High Image Quality and Advanced Functions in an AVCCAM Camcorder with Easy Mobility and Solid State Reliability

AG-HMC151 features highly-acclaimed functions for the popular AG-DVX100 Series of DV-tape based camcorders to tapeless HD recording. Using the cost-saving AVCHD format to record onto SDHC or SD Memory Card media, the AG-HMC151 produces exceptional images and responds to creative production needs. It also features a 28mm (35mm equivalent) wide-angle lens - widest in a professional camera of this class - and a 1/3 inch 16:9 progressive CCD. It further enhances image quality by adding a higher-quality PH mode to the clean, extended-time recording abilities of the AVCHD format. The AG-HMC151 handles full pixel (1920 x 1080/1280 x 720) 24p, 25p, and 30p progressive recording, and includes cinelike gamma and other versatile functions to meet the special needs of creative image production.

Tapeless Camcorder with Excellent Image Quality, High Reliability and No Dropouts. Economical handheld type. the SDHC/SD memory card is revolutionizing high-definition video production.
High-speed data transfer makes possible highly efficient video production.The SDHC/SD memory card is revolutionizing high-definition video production.
High-speed data transfer makes possible highly efficient video production. Video data is stored on the SDHC/SD memory card as files, eliminating the digitizing step required with tapes. This simplifies transferring of video content to a PC and non-linear editing.*1
The SDHC/SD memory card delivers excellent reliability. SDHC/SD memory cards have no moving parts, so they have a high tolerance for physical vibrations and impacts as well as high/low temperatures. There is no need to worry about moisture condensation or dropouts. A quick startup means you're ready to record anytime. AVCHD with excellent picture quality through newly developed PH recording mode.*2
The AVCHD format employs the new MPEG4 AVC/H.264 codec to deliver approximately twice the compression of the HDV format which employs MPEG2. AG-HMC150 series support higher bitrate recording mode,PH mode,which realizes higher quality of video images for professionals.


*1. AVCHD-compatible software is required. The hardware requirements recommended for the software must also be satisfied.
*2. Recording in PH mode requires an SD/SDHC memory card of Speed Class 4 or higher.

New Progressive CCD Raises Sensitivity and Lowers Noise and Smear
The new 1/3 inch 16:9 progressive CCD on the AG-HMC151 further raises image quality. It combines a significantly improved S/N ratio and better low-light performance than previous models. Backed by a high-performance digital signal processor, the CCD brings higher quality to HD images to meet the demands of broadcasters and high-end video producers.

High-Resolution Native Progressive 1080/50p* Scan
Progressive to interlace conversion, cross conversion and down conversion all start with the 1080/50p scan. That initial 1080p native progressive scan offers the highest level of vertical resolution possible at this level of camera. Keep in mind that the camera does not record this signal but uses it as a basis for all captures. The result is an HD or SD recording with a level of image quality that cannot be matched by electronically processed scans.
* In 50Hz mode.

DSP with 14 Bit A/D Conversion and 19 Bit Processing
The digital signal processor developed for the AG-HMC151’s video signals uses 14 bit A/D conversion and 19 bit inner processing to attain unprecedented accuracy. It is from this capture that all other signals are made. The DSP performs a variety of adjustments, including eight types of gamma settings, for each of the R, G and B channels. It also converts the signals to HD or SD format. With a performance equivalent to the processors used in many higher-end HD cameras, this DSP delivers beautiful images in all video formats.

Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS)
Panasonic’s advanced OIS dramatically reduces the blurring caused by hand-held camera work. Optical processing with an automatic correction function helps assure consistently clear, sharp images.

Dynamic Range Stretch (DRS)
In scenes with mixed contrast, such as when panning from indoors to outdoors, the DRS function automatically suppresses blocked shadows and blown highlights. A gamma curve and knee slope are estimated to match the contrast of each pixel, and applied in real time. When dark, bright, and intermediate shades are all contained in the same scene, this produces excellent gradation for each shade and minimizes blocked shadows and blown highlights. The images that result are enhanced by a visually wide dynamic range.
