Now capture at the same quality you master: 1920 x 1080 / 10-bit/4:2:2 Sampling

Panasonic has brought its most advanced video imaging technologies together to create a camera-recorder that brings image quality and resolution to new heights. The new AJ-HPX3000 takes its place at the top of the P2 HD Series, Panasonic's solid-state line of professional broadcasting and video production equipment.

At the heart of the AJ-HPX3000 is a newly developed high-resolution 2.2- megapixel CCD and an AVC-Intra codec recording system that employs the industry's most advanced image compression technology. These combine to make the AJ-HPX3000 the first integrated camera-recorder to offer high-image- quality, high-resolution 1920 x 1080-pixel recording with full 10-bit/ 4:2:2 sampling.

The AJ-HPX3000 also adds a host of leading image-enhancing functions. For example, when used with a compatible zoom lens, the AJ-HPX3000 provides a chromatic aberration compensation (CAC) function to capture images that closely replicate those shot with a digital prime lens. There is also a dynamic range stretcher (DRS) function that suppresses blocked shadows and blown highlights while expanding the dynamic range.

The AJ-HPX3000 supports native 1080/23.98p (29.97p/25p) recording and is equipped for movie production with the FilmRec gamma mode and scan reverse function for film lenses. The AJ-HPX3000 can be used with conventional HD systems or for SD video production, and enables either DVCPRO HD or DVCPRO50 codec recording.

This integrated camera-recorder makes it possible to acquire the kind of high- quality video that in the past required a standalone HD camera plus a large VTR such as the HD-D5. That not only gives you a huge advantage in mobility, it also gives you the freedom to create new, innovative shooting techniques. Even better, the AJ-HPX3000 uses P2 solid-state memory, which provides outstanding features common throughout the P2 HD Series, including superior reliability, long record times, fast on-set workflow and compatibility with leading non-linear editing systems. P2 HD equipment also can reduce both total costs and production time.

The AJ-HPX3000 is the industry’s first native 1080p one-piece camcorder that delivers master quality video and features needed for shooting network television programs to commercials to music videos, movies and documentaries.
