBSOne mobile production environment, designed to support 3D production. The 53-foot trailer features a newly designed interior and infrastructure optimized for small to mid-sized 3D productions or mobile 3D viewing and editing.

The unit has the capability to be outfitted as a 3D production control facility with full switching, audio, convergence and record/replay capability. It can be equipped with up to six 3D rigs and a wide variety of tape, disc and graphics systems to suit a wide range of production needs.
