Chapter 5 Working with Panasonic P2 Cards 105
Panasonic AG-HVX200 Camcorder Compatibility
The Panasonic AG-HVX200 P2 camcorder supports a large number of SD and HD video
formats at various frame rates. The Panasonic AG-HVX200 camcorder can record on either
tape or P2 cards, but some formats can only be recorded on P2 cards.
The following tables show which formats are compatible with recent versions of
Final Cut Pro.
Panasonic AG-HVX200 (NTSC)
i = interlaced, p = progressive, A = advanced pull-down, N = native frame rate (without duplicate fields or frames),
DF = drop frame, NDF = non-drop frame, VFR = variable frame rate
1 - No pull-down removal is necessary; native frame rate is captured or ingested.
2 - Use Remove Advanced Pulldown command in Final Cut Pro or Cinema Tools after capture or ingest.
3 - Enable Advanced Pulldown Removal option during capture (tape) or ingest (P2).
4 - Use Frame Rate Converter (audio and timecode are removed).
For more information, see “Using the DVCPRO HD Frame Rate Converter” on page 51.
