Panasonic unveiled the world’s first affordable 10-bit, 4:2:2 professional HD camcorder, featuring individual frame AVC-Intra recording, native 2.2-megapixel imagers and variable frame rates. Incorporating an innovative, low profile shoulder mounted design, the 1/3†AG-HPX300 P2 HD camcorder offers the flexibility of interchangeable lens but comes standard with a 17x HD Fujinon lens.
The Panasonic AG-HPX300 is a 1/3″ CMOS camera featuring full resolution 1920×1080 chips. The camera’s ENG frame comes equipped with a Fujinon 17x lens, making it the most affordable full-sized shoulder mounted camera available. The HPX300 has a feature-set including timecode, genlock and HD-SDI, which is usually found only on more expensive cameras. More importantly, the HPX300 can record Panasonic’s premiere recording format, AVC-Intra. When shooting in AVC-Intra mode the camera has the ability to shoot full-raster 1080p footage at 10-bit 4:2:2 color, something unheard of at this price-point.
AVC-Intra
AVC-Intra uses the popular H.264/AVC codec, making it twice as efficient as DVCPRO HD at comparable bitrates. At 50mbps version of AVC-Intra will perform at the same quality as DVCPRO HD at 100mbps, allowing users to shoot for twice the duration per P2 card. If cranked up to 100mbps, the format performs beautifully with a full-raster 10-bit 4:2:2 based color system, making it the superior codec at its price-point.
DVCPRO HD Legacy Support
If your production calls for using the tried and true DVCPRO format, have no fear. The HPX300 comes with all the settings users have come to know and love on the HVX200 and HPX170, including DVCPRO 25, DVCPRO 50 and DVCPRO HD (100) in both standard and high definition. At DVCPRO HD, users can shoot 720p at multiple frame rates, along with 1080/60i and 1080/24p or 30p.
