DSP with 14-Bit A/D Conversion and 19-Bit Processing

the digital signal processor

developed for the ag-hPX170

series's 1080/60p video signals

uses 14-bit a/d conversion and

19-bit inner processing to

attain unprecedented accuracy.

While the camera does not

record 1080/60p, it is from this

capture that all other signals

are made. the dSP performs a

variety of adjustments,

including eight types of gamma settings, for each of the r, g and

B channels. it also converts the signals to hd or Sd format. With

a performance equivalent to the processors used in many

higher-end hd cameras, this dSP delivers beautiful images in all

video formats.

Dynamic Range Stretch (DRS)

in scenes with mixed contrast, such as when panning from

indoors to outdoors, the drS function automatically suppresses

blocked shadows and blown highlights. a gamma curve and

knee slope is estimated to match the contrast of each pixel, and

applied in real time. When dark, bright, and intermediate shades

are all contained in the same scene, this produces excellent

gradation for each shade and minimizes blocked shadows and

blown highlights. the images that result are enhanced by a

visually wide dynamic range.

7-Mode Gamma for Richer Gradation

drawing on technologies developed for the variCam, Panasonic

has equipped the ag-hPX170 series with advanced gamma

functions that address eight different shooting scenarios and

enhance your creative abilities. This includes the Cine-Like

gamma, which produces the characteristic warm tone of film

video gaMMa

recordings.
