How to use with Varicam

WonderLookPro can communicate with Panasonic's camera Varicam series to send LUT or camera settings or receive camera information.

We will explain about initial settings for on camera grading.

Initial state of Color Correction Screen　

After connecting Varicam and WonderLookPro with the same network, please start WonderLookPro and go to Color Correction Screen without any special settings(default).

If the Varicam was connected to the same network with WonderLookPro, it will be found automatically and be shown on the device list.


On the device list, Varicam will appear like ①. Device Control Panel will be shown on the middle of the screen like ②, as an floating window.

If Varicam's username and password are default, the communication will be started immediately and White Balance, EI and Shutter values are retrieved from the camera and values are shown on the Device Control Panel.　Under this condition, you can not use color correction function for Varicam, you only can watch metadata.


To make settings for Varicam, please click Varicam icon on ① or ②, or click "Device Setting" button on Device Control Panel②, to show Device Information Dialog.




①Login Information


If you don't change the Varicam setting, you don't need to input these values. If you changed the Varicam setting, please input new username and password and click Login button. If buttons on LUT Mode(③) are active, it means login was succeeded.
