Versatile Operating Style
Simple Solution
Using just an AG-HPX170 series and a
laptop computer (PC or Mac) you can
access each clip or transfer clips via USB
2.0 (PC) or ieee 1394 (Mac) without a
capturing process. By using the P2 gear
ag-hPg10, you can also copy files
between cards.
News Gathering
out in the field, the P2 store hard-disk
drive lets you use and re-use the same
P2 cards repeatedly. Back in the editing
room, connect the P2 store (or a P2
drive) directly to a NLE system. Mobile,
reliable and easy to use, the ag-hPX170
series is a perfect solution for the news
environment as it can get in places that
bigger cameras may not be allowed.

Programs for hdtv can be created in the
1080i or 720p format with the
ag-hPX170 series. recordings can be
output to a dvCPro hd vtr via the
ieee 1394 interface and added to the
existing hd production flow. When used
with the Focus enhancements Firestore,
virtually any event can be recorded due
to the extended recording time available.
the P2 gear ag-hPg10 can be used as
a backup recorder, or as a drive for
uploading to or downloading from a
nonlinear editor.
Film, Commercial and Video

Use the AG-HPX170 series as a main
camera on an independent film shoot, or
as a second camera on a variCam or
aJ-hdX900 hd production. the

formats so it can go wherever it's
needed. its size and flexibility make it
