AVCHD Files Transfer Directly to IT Systems Unlike tape, AVCHD files require no digitizing and can be directly accessed by a PC (Windows/Macintosh). This makes it easier to use motion images in new IT applications, like content production, Internet distribution and source material archiving. *1: An SDHC Memory Card reader is required if the SDHC Memory Card is not recognized by the PC. *2: AVCHD-compatible software is required. The minimum system requirements for using the software must also be satisfied. USB 2.0 AG-HMC150 PC (Win/Mac) SD/SDHC Memory Card Nonlinear Editing System DVD Production Web Image Load Data to a PC or Write It to a Blu-ray Disc with AVCCAM Viewer (Download it for Free) USB 2.0 AG-HMC150 Windows (AVCCAM Viewer) USB 2.0 SD/SDHC SDHC Memory Card Card Reader BDMV (BD-Video) AVCCAM Viewer for Windows PCs makes it easy to preview AVCCAM files and other AVCHD motion images and meta-data, with very simple operation. Files can be played from an SD Memory Card, Blu-ray Disc, or hard disk, and saved to a PC (hard disk) from an SD Memory Card or Blu-ray Disc. Files can also be copied or deleted, meta-data can be displayed, and data can be written to an SD Memory Card or Blu-ray Disc. AVCCAM Restorer software can also be used to restore files that were damaged, for example, by a power interruption during recording. [PC Minimum System Requirements] • CPU: Intel® Core™ Duo or better (2.16 GHz or better is recommended) • OS: Microsoft® Windows Vista® Business, Windows® XP SP2 or later (Macintosh not supported) • RAM: 1024 MB or more for Windows Vista, 512 MB or more for Windows XP (1024 MB or more recommended) *Do not insert a disc [DVD (AVCHD)] produced with the provided HD Writer 2.5E software into a device that does not support the AVCHD standard. If it is inserted into such a device, the disc may not eject. Also, do not play the disc with a device that does not support the AVCHD standard. AVCHD Nonlinear Editing AVCHD files can be transferred at high speed by using the USB 2.0 interface to connect the AG-HMC150 or an SDHC Memory Card reader to a Windows or Macintosh computer. This dramatically improves productivity when compared with the time-consuming task of digitizing. *Correct operation should be possible with a nonlinear editor that has been confirmed for compatibility with a Panasonic HDC-SD9 camcorder, for data recorded using the same HA, HG, and HE recording modes as on consumer AVCHD equipment. Collaboration to confirm compatibility with the new PH mode is now under way with Adobe, Apple, GrassValley, and other partner companies. Simultaneous with the shipping of the AG-HMC150, Panasonic is also making new AVCHD transcoder software available for free downloading on the following web site. This software is expected to be compatible with the PH mode and meta-data extension. This will enable the use of existing editing software which already supported DVCPROHD P2.
