Quick Start Guide for Loading a Look into the Panasonic Varicams
This guide explains how to load a custom look that you may have as a file saved on your com-
puter. In order to load a custom look or scene into the HPX 3700 or 2700 camera you need to
have a properly formatted SD card. Please insure the card has been formatted in the camera or
by using the Panasonic SD formatter software.
NOTE: You can not simply format the SD card and drag the Set-up from a PC on the card. You
must first create a registry by saving a stock set up file on the card. This will create a folder
named"PRIVATE".
Procedure for loading a look:
First, the SD card must be formatted in either the camera or the Panasonic formatter software.
If using the camera....
Step 1: -Insert the SD card into the 3700:
-Open the camera menu
-select File > SD card Read / Write > Card Config > Yes
This will format the card. The card is now blank and requires a menu structure (private folder) in
which the desired look can be stored and later off loaded to the camera. To create this menu
structure you must load a "stock scene" from the camera.
Next, in order to save a stock scene from the camera file onto the card....
Step 2: -Under W. Select, select file #8
-Under Title, name your file
-Select Write > Yes
You have now created the menu structure by loading a "stock scene" from the camera.
Next, you must load the new set-up files onto the SD card....
Step 3: - Insert the SD card into the PC containing the new set-up files
- Open the card
- The file sequence found on the card should be PRIVATE >
MEIGROUP > PAVCN > SBG > P2SD
- In the P2SD folder should be a text document titled "Scene F8". (the
stock scene you saved from the camera). Just drag and drop your
tom scene files into this folder with "Scene F8".
-
Eject the SD card
Finally, insert the SD card back into the camera....
Step 4: - Open the camera menu
- Select File > SD card Read / Write > select the desired scene file >
select Read File > Yes
You have now loaded a custom "Look" into the HPX 3700 or 2700.
