The AG-HVX201AE P2miniCam combines a progressive native 16:9 HD 3CCD imaging system with a HD quality Leica Dicomar wide-angle zoom lens in a camera-recorder. This new DVCPRO HD Camera Recorder P2miniCam provides 1080i/720p HD recording with the production-proven image quality of DVCPRO HD compression (video bit rate: 100 Mbps).

The DVCPRO HD codec uses optimal intraframe compression, each frame stands on its own.

Also able to record Standard Definition in the DVCPRO50, DVCPRO and DV formats, the AG-HVX201AE supports image creation from the entire DVCPRO family of equipment straight into the IT enviroment. The standards for 1080 and 576 signals support 50i and 25p and for the 720 standard P2minicam supports 25 and 50 in progressive mode.

The AG-HVX201AE's variable frame rate function responds to both slow and quick action. Its true 25p/50p progressive video, cine-like gamma curves and cinelike colour matrix capture images and scenes with the same look and feel as footage from a film camera.
