Using Mini DV Tape

In addition to its two P2 card slots, the AG-HVX200 is equipped with a mini DV tape drive. This allows recording in 60i, 30p, 24p or 24pA (Advance) modes, just like AG-DVX100 series models. It also lets you down-convert an HD source (1080i/720p) recorded on a P2 card and

copy it to a mini DV tape.
During copying, frame-rate
conversion is applied to
overcranked and
undercranked HD image
sources in 720p native mode.
This lets you create special
speed effects during DV
production – until now, a feat	720p	480/60i
possible only with a complete	Native mode	Conversion dubbing
VariCam system.
