Equipped with a new 1/3-inch progressive 3CCD system, the AG-HPX171E delivers a substantially improved signal-to-noise ratio and prevents smear. The camera offers a 20-step variable frame-rate function for overcrank/undercrank camera effects, a focus assist to support HD shooting, a waveform/vectorscope display function, and an HD/SD switchable output compatible with a wide variety of applications.

The AG-HPX171E’s newly developed optical x13 Leica Dicomar wide-angle lens is lighter and more compact than the acclaimed lens used for the AG-HVX201E series cameras. With a frontal lens diameter reduced to 53.2 mm from the 67 mm of conventional systems, and a class-leading 28-mm wide angle, the AG-HPX171E provides exceptional versatility without the need for additional conversion lenses.

The AG-HPX171E’s Dynamic Range Stretcher (DRS) function reduces blocked shadows and blown highlights in scenes that include both bright and dark objects, such as views of interiors shot from outside. Gradations across bright, halftone, and dark areas are maintained, and colour distortions are minimised, resulting in footage with an exceptionally wide dynamic range.

The variable frame-rate function, first introduced in Panasonic’s highly successful VariCam, gives the AG-HPX171E operator access to a rich palette of camera effects, and the focus-assist function for HD has been enhanced to provide a histogram, in addition to the centre zooming function and a new focusing bar display. A simplified waveform and vectorscope display of the image can be viewed on the LCD monitor.

Additional functions and specifications include a high-performance DSP with a 14-bit A/D and 19-bit process functions; seven-mode gamma parameters that produce rich gradations and cine-like images; broadcasting DVCPRO HD and multicodec recording; two P2 card slots; loop-rec, one-shot-rec and interval rec functions; and four channel PCM audio recording with XLR terminals.
