Panasonic P2 AG-HVX200E

Panasonic has been a leader in developing video technologies for the production industry, including filmmaking, broadcasting and other professional applications.

Now we have packed a wealth of our leading technologies into an exciting new camcorder.

Introducing the AG-HVX200. This handheld DVCPRO HD P2 camcorder is designed to meet emerging needs in HD content production. It debuts as Panasonic's first HD video product to use P2, the cutting-edge memory recording device that has the potential to revolutionize the entire production paradigm.

The AG-HVX200 records HD, either 1080i or 720p video acquired by a new optical system and high-performance digital signal processor onto a P2 card using the broadcasting DVCPRO HD codec. This system achieves a level of image quality that conventional handheld HD cameras simply cannot match, while also supporting

HD/SD multi-format and multi-codec recording capabilities.

Variable frame rate recording is just one of the features that makes the AG-HVX200 unique in its class. Using technologies that make the Panasonic AJ-HDC27H Variable Frame-Rate HD Camera Recorder a favorite in movie production, this powerful function allows the overcranking and undercranking techniques used with film cameras to create fast-motion and slow-motion effects.

The P2 card offers superior reliability, immediate playback and outstanding costperformance.

It allows direct connection to nonlinear editing systems and streamlines the production work flow, by providing to the editing system data files ready to be edited, rather than a video tape which would require the task of digitizing.

On top of all its advanced features and technologies, the AG-HVX200 inherits the refined design and easy operation that distinguishes Panasonic's high-value DVX100 DV camera series. In the AG-HVX200, video professionals of all kinds will find a powerful tool for giving form to their creative visions.
