Production Quality DVCPRO HD, DVCPRO50 and

DVCPRO, and Multi-Codec Recording

the ag-hPX170 series records hd video with outstanding image

and audio quality onto a P2 card with the dvCPro hd codec.

this codec, thanks to a low compression ratio at a video bit rate

of 100 Mbps (1080/50i, 720/50p) and the easy-to-edit intraframe

compression system, is suitable for recording fast-moving

subjects with no motion artifacts other than motion blur.

the 4:2:2 sampling rate minimizes jaggies at chroma edges.

Sound quality is excellent too, thanks to uncompressed 16-bit,

4-channel digital audio recording capability. the ag-hPX170

series can record in 1080/25p or 720/25p hd, and it's compatible

with the Sd (576i) format. the multi-codec system allows you to

record in dvCPro hd, dvCPro50, dvCPro or dv.

*P2 Card of 64gB to be released in autumn 2008.

Large-Capacity P2 Cards — Compact, Speedy and Reliable

the P2 card is an av media for professional use. it features a large

capacity of up to 64 gB*

(with the aJ-P2C064 to be released in

autumn 2008), and about 4 times the data transfer speed of an

SdhC Memory Card (Class 6). extremely light at approximately

45 grams, it is very thin and resists impact up to 1,500 g and

vibration up to 15 g. Some of its other solid-state memory

features that make it ideal for news gathering include operation in

temperatures from -20 to 60°C and storage from -40 to 80°C.

av data is recorded in MXF files for direct transfer to nonlinear

editors*

or networks*

without the need for digitizing.

*1: total card capacity includes space for data management such as system data; therefore,

actual usable area is less than the capacity indicated on the card.

*2: PCs must be installed with the included P2 driver in order to mount P2 cards.

*3: 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.

Immediate Startup and Better Data Protection

When you press the record button in standby mode, the

ag-hPX170 series instantly finds a blank area on the P2 card and

begins recording. it can begin recording immediately even when

you're using it to preview video. in normal use, there is no chance

of accidentally overwriting a recording. recordings will not be

erased unless you intentionally delete a file or initialize the card.
