New High-end 1920 x 1080 HPX3000 P2 Camcorder
Saw this excerpt on the Studio Daily;
Quote: Walker’s presentation was short on details, but here’s a cribsheet on what to expect from the HPX3000.
* 2 million pixel progressive image block
* Using the AVC-Intra codec, get a 10-bit image at full 1920×1080 resolution, not 1440×1080
* Camera will be less than $50,000
* 32 GB P2 cards will be “about $1000” at year’s end
* Because NLE support won’t be ready at the camera’s launch, Panasonic will provide tools that will decode 1920×1080 content and send it out via HD-SDI
* “By this time next year, there will be codec support in the edit packages … and we’re going to put that D-5 quality across FireWire.” …End QuotePeter
