System Functions for Multi-Camera and Other Broadcast Applications

Multi-Camera Synchronizing with Genlock IN and TC IN/OUT

These handheld cameras support a multi-camera configuration. They feature a built-in SMPTE time-code generator/reader, TC input/output, and Genlock input for multi-camera recording with time-code synchronization. Images can be synched and output to a switcher, providing the same level of operation as many shoulder-type models.

TC IN/OUT

A multi-camera system using TC IN/OUT synchronization.

•SDI OUT (HD/SD): Allows camera-through output during HD/SD recording, or outputs high-quality 10 bit, 4:2:2 images for playback of AVC-Intra 100 footage. Includes embedded audio, and supports Rec S/S linked backup recording with a Panasonic recorder equipped with HD SDI input. When outputting SD SDI down-converted from an HD source, the Aspect Ratio Conversion mode can also be selected.

•HDMI OUT: This is a next-generation interface for HD video and audio.

It allows digital A/V output from a wide range of devices with both professional and consumer specifications.

•VIDEO OUT: SD composite output. HD playback is down-converted.

Other Interfaces

•USB 2.0 HOST: This allows files to be copied between an external HDD and a P2 card *1, and lets you view the thumbnails of P2 files saved onto the HDD.

•USB 2.0 DEVICE: Uploads P2 card files to a PC/Mac.

•DVCPRO/DV (IEEE 1394): Enables backup recording and dubbing by inputting or outputting a DV stream, including DVCPRO HD.*2

•Camera Remote: Controls focus, iris, zoom and REC start/stop.

•XLR audio input: 2-channel mic/line inputs supporting 48V phantom power supply.

*1: AG-HPX255EJ/HPX250EJ don't support to copy the files onto a P2 card via USB 2.0.

*2: Excluding 720p native mode. Does not support AVC-Intra input/output. Also does not output loop rec, interval rec or one-shot rec content. AG-HPX255EJ/HPX250EJ don't support input.

Advanced Design and Versatile Specifications Facilitate Interviews and Production Work

New, Stylish Design Boosts Mobility

Even with its high-powered zoom lens, the integrated camera and recorder sections are compact and stylish. Shifting the handle grip and LCD position forward (toward the lens) has improved the weight balance and visibility for handheld shooting, enabling a comfortably wide view. The magnesium alloy die cast chassis also excels in both ruggedness and durability.

Low-Angle Shots and Interviews

• The upper part of the handle grip contains both the Rec Start/Stop button and a lens zoom speed control (three speed levels). This design assures easy shooting even at low angles.

• The LCD monitor mirror mode is convenient when shooting interviews.
