Imagine
a seamless work flow, from shooting to editing to broadcasting.
The P2 card is a new solid-state recording media that
Panasonic developed to bridge the gap between information
technology and professional video. About the same size
as a PC card, the P2 card stores large amounts of video
and audio data in MXF-format files. A P2 system can revolutionize
content production, creating a seamless flow from shooting
to editing to broadcasting. P2 systems have already
been delivered to more than 150 broadcasting companies
around the world. Imagine what P2 can do for you. This
solid-state memory is free of taperelated problems such
as drop-outs. It provides superior resistance to impact,
vibration and temperature change. With P2, you cannot
accidentally overwrite important recorded data. And unlike
with video tape, you don't have to fast-forward or rewind
a P2 card.
Simply
select a thumbnail, and the video clip can be reviewed
right away. Or press the REC button, and recording begins
immediately. The P2 card can then be inserted into a PC
without digitizing, giving you direct connection to a
non-linear editor or network server. The AG-HVX200 is
the industry's first handheld camera that records on P2
cards. There are two card slots, so you can hot swap for
continuous recording. For extended on-the-spot recording,
the P2 card with recorded data can be inserted into the
AJ-PSC060G "P2 Store" external hard drive, which
holds as much data as 15 4-GB P2 cards. The AG-HVX200
can record HD, DVCPRO50, DVCPRO or DV format data on P2
cards. A built-in tape drive allows it to record on DV
tape too. This versatility makes the AG-HVX200 an outstanding
solution for a wide range of HD/SD recording applications.
Calling
Out to Production Professionals
A camera that stands out for ease of use.
The AG-HVX200 starts with many of the same features as
Panasonic's AG-DVX100A professional DV camera-recorder,
and adds a number of advanced functions and features that
improve ease of use.
Optical
system: The
cam-driven manual zoom, the focus ring, and the iris
dial provide outstanding manual shooting ease.
Pro
audio: XLR
audio input terminals that are compatible with 48-V phantom
power supply and volume dials for two channels allow the
use of handheld or shotgun microphones. The AG-HVX200
can simultaneously record up to four channels of uncompressed
digital audio.
Assist
functions: Shooting
assist functions include focus assist (center zoom)
button, built-in ND filter, gain-up (including accumulation
mode), scene file dial, programmable user buttons, and
full-auto mode.
Viewfinder/monitor:
A
large-diameter viewfinder with a tilt-up mechanism and
a 3.5-inch LCD monitor are standard equipment. The high-brightness
monitor displays menus and thumbnails and is convenient
for previewing video clips.
Design:
The body is short and easy to handle. The center of gravity
is at the grip section, making the camera easy to hold.
The large handle at the top has been designed to provide
an unobstructed forward view.
