10-BIT,4:2:2 Camera |
  |
Panasonic has unveiled the world's first affordable
professional camcorder with 10-bit, 4:2:2, individual frame
recording and native 2.2 megapixel imagers. Incorporating an
innovative, low profile shoulder mounted design, the 1/3"
AG-HPX302 P2 HD camcorder offer the flexibility of
interchangeable lenses but come standard with a 17x HD Fujinon
lens.
The AG-HPX302 imager incorporates advanced 1/3" 2.2-megapixel 3-MOS
technology to acquire full native resolution HD images. With a
redesigned optical block and a high-precision prism bonding
technology, these advanced 3-MOS imagers provide exceptional image
quality while minimising any flare and chromatic aberration. A new
20-bit digital signal processor (DSP) also enhances the AG-HPX302's
image performance. |

Delivering the impressive
quality of 100Mbps AVC-Intra 100 and 50Mbps AVC-Intra 50, the
AG-HPX302 also records individual frame images in 100Mbps DVCPRO HD
and in standard definition in DVCPRO50, DVCPRO and DV, which
provides faster workflow and less degradation in multigenerational
rendering. The AVC-Intra 100 and 50 codecs let you record in a
choice of HD video formats: 1080/50i, 1080/25P and 1080/25pN, and
720P with variable frames in 25P, 25pN and 50P. In DVCPRO HD,
it records 1080/50i, 1080/25P, 720/50P, 720/25P and 720/25pN. In
DVCPRO50/25 and DV, it records 576/50i and 576/50P
The AG-HPX302's interchangeable lens design gives video pros the
flexibility to utilise a wide range of broadcast and production HD
lenses. The camera is equipped with numerous popular features
including Chromatic Aberration Compensation (CAC) to maximise lens
performance, built-in scan reverse for use with film lenses, a
Dynamic Range Stretch (DRS) function to help compensate for wide
variations in lighting, a waveform and vector scope display, and
two focus assist functions - a picture expanding function and a
focus bar.
For added creative flexibility, the AG-HPX302 also has variable
frame rate functions for creating fast and slow motion effects. In
720p mode, a user can choose between 20 variable frame steps
between 12p and 50p. Because the AG-HPX302 records images at the
frame rate set in the camera, users can preview the speed effect
right on the spot, without using a frame rate converter.
The AG-HPX302 is equipped with two P2 card slots and if used with
two new 64GB P2 cards, offers recording capacity that exceeds that
of tape based camcorders. The AG-HPX302 offers all the benefits of
a faster, file-based P2 HD workflow including recording features
like instant recording startup, clip thumbnail view for immediate
access to video content on all cards, and a host of time-saving
recording modes including continuous recording, card slot
selection, hot swapping, loop, pre-record (three seconds in HD and
seven seconds in SD), one-shot and interval recording. The camera
also features an SD memory card slot for saving or loading scene
files and user settings, or proxy data (optional AJ-YAX800G Proxy
board required).
The AG-HPX302 has advanced gamma functions offering six shooting
scenarios, including the popular Cine-Like Gamma modes found on
Panasonic's popular VariCam camera, which gives recordings the
characteristic warm tone of film recordings. A scene file dial on
the side of the camera provides quick access to six pre-loaded
settings; the dial can also be programmed with user-defined
settings.
The camera's interfaces include two SDI outputs (switchable between
HD/SD-SDI output), video output (down-converted SD video only),
IEEE 1394, USB 2.0 interface compatible with host mode, time code
input/output (with built-in SMPTE time code generator/reader).
Additional features include, Genlock input, 4-position ND optical
filter controls, DC power input, color bar switch, three XLR audio
jacks (one in the front, two on the rear), wireless microphone slot
(2-channel UniSlot wireless receiver compatible) and programmable
user buttons.
The AG-HPX302 can also be used as a studio camera. It is equipped
with a remote control terminal (RCU) for use with the optional
AJ-RC10G Remote Control Unit and compatible studio remote control
systems. Later this year, Panasonic will release a customised
studio configuration system for the AG-HPX302, which will include
the AG-BS300 base station, AG-EC4 ECU control unit and AG-CA300
remote control camera adapter.
At approximately 5kg, the AG-HPX302's lightweight, well-balanced
design and ergonomic handle makes it comfortable to use. All
operation switches, volume controls and card slots are on the left
side for easier operation. The AG-HPX302 is equipped with a
widescreen 409,000-pixel LCOS color viewfinder and a widescreen
921,000-pixel 3.2-inch LCD color monitor. Its power consumption is
low at only 18 watts. |
