True High Definition

Newly Designed Leica Dicomar 13x Zoom Lens System for HD Applications

The New Leica Dicomar?? HD Lens

Developed specifically for HD recording, this lens system features a large 82-mm (diameter) filter along with 15 lens elements in 11 groups, including three aspherical lenses.

The Leica Dicomar lens incorporates Leica optical technology and know-how throughout. The use of low-dispersion glass reduces color aberration and increases resolution, while a multi-coating process minimizes flare and ghosting. This results in sharp, crisp, beautifully rendered images with delicate nuances and exceptional shading.

Optical Image Stabilizer

Aspherical Lens

Wide-Angle, 13x Zoom Lens

The Leica Dicomar Lens is a powerful 13x zoom lens designed especially for HD video recording. Extending all the way to 4.2mm (equivalent to 32.5mm on a 35mm lens), this lens covers the full wide- angle range needed in most broadcast and professional shooting. There's no need for a bulky wide-angle conversion lens. With a minimum object distance (MOD) of approximately 1.9 ft (0.6 meter) in telephoto mode, the AG-HVX200 has true handheld maneuverability. And with the same cam-driven zoom ring acclaimed in the DVX100 series, the AG-HVX200 gives you the superior operability and control you need in demanding applications.

IMAGE QUALITY FOR THE PROFESSIONAL

OIS (Optical Image Stabilizer)

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

New Progressive CCD and DSP

Achieve Higher Sensitivity and Image Quality

New High-Sensitivity Progressive CCD

Each pixel has a large light-receiving area, giving this newly developed 1/3- type progressive CCD the kind of high sensitivity not available in previous compact HD cameras. This advanced CCD combines with a newly developed digital signal processor (DSP) in combination with a very sophisticated offset spatial technology acheives a balance of high

resolution and high S/N ratio that rivals HD broadcasting cameras.

New DSP with 14-bit A/D Conversion and 19-bit Processing

The AG-HVX200's newly developed digital signal processor for 1080/60p video signals uses 14-bit A/D conversion and 19-bit inner processing to attain unprecedented accuracy. While the camera does not record 1080/60p, 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 new DSP helps the AG-HVX200 deliver beautiful images in all video formats.

High-Resolution Native Progressive 1080/60p Scan

Progressive to interlace conversion, cross conversion and down conversion all start with the 1080p/60 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 capture. The result is an HD or SD recording with a level of image quality that electronically processed scans cannot match.

DVCPRO HD: The Image and Sound Quality Broadcasters

Demand Supports Multi-Codec Recording

The Superb Images and Sound of DVCPRO HD Codec

Using the DVCPRO HD codec recording system, the AG-HVX200 records HD video with outstanding image and audio quality onto a P2 card in file format. This codec, thanks to a low compression ratio at a video bit rate of 100 Mbps (1080/59.94i, 720/59.94p) and the easy-to-edit intraframe compression system, is suitable for recording fast-moving

subjects with no motion artifacts other than motion blur. The 4:2:2 sampling rate minimizes jaggies at chroma edges and is advantageous in image and compositing. Sound quality is excellent too, thanks to DVCPRO HD's uncompressed 16-bit, 4-channel digital audio recording capability.

HD/SD Multi-Format Recording

The AG-HVX200 is the world's first*1 compact camera to offer 1080/24p recording*2. It can record onto a P2 card in 1080/60i or 720/60p HD, and it's compatible with the SD (480i) format currently used in TV broadcasting. The multi-codec system lets you record in DVCPRO 50, DVCPRO and DV.*3

*1: As of November 2005, according to a Panasonic survey

*2: In 1080/24p, Images are recorded in 60i by 2:3 pull-down.

*3: The P2 card can be used for recording video in any codec. Mini DV tape can record video in the DV format. Both 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratios are supported in SD, 16:9 only in HD.

Video format and codec supported by AG-HVX200

A Semiconductor Memory

that Reflects Today's Leading Digital Technologies

Super-Compact, Large Capacity and High Speed

P2, which stands for Professional Plug-in, is a compact solid-state memory card designed for professional AV use. Basically, four SD Memory Cards are packaged together to create a single P2 card.

When striped as a RAID 0 array, this gives the P2 four times the transfer speed and four times the capacity of a single SD Memory Card. A slim, large-capacity 8-GB*1 P2 card (AJ-P2C008HG) can hold 32 minutes of DVCPRO/DV codec recording yet weighs only about 45 grams. Compliant with PC Card standards (Type II), the P2 card plugs directly into the card slot of a

laptop PC.*2 AV data on the card mounts instantly, with each cut as an MXF file. The data can be used immediately ??? no digitizing necessary ??? for nonlinear editing, or it can be transferred over a network. The P2 far surpasses all other AV media in transfer speed, too.

The P2 cards transfer data at up to 640 Mbps*3, which can greatly speed up production processes.

*1: Total card capacity includes space for data management such as system data; therefore, actual usable area is less than the capacity indicated on the card.

*2: The P2 card driver (standard equipped) must be installed. The P2 card driver operates under Windows XP and Windows 2000.

*3: This data transfer speed is a theoretical value. The actual data transfer speed varies according to operating conditions and other ancillary devices.

Reliable Performance, Repeatedly Reusable

P2 cards provide superb reliability in even the harshest environments. P2 cards withstand shock up to 1,500 G and vibration up to 15 G, operate in temperatures from ???4 to 140??F (???20 to 60??C), and can be stored in temperatures from ???40 to 176??F (???40 to 80??C). In durability too, the P2 card goes well beyond ordinary PC cards. Its connector portion, for example, is specially designed for professional use and has passed insertion/removal tests of more than 30,000 cycles. P2

cards also have a write protect switch that helps prevent accidental data deletion. Solid state memory has the unique advantage of being rewritable, over and over again, in part because it is a non-contact media and requires no rotation. You can use the same P2 card again and again for years ??? slashing media expenses while also minimizing impact on the environment.

P2: The Next-Generation Media

Immediate Startup and Better Data Protection

When you press the Record Button in standby mode, the AG-HVX200 instantly finds a blank area of the P2 card and begins recording. It can begin recording immediately even when you're using it to preview video. In normal use, there's no chance of accidentally overwriting a recording. Recordings will not be erased unless you intentionally delete a file or initialize the card.

Hot-Swap Recording and

Other Functions that Add

Versatility

???Hot-swap recording: Thanks to the AG-HVX200's two card slots, you can hot-swap P2 cards and have continuous non-stop recording. With multiple cards you can record for hours without interruption. Or, using an AJ-PCS060G, the "P2 Store," external hard drive,

you can download recorded files from a P2 card and then initialize it (erasing the files), so it's ready for re-use.

???Loop recording: Using two P2 cards and setting the AG-HVX200 for consecutive overwriting, you can repeatedly re-record during a particular recurring time slot, always maintaining a recording of the most recent period. Unlike video tape, P2 cards need no rewinding. They minimize wasted time and allow seamless, continuous recording. This makes them especially useful for unattended monitoring.

???Pre-rec: While in standby mode, you can continuously store, and subsequently record, up to 7 seconds in DVCPRO or 3 seconds in DVCPRO HD of video and audio. In effect, this lets you record footage of events that occur even before you press the rec start button, giving you a way to "go back" and capture moments you otherwise would have missed.

???One-shot rec: Convenient for producing animation, this mode records for a set time (from 1 frame to 1 second) each time you press the Start button.

???Interval rec: Recording one frame at a time at set intervals (from 2 frames to 10 min), this mode is useful for monitoring and special ultra-undercranking effects.

Clip Thumbnail/Data Function

The AG-HVX200 records each cut as a clip (file) and automatically attaches a thumbnail image and file information to it. To preview a clip on the LCD monitor or to check clip data, simply choose the clip you

want from the list of thumbnails. The Thumbnails and the Timecode information also can be displayed

using nonlinear editing software*.

* Supported by Apple, Avid, and Canopus.

Shot Marker Function

If desired, you can add a simple OK/NG shot marker to each clip either during or after recording. When a P2 card containing marked clips is inserted* in a PC, the PC will display with a M demarkation in the P2 viewer which of the clips is the one with the Marker.

* The P2 card driver (standard equipped) must be installed. The P2 card driver operates under Windows XP and Windows 2000.

Connects Directly to PCs and Macs

VariCam Creativity

Variable Frame Rates from 12 to 60 fps Allows Cinematic Expression ??? A First in this Class

INHERITING THE EXPRESSIVE POWERS OF THE VARICAM

the AG-HVX200 allows the undercranking and overcranking used with film cameras to create fast-motion and slow-motion effects.

*In 1080 and 480 modes, the frame rate can be set only to 24p or 30p.

Variable Frame Rate from 12 to 60 fps

Panasonic's VariCam ??? named for its ground-breaking variable frame rate capability ??? is widely used in the production of movies, TV programs and commercials. Now with the AG-HVX200, the variable frame rate function is available for the first time in a compact camera. In 720p mode*, the frame rate can be set from the conventional 24p/30p to any of 11 steps between 12p and 60p. Like the VariCam,

???Normal cinematic shooting is done at 24 fps, the same rate as in film cameras.

The AG-HVX200 can record in 1080/24p (over 60i) or 480/24p (over 60i) mode, as well as 720/24p mode. 30 fps is the standard frame rate used in production of TV commercials, music clips and video software. The AG-HVX200 can also record in 1080/30p (over 60i) or 480/30p (over 60i) mode, as well as 720/30p mode.

???Higher-speed shooting at 26* to 60 fp produces slow-motion effects.

This is especially effective for high-action scenes like car chases or crashes, or for scenes with considerable dramatic impact.

*When the standard speed is 24 fps. For a standard speed of 30 fps, anything over 32 fps will be overcranked.

???Lower-speed shooting at 12 to 22* fps lets you attain fast-motion effect.

This technique can be combined with warp-speed effect, special emphasis to flowing water, fast-moving clouds.

*When the standard speed is 24 fps. For a standard speed of 30 fps, anything under 26 fps will be undercranked.

Equipped with Native and Over-60p Modes for Previewing Visual Effects

New 720p Native Mode

In the new Native mode, the AG-HVX200 records images at the frame rate set in the camera. For example, in 24p mode it records 24 frames. Using the AG-HVX200 to play back the recording at the normal rate, you can preview the speed effect right on the spot, without using a frame rate converter. Native mode also extends the recording time of a P2 card.

720p over 60p Mode

This is a VariCam-compatible mode for recording 60p-converted video. For example, in 24p mode it records 60 frames by applying a 2:3 pulldown. The recording time is the same as in 1080i or 720p mode, but the unit can output a DVCPRO HD stream from the IEEE 1394 connector as it records. This lets you produce a backup copy using a connected external Hard Disk recorder, such as the Panasonic AJ-HD1200A DVCPRO HD recorder or the FOCUS FireStore FS-100.

1080/480 24p Advance Mode

The 1080 and 480 progressive recording systems convert recordings to 60i in 24p, 30p, or 24pA (Advance) mode. The 24p Advance mode uses 2:3:3:2 pulldown and performs 60i/24p conversion with minimum image degradation when recording data is captured via an IEEE 1394 interface to a compatible nonlinear editing system. This lets you maintain superior image quality throughout the production process.

24p=23.98p, 30p=29.97p, 60p=59.94p and 60i=59.94i

Cine-Like Gamma Provides Warmer,

Film-Like Color Tones

Eight-Mode Gamma for Richer Gradation

Drawing on technologies developed for the VariCam, Panasonic has equipped the AG-HVX200 with advanced gamma functions that address eight different shooting scenarios and expands your

creative abilities. Included are the

for the Professional

Cam-Driven Manual Zoom

The cam-driven (mechanical) manual zoom ring provides the same fast, precise zooming as cameras with interchangeable lenses. You'll also enjoy the operating feel. When you turn the zoom ring, you experience the same kind of steady resistance as you feel with 35mm lenses. The AG-HVX200's servo-driven zoom also allows slow zooming.

Manual Focus with Center Zoom

Enjoy quick, sharp focusing manually or automatically. In manual mode, the focus ring gives you the same kind of operating feel and responsive control as cameras with interchangeable lenses. An HD-compatible focus assist (Center Zoom) function enlarges the

center part of the image, making it easier to get the more precise focus needed in HD production.In auto mode, you get quick focusing when shooting at a high or low angle. When set to infinity, the focal distance is immediately prepared for the next manual focus. When in manual mode, pressing the Push Auto button temporarily activates auto focus.

Manual Aperture

The large aperture dial (direction setting possible) is designed for easy manual operation. You also can add backlight correction or spotlight correction to the auto aperture function.

Gain, ND Filter

Increases gain up to 18 dB. The selector has three positions: L is fixed at 0 dB; M and H can be set to 0, +3, +6, +9, or +12 dB. +18dB can also be quickly accessed by the use of the USER 1, 2 or 3 switch. Two ND filters (1/8 ND, 1/64 ND) are built-in and easily accessible.

Slow, Synchro and High Speed Shutter

Used with the variable frame rate functions, this allows you to create a blurring effect or crystal clear stop motion sports action.

The AG-HVX200 also features a synchro scan function that's suitable for capturing screen shots from a computer monitor.

Compatible with Mac and Windows Nonlinear Editing

With its IEEE 1394 (4-pin) and USB 2.0 interfaces, the AG-HVX200 connects directly to Mac and PC.

The IEEE 1394 port supports SBP2 (Serial Bus Protocol 2) and allows direct connection to a Mac, making it easy to transfer P2 files for use with FinalCutPro nonlinear editing software. When you've recorded on mini DV tape, the AG-HVX200 can stream to a conventional DV- compatible nonlinear editing system.

The USB 2.0 interface lets you transfer P2 files to a Windows PC for use with a nonlinear editing system (such as an Avid or Canopus product). These two interfaces provide you the best performance for Mac and Windows nonlinear editing systems.

External Recording with IEEE 1394 Streaming

The IEEE 1394 interface can be used to control an external device synched with the camera's Start/Stop operation, making it easy to create backup recordings. Compatible devices include the AJ-HD1200A (for DVCPRO HD recording), the AJ-SD93 (DVCPRO 50/DVCPRO), and the AG-DV2500 (DV).

Also, when used with the FOCUS FireStore FS-100, the

AG-HVX200 can provide extended- time recording in all codec formats,

TC Set and User File Copy with Multi-Cameras

Connecting two AG-HVX200 units together with an IEEE 1394 cable allows set initial time-code, which then enables time-code-matched editing with multiple camera-recorders. The built-in SMPTE time-code generator/reader lets you select the Drop Frame/Non-Drop Frame and Free Run/Rec Run modes, preset and regenerate*. User bits are also provided.
