The AG-HPX300 is world's
first affordable full 10-bit, 4:2:2 professional HD camcorder. With
17x interchangeable lens, three 1/3" 2.2-megapixel 3-MOS imagers
and full 1920x1080, 10-bit 4:2:2 AVC-Intra recording, the HPX300
brings true master-quality HD recording within your reach -- all
with the benefit of P2's faster, independent frame, file-based
workflow.
In a field of its own, the
HPX300 delivers impressive, high-resolution recording using
AVC-Intra and industry-standard DVCPRO HD, but also supports
standard definition recording in DVCPRO50, DVCPRO and DV formats
for complete flexibility. The multi-format camcorder also offers
native 24p (23.98 fps), making it an affordable digital cinema
solution for indie film production. Its newly designed 3-MOS imager
utilizes a redesigned optical block, high-precision prism bonding
and a new 20-bit digital signal processor (DSP) to provide
exceptional image quality while minimizing any flare and chromatic
aberration. Its high resolution LCOS color viewfinder
(1,226,000-dot) and 3.2-inch LCD color monitor (921,000-dot)
provide clear image reproduction even when shooting in bright
outdoor areas.
The HPX300 offers a broad
range of creative features including variable frame rates, six
advanced gamma functions, Chromatic Aberration Compensation (CAC),
built-in scan reverse, Dynamic Range Stretch (DRS) function,
waveform and vector scope display and focus assist
tools.
