Panasonic announced today that its new AG-HPX600 P2 HD
shoulder-mount camcorder with 10-bit, 4:2:2 AVC-Intra recording
will deliver this month at a suggested list price of $14,950.
The AG-HPX600 combines high cost-performance, easy operation,
breakthrough expandability and a future- proof design to meet needs
in a wide range of uses, from image production to broadcasting and
sports. A 2/3-type shoulder-type model, it accommodates a variety
of interchangeable lenses. The camcorder’s compact body provides
superb mobility with the industry’s lowest weight* of approximately
6.2 lb for the main unit, along with low power consumption of
18W.
“With its ultra-light weight and low power consumption, the
HPX600 is the first shoulder mount that’s easy on the shoulder
while being super-efficient on battery usage,” said Steve
Cooperman, Product Manager, Panasonic System Communications Company
of North America. “With its innovative design and selectable
options, the HPX600 can control key camera functions wirelessly
from a smart phone.”
Featuring a newly-developed MOS sensor, this future-proof camera
will provide inventive functionality and improved workflows, with
options such as wireless metadata input, proxy recording and
variable frame rates available upon delivery; AVC-ULTRA and microP2
card upgradability are planned. When available within 2013,
AVC-ULTRA will offer master-quality and/or low-bit-rate 10-bit,
4:2:2 recording in Full HD to meet a variety of user needs from
mastering to transmission (the AG-HPX600 will not support all
AVC-ULTRA formats).
The HPX600 also features wireless and wired connection ability
with Wi-Fi, USB and Gigabit Ethernet. In addition, an option will
support LiveU for video uplink with real time indication of LiveU’s
transmission status and video transmission quality to camera
operator.
Ideal for news, sports or live events, the HPX600 can record in
AVC-Intra100/50, DVCPRO HD, DVCPRO50, DVCPRO and DV, and the unit
is 50 Hz and 59.94 Hz switchable for worldwide use. The
interchangeable lens camcorder will be equipped with Chromatic
Aberration Compensation (CAC) to maximize lens performance; Dynamic
Range Stretch (DRS) function to help compensate for wide variations
in lighting; and a highly accurate flash band detection and
compensation algorithm that minimizes this effect. The HPX600
delivers seven-mode gamma selection and extensive digital image
settings; there are two P2 card slots and an SD card slot.
Innovative features include a smart user interface that permits
accessibility to the camera’s extensive functions from an LCD
display on the side of the camera; a newly-designed (optional)
16:9, 3.45-inch, 920,000-dot resolution LCD color viewfinder, which
doubles as a LCD monitor when open; a simplified waveform and
vectorscope; a 10-pin remote terminal enabling remote camera
operation; and an optional camera studio system.
Standard features include Scan Reverse for use with a cinema
lens adaptor; Digital Zoom function for 2x and 4x close-ups;
Variable Shutter Speed from 1/12 to 1/2000 sec plus Synchro Scan;
and a four-position (CLEAR, 1/4 ND, 1/16 ND, 1/64 ND) optical
neutral density filter wheel. Professional interfaces include MON
out (can be set to output HD-SDI), HDMI out, HD/SD-SDI in/out**,
genlock in for multi-camera operation, timecode in/out, USB 2.0 and
a two-channel UniSlot compatible wireless receiver. The HPX600 has
two XLR audio inputs, and records up to four channels of 48kHz,
16-bit audio.
Available Options Facilitate Low-Cost System Support
- High-Resolution Proxy Video
(with the optional AG-YDX600G Video Encoder Board). With this
option, the AG-HPX600 records proxy files onto SD/SDHC memory cards
or onto P2 cards. It supports high-quality video (QuickTime/H.264)
and audio formats at a low bit rate. High-quality proxy files can
be used for breaking news and other scenarios benefitting from
proxy workflows. Moreover, this streamlines the production workflow
by allowing the editor to review the content details during offline
editing. The AG-YDX600G will be available this month at suggested
list price of $1,600.
- Streaming with a Wireless or Wired
LAN (with the optional AG-SFU601G Upgrade Software Key and
AJ-WM30 Wireless Module). These options enable use of a wireless or
wired (Ethernet) LAN. Proxy files*** can be streamed or viewed via
a standard web browser on a PC/Mac, tablet or smart phone. While
viewing the streamed files, metadata can be added to the P2 files.
Using a PC/Mac also enables a cloud-based workflow by uploading and
sharing video data via network. The AG-SFU601G will be available
this month at a suggested list price of $1,500.
- Variable Frame Rate Shooting and
24PsF Output (with the optional AG-SFU602G Production Package
Upgrade Software Key). In 720p mode, the frame rate can be set in
the range of 1 fps-60 fps, and in 1080p mode it can be set to 1
fps-30fps. Either 24p/30p Native mode or over 60p mode can be
selected for recording. In addition, the 24PsF format can be output
from SDI OUT for uncompressed data recording. The AG-SFU602G will
be available this month at suggested list price of $1,000.
- HD/SD-SDI Input Board -- The
AG-YA600G will be available this month at a suggested list price of
$1,950.
