今天上午，松下专业影像部Director Kunihiko Miyagi先生在他的博客中发布的一篇文章，NAB信息发布会内容，松下Varicam系列将可以实现ProRes编码记录

内容如下：
Along with the details of the Codex announcement, the big news at our press event this morning is that Apple ProRes recording in HD will be natively available in the Varicam line.

随着Codex发布适用于松下Varicam系列4K记录仪细节后（点击查看详细参数），今天最令人振奋的消息是：
松下Varicam产品线将在HD模式下可有效记录Apple ProRes编码格式。

Our AVC-Ultra family of codecs is now starting to be accepted in the industry, and we believe will become an industry standard. Currently in the production industry, however, Apple’s ProRes is very much a standard already.
在行业内，松下AVC-Ultra“编码家族”（点击查看AVC-Ultra技术白皮书）可以被广泛接受。我们相信AVC-Ultra会成为新的通用行业标准记录编码格式。当然，苹果的ProRes已经是业内通用的标准编码格式了。

We want to make sure that customers are able to choose the workflow they prefer, so in addition to AVC-Ultra and V-RAW recording, we have made sure to include ProRes so that users accustomed to a ProRes workflow can continue on with what they are used to.
我们希望确保用户的选择可以多样化，用户可以选择自己喜欢的工作流程。
所以除了AVC-Ultra和V-RAW记录，我们为了确保包括ProRes在内的用户习惯的工作流程来优化我们的产品。

Having other codecs in our products is a first for Panasonic, and was quite a controversial decision, but I think it is for the best.
ProRes in our products is something that some users have requested for a long time, and may wonder why we haven’t included it until now. All I can say is, we’re giving it a try now in order to improve usabilty for our customers, and I look forward to seeing how this news is received.

这是第一次在松下的产品中加入其他编码形式，当然这是一个相当有争议的决定，但我认为这是最好的结果。

很多用户建议松下产品加入ProRes的呼声很高，并且想知道为什么我们的产品线为什么一直没有加入。我能说的是：现在我们正在做这样的一个尝试，并且为了提高产品的多元化以及可用性。我期待大家对这条消息的回馈。

I want to express my appreciation to Atomos. By offering their ProRes Codec module, we will be able to support ProRes in a timely manner. I also express many thanks to Apple for agreeing to make this announcement at NAB.

我想要对Atomos表达我的感谢,通过他们提供ProRes 编码的模块（ProRes Codec module），我们的产品将第一时间支持ProRes的编码。同时也感谢苹果（Apple）同意这个信息在NAB上的发布。
