VariCam lt new firmware Ver.8.0 released
Hybrid Log-Gamma (HLG) mode added.
HLG output, designed for Live and “Near Live” production, principally supports the VariCam LT in CineLive configurations. The live output of the VariCam LT can be set to HLG, utilizing an extended gamma range for HDR production. This output is available in both HD video output mode and 4K/2K processed RAW output mode. The output signal can be graded live using the AK-HRP1000 Remote Operation Panel. For maximum flexibility and compatibility, while the main output is set to HLG, the secondary viewfinder output can be set to HLG or to SDR, allowing non-HDR monitors to view an appropriate signal.

Shot on VariCam & EVA1
Seven VariCams LT and seventeen EVA1 have been used for the season 15 of "Deadliest Catch" of Discovery Channel.
