Convenient Recording Functions
The slow shutter function uses image accumulation to allow shutter
speeds with frame rates reduced by half or more. The accumulation
method provides bright-color images with less noise than those captured
using conventional gain-up, so you get the higher sensitivity needed for
nighttime shooting without illumination. And the Synchro Scan function is
ideal for capturing images on monitors.
Wide Range of Settings
Slow Shutter and Synchro Scan Functions
The AG-HMC80 lets you assign any three of the following 14 functions to
the three User buttons for instant access.

Professional-level Audio
XLR Line/Microphone Input
The AG-HMC80 comes equipped with a built-in stereo
microphone and with XLR-type audio input terminals (2 channels,
mic/line switchable, 48V compatible) on the rear panel. You can
switch audio channels 1 and 2 separately to either line or front microphone
input, which is especially useful when recording interviews or narration.
Standard Definition Down-conversion Output
Recording or Playback Images
The AG-HMC80 is equipped with HDMI (High Definition Multimedia
Interface) output, component video outputs and composite output (BNC),
allowing HD images to be down-converted and output as Standard
Definition images while they are being recorded or played. At the same
time, a 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratio can be selected for Side crop, Letter box,
or Squeeze images. Audio output (RCA terminal) enables a wide variety of
applications, such as viewing on an external monitor or Standard Definition
dubbing.

Monitor Connection
HDMI Output Terminal
The AG-HMC80 is equipped with an HDMI output terminal for digital
transferring of high-quality HD video and audio signals.
PC Connection via
USB 2.0 (Type B)
The standard USB terminal (Type B) allows the AG-HMC80 to connect to
a Windows PC/Mac in device mode. This lets a Windows PC/Mac
installed with the provided AVCCAM Viewer software to upload, copy,
and write HD video files, as well as transfer them to AVCHD-compatible
editing software for HD production.
DV files can also be transferred via USB 2.0, when the camera recorder
is set in AVCHD mode.
The AG-HMC80 has an IEEE 1394-compliant
DV (6-pin) output terminal. Simply connect it to
an existing DV nonlinear editor for transmitting
its DV compression stream output.
*AVCHD mode only.
*In addition, an external microphone terminal (3.5mm stereo mini jack) is equipped.
