Supporting 32 HD/SD video recording formats, the AG-HPX500
series meets professional needs in news acquisition and in the
production of TV programming, independent films and other

AG-HPX500 series uses the DVCPRO HD codec, with its proven
track record in higher end production applications. For SD

P2 cards, you can record up to 256 minutes of HD recording
(1080/60i or 720/60p, 4 cards x 64 minutes = 256) or 512 minutes of
SD (DVCPRO 50) recording (4 cards x 128 minutes = 512).

The AG-HPX500 series can record full 48-kHz/16 bit digital audio on
all four channels. You can freely select the audio source for each
