Description

The Panasonic AG-HPX250 P2 HD Handheld Camcorder is the first handheld professional camcorder to record the extremely high-quality AVC-Intra 100 Mb/s (10-bit 4:2:2) codec. Featuring an integrated 22x zoom lens and a 2.2 Mp 1/3"-type 3MOS imager, the versatile HPX250 records not only AVC-Intra but also several flavors of DVCPRO (including DVCPRO HD) as well as DV. A variety of frame rates are possible in DVCPRO modes, for native slow- and fast-motion effects.

For video that will later endure heavy processing in the form of effects and other processes, the intra-frame compression options of the HPX250 are crucial. The AVC-Intra 100 codec is a perfect choice for any projects that involve tasks such as green screen shooting. The HPX250 could thrive as the second camcorder on an independent feature production or as the go-to model for a freelance videographer who does a variety of jobs, from SD to HD - and with support for PAL/NTSC signal systems, it will cross oceans without missing a beat. Its compact size makes it hard to leave at home.

For rock-solid reliability, professional P2 cards provide more peace of mind than their SD brethren from the world of mass-market consumer electronics. With two slots, you can record either simultaneously (for creating an instant back-up) or sequentially, with hot-swap support.

Features

	Panasonic Optical Technology: The HPX250's high-performance 22x zoom lens was designed specifically for professional HD video production. Sharing the wide-angle capability found in the DVX & HVX series, the lens offers some additional telephoto capability for a 28-616mm (35mm equivalent) zoom range
	Manual Control Rings: Three manual rings - mechanical (cam-driven) zoom, focus and iris - allow you to operate as if you've got an interchangeable-lens camcorder, for fine, tactile control over the parameters of the captured image
	Optical Image Stabilization: To compensate for any shaking of the operator's hand, the HPX250 features an optical image stabilizer (OIS)
	High-Sensitivity, Low-Noise 3MOS Image Sensor: The 1/3-type 2.2 Mp 3MOS sensor features the same Ultra Luminance Technology (ULT) that's incorporated in Panasonic's shoulder-mount P2 HD broadcast camcorders
	20-Bit Digital Signal Processor: The AG-HP250's high-performance 20-bit DSP handles rendering processes such as gamma and detail-enhancement functions with uncommon precision
	Dynamic Range Stretch (DRS): The DRS function automatically suppresses blocked shadows and blown highlights in scenes that involve wildly varying contrast levels (such as indoor vs. outdoor elements in the same frame)
	Focus Assist Function: A convenient Focus Assist button expands the center of the LCD screen, allowing you to check for correct focus quickly & easily. A Focus Bar that indicates the focus level can be displayed on the LCD
	Scene File / User File: The HPX250 features a dial for "Set Scene," which allows you to choose an appropriate matrix of settings instantaneously. You can modified the 6 preset files if you'd like, 1 set of which can be stored internally in the camcorder and 4 more can be stored on an SD memory card
	Three-Position Gain Selector + Super Gain: The three-position Gain Selector contains Low, Medium and High settings. To each setting you can assign gain value of 0, +3, +6, +9, +12, +15 and +18 dB. Also, there are Super Gain settings of +24 and +30 dB
	Simplified Waveform & Vectorscope: The AJ-HPX250 has waveform and vectorscope display functions for analyzing a captured video signal on the LCD
	High-Quality 4-Channel Audio: The AG-APX250 records high-quality 16-bit audio on all four channels. Freely select the audio source for each channel, choosing from built-in mic, external mic and line in. Adjust the volume level for each channel
	Double-Slot P2 Card System: Not only can you record continuously on two P2 cards, but you can also choose Card Select mod and Hot-Swap Recording, in which the card in the stand-by slot can be exchanged while the camcorder is recording to the other card
	MXF File-Based Recording: File-based recording enables data transfers that are much faster than real time. Filed recorded to the HPX250's P2 cards have MXF wrappers, which are compatible with all major nonlinear editing systems
	Clip Thumbnail Display & Clip Editing: This lets you display a visual representation of the clip on the LCD, delete clips and confirm or edit metadata. You can delete the last clip with a single touch, also with a single button press & check the beginning & ending of most recently recorded clip
	Shot Market & Text Memo: When mounted to a PC using the downloadable P2 Viewer Windows application, the user can view only marked clips if desires. Text memos can be posted to any scene of a clip (up to 100 in all) for a digital version of "sticky" notes
	One-Clip Rec Mode: Record up to 99 cuts as a single file in One-Clip Rec mode. A text memo is automatically attached at each start-record point, making it easy to find desired cuts within the clip once you're in the edit suite working with a single, unified file
	Multi-Camera Synchronization: The AG-HPX250 features every capability you'd want for synchronizing more than one camera for multi-camera shoots: SMPTE time code generator/reader, time code input and output and genlock input
	Video Outputs: SDI, HDMI & More: SDI output includes embedded audio and supports Record Stop/Start linked backup recording with a Panasonic recorder equipped with HD-SDI input. When outputting SD-SDI down-converted from an HD source, Aspect Ratio Conversion mode can also be selected
	Low-Angle Shots: On the upper part of the handle grip you'll find both the Rec Start/Stop button and a lens zoom speed control (three speed levels). This assures easy, comfortable shooting at low angles
	LCD Monitor Mirror Mode: The LCD monitor's mirror mode is extremely convenient for shooting interviews
	Workflow Versatility: The Panasonic P2 family includes many decks and mobile storage units, providing a wealth of options for offloading, field editing and cutting back in the edit room
	White Balance Functions: The camera features two values (A/B) for white balance memory and one preset value. There's also an ATW (auto tracing white balance) function
	Zebra: Select any two zebra levels from 50% to 100% (in 1% steps)
	Y-GET Brightness Check: The camera's Y-GET function measures the brightness at the screen center and displays precise numerical data
	Tally Lamps: Tally lamps are provided on the front and rear of the HPX250
