Overview (AG-AC130)
AG-AC130, which incorporate
high-sensitivity 1/3 type, full-HD 2.2 megapixel 3MOS imagers to
capture native 1920 x 1080 resolution images, with a new, wider
21X HD zoom lens.
Key new features include two SD card slots for relay or
simultaneous recording, compatibility with high-capacity SDXC
media, an enhanced viewfinder and LCD display, and DV recording.
The higher-end AC160 includes such top production features
including variable frame rate recording in 1080p, Linear PCM
audio, HD SDI output, and switchability between 59.94Hz/50Hz.
“These new AVCCAM handhelds offer the longer lensing that
customers have been clamouring for in a small form factor with
state-of-the art, high-bandwidth AVCCAM, Panasonic’s
implementation of MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 high-profile encoding,” said
Jan Crittenden Livingston, Product Manager, Panasonic Solutions
Company. “In addition, the AC160 adds the creative flexibility
of Full HD off-speed recording and an HD SDI out.”
The AVCCAM camera recorders’ Full HD resolution imager produces
stunning 1920 x 1080 or 1280 x 720 AVCHD video at high
sensitivity. Because the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 codec provides a
doubling of bandwidth efficiency and improved video performance
over the older MPEG-2 compression-based formats, recordings look
clean and crisp, even during fast motion, without image
degradation or dropouts. Utilising a 21X zoom lens with three
independent adjustable rings for zoom, focus and iris, these new
AVCCAM units offer a wide 28mm (35mm equivalent) viewing angle,
covering most shooting situations without the need for a
wide-angle conversion lens.
The AG-AC130 record video in four professional AVCCAM HD
recording modes, including the highest-quality PH mode (average
21 Mbps/Max 24Mbps), the HA mode (approx.17 Mbps), the extended
recording HE mode (approx. 6 Mbps) and a PM mode (less than 10
Mbps, 720p only), which is ideal for shooting sports training
and web video.
These latest AVCCAM camera recorders are among the first to
enjoy the benefits of advanced SDXC media card compatibility in
addition to existing SDHC card support. SDXC is the newest SD
memory card specification that supports memory capacities above
32GB and up to 2TB. With two SD slots for continuous recording,
the AC 130 can record up to 12 hours on two 64GB SDXC cards
in PH mode, with automatic clip spanning across the two cards.
The two slots can also be utilized for simultaneous recording.
At 50Hz, the camera recorders support the following HD formats
in PH mode: 1080/50i and 1080/25p, in 720/50p and 720/25p,; in
HA and HE modes, they record in 1080/50i; and in standard
definition DV, they record 576/50i and 576/25p. At 60Hz, the AC
160 also records in 1080/59.94i, 1080/29.97p, 1080/23.98pN,
720/59.94p, 720/29.97p, 720/23.98pN and in 480/59.94i,
480/29.97p, 480/23.98p.
The AC130 offers variable frame rate capability in 1080/23.98p,
29.97p and 25p, providing users the cinematic expression of
higher-end cameras which support undercranking / overcranking
for fast or slow-motion effects. The AC160/130 include such
desirable professional features as time code/UB recording;
time/date stamp; and two wired remote control terminals (for
zoom, focus, iris, REC start/stop controls). The camera
recorder’s lens system offers useful functions including Optical
Image Stabilizer (OIS) for smooth stable shooting and Dynamic
Range Stretch (DRS), which helps compensate for wide variations
in lighting.
Standard professional interfaces include an HD SDI output (AC
160 only), HDMI output (AVCHD only), USB 2.0 (mini B-type), IEEE
1394 output (DV only), and a built-in stereo microphone. The
camera recorders feature two locking XLR inputs with switches
for mic/line, two RCA audio outputs, and +48V Phantom Power
capability. The AC160 records two channels of LPCM audio in the
PH and DV modes, and Dolby Digital in all HD modes. The AC130
records two channels of Dolby Digital in all modes.
The AVCCAM handhelds offers useful solid-state recording
functions including pre-record, interval recording, shot marker
and metadata capture. Additional features include waveform and
vectorscope display, focus assists, auto focus with face
detection, white balance, mode display, zebra display, colour
bar, tally lamps, 4-position ND optical filter controls, slow
shutter and synchro-scan shutter functions, a multi-language
menu, and three programmable user buttons. A wireless remote is
also included.
For editing or playback, professionals can transfer content by
inserting the SD Card into Mac or PC computers or by connecting
the camera directly via its USB 2.0 interface. Panasonic
recently announced AVCCAM Importer software, a QuickTime plug-in
component that eliminates the need to convert AVCHD files to
ProRES422 files before editing in Final Cut Pro that will be
available this summer as a free download from the company’s web
site.
For easy HD viewing, the camera recorders are equipped with a
widescreen 1,226,000-pixels LCOS colour viewfinder and a
widescreen 921,000 pixels 8.8cm (3.45 inches) LCD colour
monitor. Weighing approx. 2.3kg (5.1lb), the AC160/130 offer a
well-balanced, ergonomic design. |
