Performance
the high-sensitivity MoS sensor and AVc-intra codec enable
high-quality, full-HD 10 bit 4:2:2* recording.
* Using the AVC-Intra100 codec.
2/3-type Interchangeable Lenses
The 2/3-type bayonet mount interchangeable lens system lets you choose
from a variety of 2/3-type zoom lenses for broadcasting and other
professional uses from third-party manufacturers. Select the lens type
and performance level that meet your needs.
New, High-Sensitivity F12 MOS Sensor
The newly developed 2/3-type MOS sensor allows you to select two
modes: the NORMAL mode offering ultra low noise, and the LOW LIGHT
mode offering high sensitivity levels of F12 at 59.94 Hz (F13 at 50 Hz).
High-Quality Image Processing and
Versatile Image Settings
•
CAC (Chromatic Aberration Compensation):
When using a CAC
compatible lens, the small amount of circumjacent chromatic aberration
(circumjacent blur) that is not corrected by the lens is compensated by
this process.
•
DRS (Dynamic Range Stretch):
Suppresses blocked shadows and
blown highlights to achieve a visually wide dynamic range.
*The DRS function does not operate in 1080/25p, 1080/24p or 1080/30p mode.
•
Advanced Flash Band Compensation (FBC):
High-precision flash band
detection and compensation.
•
Gamma:
Select from 7 mode (HD NORM/LOW/SD NORM/HIGH/B.
PRESS/CINE-LIKE D/CINE-LIKE V) gamma curves.
•
Digital image settings:
H Detail, V Detail, Detail Coring, Skin Tone
Detail, Chroma Level, Chroma Phase, Color Temperature, Master Pedestal,
Knee (LOW/MID/HIGH), Matrix (NORM1/NORM2/FLUO/CINE-LIKE).
Professional Shooting Functions
• Scan Reverse function for use with a cinema lens adapter.
• Digital Zoom function for 2x and 4x close-ups.
• Variable Shutter Speed from 1/12 sec to 1/2000 sec plus Synchro
Scan function.
• Four-position (CLEAR, 1/4 ND, 1/16 ND, 1/64 ND) optical neutral
density filter wheel.
Standard-Equipped, High-Quality AVC-Intra Codecs
This advanced system maintains
intra-frame compression based on
the new MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 moving picture compression technology.
It records in AVC-Intra100 mode (1920 x 1080,*
1
10 bit, 4:2:2) for images
with full-pixel HD and full sampling, and AVC-Intra50 mode
(1440 x 1080,*
1
10 bit, 4:2:0) for high-quality images at a low bit rate
and for low-cost operation. The AG-HPX600 will also support the new
codec, AVC-ULTRA*
2
in the future as a paid upgrade.
*1: These figures are for 1080i/p mode. The AG-HPX600 also supports 720p mode.
*2: Not all AVC-ULTRA formats will be supported.
HD/SD Multi-Format and Multi-Codec Recording
• AVC Intra100/50: 1080/60i, 24pN, 30pN, 720/60p, 24pN, 30pN*
• DVCPRO HD: 1080/60i, 24p, 24pA, 30p, 720/60p, 24p, 30p*
• DVCPRO 50/DVCPRO/DV: 480/60i, 30p, 24p, 24pA*
• 50 Hz mode: 1080/50i, 25p, 25pN, 720/50p, 25p, 25pN, 576/50i, 25p
* 24p = 23.98p, 30p = 29.97p, 60p = 59.94p and 60i = 59.94i
48 kHz/16 bit, 4 Channel Digital Audio
The AG-HPX600 can record full 48 kHz/16 bit digital audio on all four
channels. You can freely select the audio source for each channel,
choosing from mic-in, line-in and wireless receiver.
P2 Card/microP2 Card*

Offers high reliability to withstand
impacts, vibrations, and temperature changes.
•
Quick start:
Lets you stand by with the power off, then start shooting
immediately with no need for cueing.
•
Safety:
Automatically records onto blank card sections and protects
against accidental data overwriting.
•
Re-use:
High durability and reliability allows years of repeated use.
•
Instant playback:
Files can be played or transferred as soon as the
thumbnail images are displayed.
*1: Requires the optional AJ-P2AD1G Memory Card Adapter and microP2 Card Compatibility Upgrade of
the AG-HPX600 firmware, to use microP2 Card.
Versatile File-Based Recording Functions
• Double Slot system:
Two P2 card slots allow continuous recording,
card select (recording slot selection), and hot-swap recording (replacing a
card during recording).
• One-Clip rec mode:
Records up to 99 consecutive cuts as a single clip.
• Loop rec:*
1
Repeatedly re-records while maintaining a recording of the
most recent, predetermined period.
• Pre-rec:*
1
Continuously stores footage prior to pressing Rec Start for
recovery if desired.
• Interval rec:*
1
Automatically records intermittently based on a set
interval and recording time.
• One-shot rec:*
