HVX200 and 960×720

My mistake. The 50 mbit version also drops to 4:2:0 doesn’t it. I know Panny claims that it is equivalent to 100 mbit DVCPro, so if I understand it correctly, it is 1280 X 1080 at 4:2:2 Vs 1440 X 1080 at 4:2:0. I know there’s a lot more to how the codec’s work than just these numbers, so I’m sure it’s still a bit of apples and oranges, but have you seen the two side by side? Have you had a chance to really analyze the 100 mbit AVC version. I saw your recent post regarding the 200, 2000, and 3000 which I found very interesting. I’m really hoping someone will post results comparing the 3000 and the F23 both at their full bit rates.

I haven’t seen 50-megabit at all. I’ve seen some 100-megabit footage and it looks flawless. But I haven’t had a chance to really put it under a microscope.

Tell me this newer codec will be a firmware update for the HVX-200???

No, it reqires a new board. Last I heard, they were not going to offer it in the 200. Jan??

Definitely not; the AVC board is its own microcomputer and costs something like $3,000. It wouldn’t fit in a 200 no matter how hard you squeezed. 🙂

So, just so I understand, there will be no upgrade path to the AVC for people who own the HVX-200?

Correct. No upgrade path for HVX200 or HPX500 owners.
