Professional Specs Including a New Design for Added Mobility and HD SDI Output

New, Stylish Design Also Boosts Mobility

Even with the high-powered zoom lens, the integrated camera and

recorder sections are compact and stylish. Shifting the handle grip

and LCD position forward (toward the lens) has improved the weight

balance and visibility for handheld shooting, enabling a comfortably

wide view. The magnesium alloy die cast chassis also excels in both

ruggedness and durability.

Low-Angle Shots and Interviews

• The upper part of the handle grip contains both the Rec Start/Stop

button and a lens zoom speed control (three speeds). This design

assures easy shooting even at low angles.

• The new LCD Monitor Mirror mode is convenient when shooting

self-contained interviews.

SDI (24PsF) Output and Auto Rec*

The AG-AC160A is equipped with an HD/SD SDI output terminal for

outputting HD signals, including 1080/24PsF, or down-converted SD

video signals (selectable from the menu). The terminal also supports

Auto Rec to enable backup recording in link with Rec Start/Stop

when a Panasonic recorder equipped with the same function, such

as the AG-HPD24, is used. Embedded audio is also supported.

*AG-AC130A does not have an SDI OUT terminal.
