The AG-HPX250 is a new addition to
Panasonic's broadcasting and professional P2HD Series. Incorporating new
technology in the lens, camera section and recorder section, this
compact unit offers a level of performance that approaches full-size,
shoulder-type broadcasting camera recorders. It's also the first
handheld model to utilise the super high-quality 10bit 4:2:2 AVC-Intra codec.
Combined with the
high-sensitivity, low-noise, 1/3-type 2.2-megapixel U.L.T. (Ultra
Luminance Technology) 3MOS image sensor, it enables high-quality
recording of Full-HD (1920 x 1080), 10 bit, 4:2:2 full sample
broadcast-level images. In addition to covering a wide range, from
wide-angle to telephoto, the lens is provided with three rings - a
cam-type zoom ring, a focus ring and an iris ring - for the same kind of
manual operation that you get with interchangeable lenses.
The AG-HPX250 also features GENLOCK input and TC input/output for
synchronizing multiple cameras. Together with HD SDI output, this
provides smooth operation in a live relay and recording system for
multi-camera broadcasting and production work. A variable frame rate
(VFR) function for slow-motion and quick-motion images, and a cine-like
gamma setting also bring versatile expression to all kinds of image
production. This stunning image quality, operating ease and handheld
camera mobility work together to open a new dimension in news gathering
and image recording.
