Functions Comfortable operating functions, such as SmartUI, and a host of system functions are included in this compact, lightweight (approximately 2.8 kg (6.2 lb)) body. The Lightest 2/3-type Shoulder-type Model The AG-HPX600 is the lightest* in its class at approximately 2.8 kg (6.2 lb) for the main unit. This compact body provides superb mobility. It is also designed with excellent forward visibility. * As a 2/3-type shoulder-type HD camera recorder (as of August 2012). Low Power Consumption Power consumption for the main unit is only 18 W. This is a reduction of about 50% from our previous model, the AJ-HPX2100 (36 W for the main unit only, with LCD off), which was released in 2007. The AG-HPX600 consumes only 22 W even with the optional AG-YDX600G Video Encoder Board and optional AG-YA600G HD/SD SDI Input Board mounted. SmartUI - A New User Interface This newly designed user interface consists of an LCD and a variety of switches. A large number of functions, including Scene File settings, Audio Level settings, Audio IN/OUT selection, Time Code settings, and MON/HDMI Output Video settings, are easy to recognize and can be set with only a few steps each. Versatile Shooting Assist Functions • Focus Assist: Press the Focus Assist button to expand the center section of the viewfinder screen for easier focusing. • Scene Files: Select either of six preset files from the menu according to the shooting situation. The settings can also be stored onto an SD card. • Gain: There is a three-position gain selector with a maximum gain value of +18 dB. • User Buttons: Functions can be freely allocated to the three User buttons. • Shockless White Balance: A smooth transition occurs when switching White Balance modes. This is effective, for example, when moving from outdoors to indoors. • WFM: Simplified waveform and vectorscope display. • Zebra: Select any two levels from among 50% to 109%, in 1% steps. • Mode check: Displays a list of the camera settings. • Y-GET: Measures brightness at center and displays numerical data. • Auto White Balance with an auto tracking white function. • User files can be saved to an SD card and shared with other cameras. • Audio input level adjustment (front) can be switched on/off and allocated to desired channels.

Camera Remote System Compatibility • 10-pin Remote Terminal: Camera remote operation is enabled with the optional AG-EC4G Extension Remote Control Unit or AJ-RC10G Remote Control Unit.* • Camera Studio System: The optional camera extension system (AG-CA300G Camera Adaptor and AG-BS300 Base Station) support low-cost studio integration. * Only functions that are supported by the AG-HPX600 can be controlled. HD SDI IN/OUT, HDMI OUT • SDI OUT (IN): It outputs SDI with embedded audio. Backup recording operation can be interlinked with the Rec Start/Stop controls of an SDI input-equipped Panasonic recorder, such as the AG-HPD24. Adding the optional AG-YA600G HD/SD SDI Input Board makes it possible to switch SDI input with this terminal, for line recording. • HDMI OUT: This terminal allows digital A/V output to a wide range of devices with both professional and consumer specifications. • MON OUT: This terminal outputs separate from the SDI OUT terminal. It can also be set to output HD SDI, down-converted SD SDI, or VBS. • Aspect conversion: The aspect ratio can be selected to Side Crop, Letter Box, or Squeeze mode when down-converting and outputting from SDI OUT/MON OUT terminals. Other Interfaces • TC IN/OUT: A built-in SMPTE time code generator/reader. IN/OUT selectable by menu settings. • GENLOCK IN: For synchronized recording with a multi-camera system. • USB 2.0: Equipped with both HOST (for connection to an HDD) and DEVICE (for connection to a PC/Mac) terminals. • UniSlot® compatible wireless receiver slot (2 channels). • XLR audio input: 2-channel mic/line inputs supporting 48V phantom power supply. • Audio output terminals (pin jacks), 2 channels. • Multiple battery support, including Anton Bauer. * UniSlot® is a trademark of Ikegami Tsusinki Co., Ltd.
