Production Quality DVCPRO HD, DVCPRO50 and 

DVCPRO, and Multi-Codec Recording

the ag-hPX170 series records hd video with outstanding image 
and audio quality onto a P2 card with the dvCPro hd codec. 
this codec, thanks to a low compression ratio at a video bit rate 
of 100 Mbps (1080/50i, 720/50p) and the easy-to-edit intraframe 
compression system, is suitable for recording fast-moving 
subjects with no motion artifacts other than motion blur.  
the 4:2:2 sampling rate minimizes jaggies at chroma edges. 
Sound quality is excellent too, thanks to uncompressed 16-bit, 
4-channel digital audio recording capability.

 

the ag-hPX170 

series can record in 1080/25p or 720/25p hd, and it’s compatible 
with the Sd (576i)

 

format. the multi-codec system allows you to 

record in dvCPro hd, dvCPro50, dvCPro or dv.

capacity of up to 64 gB*

1

 (with the aJ-P2C064 to be released in 

autumn 2008), and about 4 times the data transfer speed of an 
SdhC Memory Card (Class 6). extremely light at approximately  
45 grams, it is very thin and resists impact up to 1,500 g and 
vibration up to 15 g. Some of its other solid-state memory 
features that make it ideal for news gathering include operation in 
temperatures from -20 to 60°C and storage from -40 to 80°C.  
av data is recorded in MXF files for direct transfer to nonlinear 
editors*

 without the need for digitizing.

*1: total card capacity includes space for data management such as system data; therefore, 
actual usable area is less than the capacity indicated on the card.  
*2: PCs must be installed with the included P2 driver in order to mount P2 cards.  
*3: For editing, PCs must be installed with P2-compatible editing software available from 
various companies. Read “Notes Regarding the Handling of P2 Files Using a PC” on the 
back page. 

Immediate Startup and Better Data Protection

When you press the record button in standby mode, the 
ag-hPX170 series instantly finds a blank area on the P2 card and 
begins recording. it can begin recording immediately even when 
you’re using it to preview video. in normal use, there is no chance 
of accidentally overwriting a recording. recordings will not be 
erased unless you intentionally delete a file or initialize the card.
