Panasonic AG-HVX200A manual XLR Audio Inputs, Audio Dials and Flexible Input Selection

XLR External Microphone Inputs and Manual Adjustment

Capability Meets Professional Audio Needs

XLR Audio Inputs

In addition to the built-in stereo microphone, the AG-HVX200A is equipped with two XLR audio input terminals with 48-V phantom power for professional use. Both input 1 and input

2 can be switched between line and mic levels. In DV mode, Audio is locked to the video signal unlike consumer DV Camcorders.

Audio Dials and Flexible Input Selection

The AG-HVX200A has the same kind of level-adjustment dials as DVCPRO camcorders. This practical design incorporates professional operating features that have been refined over years of use on location. A switch lets

you select built-in mic, input 1, or input 2 for the audio input of both channel-1 and channel-2. Auto level control can be turned on or off.

Ergonomic Design Throughout –

Including the Viewfinder, Monitor and Handgrip

Large Electronic Viewfinder

The large viewfinder makes it easy to view content, even with your eye at a slight distance, and it tilts upward 90 degrees for easy low-angle shots. The AG-HVX200A also has a detail (PEAKING) function.

3.5" Color LCD Monitor

The large, bright LCD monitor opens all the way to 120 degrees and swivels freely within a range of 270 degrees. This makes it easy to shoot from a variety of angles and view the image comfortably.

In 16:9 wide-screen mode, the AG-HVX200A can display images in letterbox format.

Trigger and Zoom Control on Upper Handle Grip

In addition to the lens grip, the upper part of the handle grip contains both the Rec Start/Stop button and a lens zoom control. This design assures easy shooting even at low angles or when using a tripod. The zoom speed can be set to any of three speed levels or off.

Magnesium Alloy Chassis

The AG-HVX200A has the same magnesium alloy diecast chassis as our DVCPRO broadcast models. This ultra-tough, ruggedly built camcorder protects the precision parts within, giving the AG-HVX200A outstanding reliability and durability. Built for professionals, the AG-HVX200A stands up to the bumps and jolts that may occur in the field.
