Genesis is designed for use by filmcrews. It’s modeled on Panavision filmcameras so your crew can adapt to it easilyinstead of using their energy learning to copewith evolving technologies - that translates intotime and money savings on the set. Genesis is

designed to work with Panavision’s extremelybroad range of accessories, hundreds ofspecial tools like filter tilting matte boxes, toolsyou can’t get anywhere else.

Genesis was designed to makepictures like a film camera. Footagefrom Genesis cuts beautifully with film becausewe paid special attention to the color filters onthe sensor so the camera has virtually identicalcolor and light response with film. In test aftertest, when film and Genesis comparisons areshown on the big screen the audience can’t tellthem apart.

Genesis makes great pictures because its12.4 megapixel Super 35mm size sensorcaptures images with the same depth of field asour film cameras. Another reason is thecameras extremely high MTF - modulationtransfer function. MTF, not resolution is the termmost imaging experts use to describe sharpnessand Genesis has MTF to spare. Genesis MTFtranslates directly into tack sharp pictures onthe screen.

Genesis sees pretty well in the dark –We‘ve developed a strong reputation forshooting at night without much in the way oflights but we want to point out that translatesinto extra time during the day as well. Manyproducers report they get up to an extra hourof shooting time when the light is fading – youfigure out what that’s worth.

Genesis doesn’t compromise yourimage with compression – using SSR,Panavision’s on-board solid state recorder youcan capture up to forty-two minutes ofcompletely uncompressed 4:4:4 footage -unmatched for green screen and demandingCGI applications. SSR reduces the weight ofGenesis, F35 and F23 by eight pounds.Steadicam and hand-held operators will tellyou what that means to their work.

Panalog – Digital cameras capture light in alinear mode but humans see in log. Panalog isPanavision’s exclusive method of transforminglinear to log in a way that captures every bit ofthe light from the sensor and delivers itoptimized for the human eye.

Genesis delivers its pictures ready toview and easy to work with. WithGenesis there are no complex and unnecessary

post procedures before you can view yourpicture. That’s because we build the imageprocessing right into the camera. You can seeyour true image even during shooting andmake changes while the camera is rolling --pretty powerful!

GDP – the Genesis Display Processor isPanavision’s answer to the problem of viewingyour images on the set and being comfortablethey will look the same when they get to thescreen. Panalog captures a much broaderrange of tones than any monitor can properlypresent. The GDP is a powerful LUT creationtool that transforms the Panalog camera outputinto repeatable, easy to view images forimmediate on-set judgment of picture quality.GDP LUTs are easily carried forward to postand DI to speed final color correction.

Great pictures start with great lenses.At Panavision we know the image never getsany better than the lens so Genesis uses thesame lenses as our film cameras including thelegendary Primos. Panavision has over fifteenthousand lenses in our inventory so regardlessof the look you want from right this minute toperiod lenses going back to the mid-fifties wecan help you get your vision on the screen
