Newly Developed
2.2-Megapixel Image Sensor Newly Developed 2.2-Megapixel
Image Sensor The AG-HPX301 boasts the 3 Full HD MOS image sensors for RGB. They
are 1/3-inch, 2.2-megapixel (1920 x 1080) image sensors which is capable of
acquiring full-HD images. This new sensor and Newly designed signal process LSI
is the key technology behind the AG-HPX301’s superior picture quality. It also
helps make possible the compact size, light weight and low power consumption
that distinguish the AG-HPX301.
Fujinon
HD 17x Zoom Lens The AG-HPX301 comes equipped with a Fujinon
1/3-inch 17x zoom lens.
Optimized for use with the AG-HPX301, this high-performance HD lens incorporates
advanced broadcast lens technologies to achieve a compact size, light weight,
4.5 mm f-value at the wide end, and excellent zoom response. The zoom is
comfortable to grip and use. Also, quick zoom and autocruising zoom functions
can be allocated to the VTR and RET switches.
Chromatic Aberration Compensation (CAC)
This exclusive technology
sets up a conversation between lens and camera which
allows for a highly sophisticated algorithm to be
deployed that will automatically compensate the
registration error that is caused mainly by lens
chromatic aberration, and minimize the circumjacent
blur.
Newly Developed 20 bit
Digital Signal Processor The AG-HPX301
incorporates a high-performance 20 bit DSP that handles
image rendering processes such as gamma and various
detail enhancement functions with exceptional precision.
Consuming less power than conventional processors, the
new DSP contributes to the AG-HPX301’s outstanding
environmental performance.
Slow, Synchro and
High-Speed Shutter
The
shutter speed can be set between
1/6.25 second on the slow end in
50Hz mode (1/6 second in 59.94Hz
mode) and 1/2000 second on the
fast end. Used with the variable
frame rate function, this allows
you to create a blurring effect
or crystal-clear stop-motion of
sports action. The AG-HPX301
also features a synchro scan
function for capturing screen
shots from a computer monitor.

An AVC-Intra codec board is included as standard equipment. It allows recording in either of two modes: AVC-Intra 100, for full-pixel HD (1920 x 1080 and 1280 x 720) images, or AVC-Intra 50 for low-bit-rate, low-cost operation. AVC-Intra is a new codec that further advances HD production. It complies with the MPEG-4 AVC/ H.264 international standard based on advanced image compression technology, and offers both superb image quality and highly efficient compression. It uses an intra-frame compression system to bring important advantages to professional editing. In the AG-HPX301, a new single-chip digital signal processor is integrated with the AVC-Intra codec circuit. This is another way the AG-HPX301 cuts power consumption.
High-Image-Quality AVC-Intra 100 Mode
With the same bit rate as DVCPRO HD, this mode supports full 10 bit recordings with 1920 x 1080 pixels. It enables the AG-HPX301 to capture master-quality video for high-end video production. Low-Bit-Rate AVC-Intra 50 Mode
This mode delivers video quality very similar to DVCPRO HD, yet is able to do so at bit rates usually associated with standard definition (e.g., DVCPRO 50). AVC-Intra 50's lower bit rate doubles the recording time per P2 card over DVCPRO HD and lowers storage requirements for editing. HD Multi-Format Capability, Including Native 24p
The AVC-Intra 100 and 50 codecs let you record in a choice of HD video formats: 1080/25p, 1080/50i, 1080/23.98p or 29.97p as well as 1080/59.94i. These HD formats bring extra flexibility to all of your production needs. The AG-HPX301 also supports 720p recording for HD image production in a variety of formats, including 50p and 59.94p.
