a question in regards to the new AG-HVX200

[Jan Crittenden livingston]

[Jiri Vrozina] “how many minutes can one record(maximum) on P2 memory using true HD recording and DVCPRO50 recording???
In full 60 frame 720P or 1080i recording it uses about 1 GB per minute. In 720P/24 it is about 24/60ths of that. So on an 8 gB card, as an example, you would get 8 minutes of 1080i or 720P/60, but in 720P/24 you would have 20 minutes. In DVCPRO50 that same 8 GB card would get you 16 minutes of time.

Does this camera have true manual lens control??(like JVC-100)

No it is not an interchangeable lens, but I believe it will be a very high caliber lens and will have controls that will be competitive in the contrl arena. Plus it will have the added benefit of being able to auto-focus, when that seems like the necessary function.

And one more important question:Does is(or will)it use MEGAPIXEL block??”

Not sure what you mean. It is not a CMOS chip set at all, but rather CCD, but not sure if that is relative to the question. Sorry.

Best,

:Dan Achatz:”I think you mean to put 60 Minutes on a $4.00 tape. All the tape is recording is 1’s and 0’s.

Dan, while your assessment of them being all zeros and ones is correct,I think what Barry was trying to say is that unlike HDV, DVCPRO is frame independent. There is more compression going on in HDV in order to get the signal to a low enough data rate so that it can be written to a DV tape.

>So perhaps you could only put 10 minutes of HVX on a $4.00 tape.

Actually that would not be possible as it would take 16 record heads and a much larger tape transport and the tape itself would not be a ME tape, it would by virtue of the SMPTE standard have to be a Metal Particle tape. DVCPRO HD was engineered for High Definition Production from the ground up: 4:2:2, independent frame resolution and uncompressed audio as starters. It is not a MPEG2 algorithm but an extension of DV.

>How much are those P2 cards again?”

;-), If you look at them in the same way you do tape, this is an argument that will never be understood. Let’s just say that for a X amount you will never need to purchase acquisition tapes again, for as long as you own the camera. (Unless you decided to use the mini-DV tape drive)

Best regards,

Thanks for setting me staight on that…

As I sit knee deep in old mini-DV tapes that I’m sure have very important things stored on them. I sure wish I’d labled them…..

Thank You Jan for Your answers.
How many pixels in CCD would that camera block have??
Thanx-jiri

Same is regarding my DVCPRO50 and 25 tapes,they have been recycled at least 15 times.They are about US$15 per hour of DVCPRO storage.

What kind of pull-down 25fps could have?
25fps is 25fps.
