Performance The high-sensitivity MOS sensor and AVC-Intra codec enable high-quality, Full-HD 10 bit 4:2:2* recording. * Using the AVC-Intra100 codec. 2/3-type Interchangeable Lenses The 2/3-type bayonet mount interchangeable lens system lets you choose from a variety of 2/3-type zoom lenses for broadcasting and other professional uses from third-party manufacturers. Select the lens type and performance level that meet your needs. New, High-Sensitivity F12 MOS Sensor A newly developed 2/3-type MOS sensor offers levels of F12 sensitivity (at 59.94 Hz)* and low noise with an S/N of 59 dB (standard) that surpass many 2/3-type 3CCD cameras. High-speed scanning minimizes skewing distortion. * F13 sensitivity at 50 Hz Image of shooting with F12 sensitivity (AG-HPX600) Image of shooting with F8 sensitivity (equivalent to the naked eye) High-Quality Image Processing and Versatile Image Settings • CAC (Chromatic Aberration Compensation): When using a CAC compatible lens, the small amount of circumjacent chromatic aberration (circumjacent blur) that is not corrected by the lens is compensated by this process. • DRS (Dynamic Range Stretch): Suppresses blocked shadows and blown highlights to achieve a visually wide dynamic range. *The DRS function does not operate in 1080/25p, 1080/24p or 1080/30p mode. • Advanced Flash Band Compensation (FBC): High-precision flash band detection and compensation. • Gamma: Select from 7-mode (HD NORM/LOW/SD NORM/HIGH/B. PRESS/CINE-LIKE D/CINE-LIKE V) gamma curves. • Digital image settings: H Detail, V Detail, Detail Coring, Skin Tone Detail, Chroma Level, Chroma Phase, Color Temperature, Master Pedestal, Knee (LOW/MID/HIGH), Matrix (NORM1/NORM2/FLUO/CINE-LIKE). Professional Shooting Functions • Scan Reverse function for use with a cinema lens adaptor. • Digital Zoom function for 2x and 4x close-ups. • Variable Shutter Speed from 1/12 sec to 1/2000 sec plus Synchro Scan function. • Four-position (CLEAR, 1/4 ND, 1/16 ND, 1/64 ND) optical neutral density filter wheel. Standard-Equipped, High-Quality AVC-Intra Codecs This advanced system maintains intra-frame compression based on the new MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 moving picture compression technology. It records in AVC-Intra100 mode (1920 x 1080,*1 10 bit, 4:2:2) for images with full-pixel HD and full sampling, and AVC-Intra50 mode (1440 x 1080,*1 10 bit, 4:2:0) for high-quality images at a low bit rate and for low-cost operation. The AG-HPX600 will also support the new codec, AVC-ULTRA*2 in the future as a paid upgrade. *1: These figures are for 1080i/p mode. The AG-HPX600 also supports 720p mode. *2: Not all AVC-ULTRA formats will be supported. The 2/3-type bayonet mount interchangeable lens system HD/SD Multi-Format and Multi-Codec Recording • AVC Intra100/50: 1080/60i, 24pN, 30pN, 720/60p, 24pN, 30pN* • DVCPRO HD: 1080/60i, 24p, 24pA, 30p, 720/60p, 24p, 30p* • DVCPRO 50/DVCPRO/DV: 480/60i, 30p, 24p, 24pA* • 50 Hz mode: 1080/50i, 25p, 25pN, 720/50p, 25p, 25pN, 576/50i, 25p * 24p = 23.98p, 30p = 29.97p, 60p = 59.94p and 60i = 59.94i 48 kHz/16 bit, 4-Channel Digital Audio The AG-HPX600 can record full 48 kHz/16 bit digital audio on all four channels. You can freely select the audio source for each channel, choosing from mic-in, line-in and wireless receiver. P2 Card - Excellent Speed, Reliability, and Environmental Performance • Broadcast-use P2 card: Offers high reliability to withstand impacts, vibrations, and temperature changes. • Quick start: Lets you stand by with the power off, then start shooting immediately with no need for cueing. • Safety: Automatically records onto blank card sections and protects against accidental data overwriting. • Re-use: High durability and reliability allows years of repeated use. • Instant playback: Files can be played or transferred as soon as the thumbnail images are displayed. • Instant editing: No need for digitizing. P2 cards can be directly mounted on a PC*1 for instant editing with a nonlinear editor and highspeed data transfer*2 to a network server. *1: PCs must be installed with the P2 driver in order to mount P2 cards. For editing, PCs must be installed with P2-compatible editing software available from various companies. Read "Notes Regarding the Handling of P2 Files Using a PC" on the back page. *2: The maximum transfer speed is 1.2Gbps. when using the P2 cards. Transfer speed is subject to change depending on the system configuration. Versatile File-Based Recording Functions • Double Slot system: Two P2 card slots allow continuous recording, card select (recording slot selection), and hot-swap recording (replacing a card during recording). • One-Clip rec mode: Records up to 99 consecutive cuts as a single clip. • Loop rec:*1 Repeatedly re-records while maintaining a recording of the most recent, predetermined period. • Pre-rec:*1 Continuously stores footage prior to pressing Rec Start for recovery if desired. • Interval rec:*1 Automatically records intermittently based on a set interval and recording time. • One-shot rec:*1 A frame-shot recording function useful for producing animations. • Text Memo:*2 Up to 100 memos can be posted onto a clip as bookmarks. • Shot Marker:*2 Used to mark clips as OK, NG, etc. • Metadata: Data with information such as operator's name, shooting location, and text memos can be added via an SD Memory Card. *1: These functions cannot be used during optional Variable Frame Rate recording. *2: Shot marker and text memo cannot be used in loop rec, interval rec, or one-shot rec. 2
