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-HVX200A series 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 (1080/50i, 720/50p) 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 compositing and motion tracking. 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-HVX200A series can record onto a P2 card in 1080/25p*1, 1080/50i or 576/50p HD, and it's compatible with the SD (576i) format currently used in television production. The multi-codec system allows you to record in DVCPRO HD, DVCPRO50, DVCPRO or DV*2 where ever you need to go based on your client needs.

*1: In 1080/25p, Images are recorded in 50i by 2:2 pull-down.

*2: 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.
