Program creation for HDTV can be made in the 1080i or the 720P format with the AG-HVX200A. Recordings can be output to a DVCPRO HD VTR via the IEEE 1394 interface and added to the existing HD production flow. When used with the Focus Enhancements Firestore, virtually any event can be recorded due to the extended recording time available. The P2 gear AG-HPG10 can be used as a backup recorder, or as a drive for uploading to or downloading from a nonlinear editor.
