The high-precision HD twin-lens system allows easy acquisition
of natural-looking 3D images.
The Integrated Structure Revolutionizes Mobility for Nimble Camera Work
Conventional rig-type 3D camera systems are large and heavy because they mount two existing cameras
onto a robust frame. They also require a separate recording system and power supply unit, which makes
the cable connection complex and restricts the location and the type of camera work. As a result, the
scenes that can be acquired with a rig-type 3D camera system are limited. The compact body of the
AG-3DA1 integrated twin-lens FULL HD 3D camera recorder weighs only 2.4 kg (5.3lb). It offers the
same portability and mobility as a conventional 2D camera recorder for flexible image acquisition.
The AG-3DA1 enhances camera work for all kinds of 3D image production.
The Twin-Lens System Sets You Free
From Complex Camera Adjustments for 3D Images
To achieve natural-looking 3D images, you need to pay close attention to the following key points
for left- and right-eye images: (1) Vertical deviation, (2) Angle deviation, (3) Difference in
brightness and color, (4) Rotation error, (5) Correct adjustment of the convergence,
(6) Appropriate image composition. With a conventional rig-type 3D camera system using two
separate cameras, these adjustments have to be made precisely for each and every scene.
The two integrated optical systems of the AG-3DA1 eliminate the need for manual
adjustments of (1) through (4), because they're performed entirely inside the camera
recorder.* The optical systems are assembled with high precision, and the lenses, image
sensors and signal processing circuits for the left and right systems are accurately
synchronized (see the diagram on the previous page). The AG-3DA1 lets you concentrate
only on the convergence adjustment and image composition.
*Fine adjustments of the vertical position, focus and iris are also possible.
