VariCam HS - Changing the way action is captured

Drawing on the traditions of the original VariCam line, VariCam HS helps shooters capture action with its 2/3" 3MOS and bayonet lens mount, wide color gamut, and continuous 240fps recording. It also revolutionizes workflow with the addition of dual-codec recording, in-camera color grading, and a modular design.

The production staff of the University of California, Berkeley captures action on the sidelines with the VariCam HS.

The ability to capture 1080/24p game action along with super slo-mo has given the production staff unique footage and different options for their programming.
