  • Need P2, CCD, HD, Genlock/Smpte, & 4;2.2 in a Camcorder

    Posted by Sherwood Ball on October 13, 2011 at 8:42 am

    CCD’s because I need to shoot action variety show with whip pans
    plus Green Screen.

    Anyone have any suggestions for a small compact camera
    that can do the above?

    Need to buy two, plus a few INdieCams.

    Thnx.

    If you ask on this forum, we will tell you the HPX-250 (AVC-Intra) or 170. In todays age, you are going to have to forget about the CCD vs CMOS. You always have the option of connecting a device such as the KiPro or KiPro Mini via HD-SDI if you want 10 bit ProRes for green screen.

    If you need 4.2.2 and timecode you can take the AG-HPX250 which uses Intraframe compression at 100 Mbit/sec; the AVCHG model HPX160 supports up to 4.2.0 unless you take the SDI output to an external recorder like the Samurai. No CCD however; but i.m.o the most recent generation of CMOS sensors is better.
