Panasonic unveiled a new consumer-friendly 3D camcorder, and two new Blu-ray home theater systems.

The devices were announced during a press event at the US Open, which also highlighted the latest from Panasonic’s partnerships with CBS Sports, DirecTV, and the U.S. Tennis Association.

The 3D camcorder, the HDC-SDT750, is a $1,399 device that will shoot in 3D and 2D, and can switch between the two just by screwing a lens on or off. It weighs less than a pound, and is designed for on-the-go filming. 3D content is mostly stationary at this point, typically requiring large rigs. This works for in-action filming, but filling time with interviews and the like was previously more difficult.

The home theater systems – the SC-BTT750 and SC-BTT350 – both include speakers and Blu-ray players. The 750 system comes with two Tall Boy speakers, a center channel speaker and a subwoofer, while the 350 features four satellite speakers, a center speaker and a subwoofer. Both deliver 5.1-channel and virtual 7.1-channel sound, as well as Netflix and other streaming video apps through Panasonic’s Viera Cast software.

The new products are part of an effort by Panasonic to create an end-to-end 3D product line, letting consumers work with 3D. As one Panasonic executive said, “from your camera to your couch.” Panasonic now offers camcorders for filming in HD, mixers like the AG-HMX100 for editing and producing, and home theater and TV systems for viewing 3D content.

Stephen Roberts, a senior vice president at DirecTV, spoke about the content that is available in 3D, noting that the technology is already being widely used, particularly in the sports world – MLB, NASCAR, PGA, and now USTA events have all been filmed and broadcast in 3D.

The US Open is the first tennis event to be filmed in 3D, and matches over two weekends—Labor Day and finals’ weekend—will be broadcast in 3D on DirecTV. Much of those matches will be filmed with Panasonic equipment, both on rigs created through a partnership with Bexel and on portable camcorders like the ones announced today.

Panasonic announced the release of the first camcorder to use the Micro Four Thirds format, the AG-AF100. Up until now, Micro Four Thirds has been limited to still cameras, developed as a more compact alternative to DSLRs while retaining the ability to change lenses. The new AG-AF100 is no doubt a technical innovation for filmmakers, as well as an intriguing opportunity for Panasonic to cross-market its burgeoning line of lenses to a new platform.

It has been a year of line-blurring between traditional camera users and filmmakers. In the last year, Canon and Nikon have found great success with their DSLRs bounding their way into professional video production. While the cameras have certain limitations compared to camcorders, such as limited clip lengths and handlling issues, access to wide range of DSLR lenses has been enough to sway many a director.

Panasonic does not compete in the DSLR market, but they have a serious stake in their new Micro Four Thirds cameras (the format was jointly-created by Panasonic and Olympus last year). The new format has made a slow but steady inroad into the huge audience of camera owners that want an interchangeable lens system camera, but don’t like the bulk of a traditional DSLR. It makes sense, then, that Panasonic is taking a page from Canon and Nikon, while putting its own unique spin on it. Rather than simply marketing its Micro Four Thirds still cameras as video production-ready, it has taken components from its still cameras and re-wrapped them in a camcorder body. This design alteration should alleviate some of the concerns many videographers have about using traditional cameras to record video.

There are only a few details about the new Panasonic AG-AF100. It has a 4/3-inch CMOS sensor, and records in 1080/60i, 50i, 30p, 25p, and 24p (native), as well as 720/60p, 50p, 30p, 25p, and 24p (native), all in the AVCHD format at a 24Mbps bit rate. A 1080/60p option is noticeably absent, but it should be noted that these recording options are far more extensive than what Panasonic offered on any of its previous video-capable Micro Four Thirds cameras (like the DMC-GH1 and DMC-GF1 ).

To satisfy the needs of pro video users, the AG-AF100 HD-SDI output, HDMI, time code recording, and two XLRs inputs with phantom power. A key element to the AG-AF100’s success will be how well the camcorder is capable of controlling depth of field—a priority for many professional videographers. Depth of field control is a strong point for most video-capble DSLRs due to their large lenses and sensors, so the AG-AF100 should be no different.

Other details are scarce. There’s no price, as of yet, and the image above is merely a mock-up. The camcorder is part of the company’s AVCCAM professional line, which means it uses AVCHD compression to record HD video. Panasonic does not expect the AG-AF100 to be available until the end of 2010.

Panasonic announced its first consumer camcorder capable of capturing both 2D HD and 3D video, the $1,399 SDT750.

Panasonic was one of the most vocal early supporters of 1080p 3D.The Japanese consumer electronics company threw its weight behind James Cameron’s Avatar, and commenced work on its 3D Blu-ray authoring center at Panasonic Hollywood Labs in 2008.

This year, Panasonic has completed the veritable trifecta of 3D content. It officially opened that 3D authoring center in February, launched its first Viera 3D home theater solutions in March, and released a tool that lets consumers create 3D videos in July. Amateurs and professionals alike now have a method of delivering their content, and consumers have the means to enjoy it.

The brilliant part about the SDT750 is that it doesn’t have to be 3D if the user doesn’t want it to be. It can act as a 1080p AVCHD camera on its own, utilizing the “3MOS” sensor system (Panasonic’s method of using one CMOS sensor for each color of light in the RGB pallete) for image capture. It includes a 46mm Leica Dicomar lens and a 12x optical zoom function. It can handle the weighty 3D processing, but the bulk of what is the “3D camera” is simply an external lens.

With the included 3D lens attachment, dual 960 x 1080 images are captured side-by-side by the Crystal Engine PRO image processing unit. This content can be saved on SD cards as MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, but the camera also comes with HD Writer AE 2.6T PC editing software, so users can edit their 3D videos and burn onto Blu-ray/DVD.

When the 3D lens is not attached, the SDT750 includes “Panasonic Intelligent Auto” (iA) mode, which automatically selects ideal shooting settings based on the environment. While shooting HD video, iA offers Face Recognition, “Hybrid O.I.S.”, AF/AE Tracking, Intelligent Scene Selector, Face Detection and Intelligent Contrast Control.

Hybrid O.I.S. (optical image stabilization) is a new image stabilization feature Panasonic is introducing with this camera. It uses four-axis blur detection to reduce handheld shaking while tracking and zooming.

The Panasonic SDT750 will be available in October 2010, and a full list of specs can be found here.
