Interfaces Perfect for a Host of Applications Enhanced Interfaces for Professional Uses On-site Recording and Monitoring Convenient Recording Functions •Interval REC You can make automatic, intermittent recordings at set intervals from one frame per second to one frame every two minutes. For example, use Interval REC to record operations at a construction site, to shoot sunsets, or to capture time-lapse recordings of growing plants. *The maximum recording interval is 24 hours. •Time stamp You can insert time and date information into the video signal. This could be convenient, for example, when observing animals over an extended period, in certain academic uses, in surveillance, court reporting, legal depositions or law enforcement applications. *Only for motion images. Wide Range of Settings Slow Shutter and Synchro Scan Functions The slow shutter function uses image accumulation to allow shutter speeds with frame rates reduced by half or more. The accumulation method provides bright-color images with less noise than those captured using conventional gain-up, so you get the higher sensitivity needed for nighttime shooting without illumination. And the Synchro Scan function is ideal for capturing images on monitors. One-touch Operation of Key Functions Three User Buttons The AG-HMC40 lets you assign any three of the following 14 functions to the three User buttons for instant access. •INH •(PUSH) AF • • BLACKFADE WHITEFADE • • HIGH GAIN D.ZOOM • • LAST CLIP WFM •BACKLIGHT •ATW •EVF DTL •SPOTLIGHT •ATW LOCK •SHOT MARK Other Professional Features White balance: 2-value memory (channel A, channel B), 2-value preset (3200k, 5600k) and Auto Tracking White (ATW).

Smooth zoom stop: Use the menu to select standard or smooth zoom stopping. 08 Professional Audio Quality Detachable XLR adapter (option) The AG-HMC40 comes equipped with a built-in stereo microphone and a 3.5mm EXT, mic-in jack. Adding the optional AG-MYA30G XLR adapter provides compatibility with professional-use XLR terminals for audio output from microphones and Public Audio (PA) systems in studios and auditoriums. Line recording and +48V Phantom powered microphone recordings are possible from the XLR terminals. Featuring two XLR audio input terminals and level controls, the adapter lets you independently switch ch 1 or ch 2 to microphone or line input, with each having its own level adjustment. (Input 2 can be assigned to both ch 1 and ch 2.) SD Down-conversion Output Recording or Playback Images The AG-HMC40 is equipped with both component (Mini D4) video outputs and AV output (AV multi terminals), allowing HD images to be down-converted and output as SD images while they are being recorded or played. At the same time, a 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratio can be selected for side crop, letterbox, or squeeze images. Audio output (AV multi terminals 2 channels) enables a wide variety of applications, such as viewing on an external monitor or SD dubbing. Side crop Letterbox Squeeze Monitor Connection HDMI Output Terminal The AG-HMC40 is equipped with an HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) output terminal for digital transferring of high-quality HD video and audio signals. *The AG-HMC40 cannot output HDMI, component and composite signals at the same time. Also, a separately purchased cable may be required for connecting the AG-HMC40 to a professional monitor. PC Connection via USB 2.0 (Type mini B) The standard USB terminal (Type mini B) allows the AG-HMC40 to connect to a Windows PC/Mac in device mode. This lets a Windows PC/Mac installed with the provided AVCCAM Viewer software to upload, copy, and write HD video files, as well as transfer them to AVCHD-compatible editing software for HD production.
