Panasonic presents AG-HVX200: $5,995

[Graeme Nattress]

Just got back from the Apple event – P2 + tape. Tape for DV only – DV, DV50 and DV100 on P2. Variable frame rate like Varicam in 720p. $5,995, but didn’t say what came with it in terms of memory P2 chips. 2 P2 slots. Works in FCP5.

Jan,

But only for DV? or for DV50 and 100?

Thanks,
Harry.

Jan,

Is the signal being sent out the FireWire port the same signal being written to the P2 cards, or does the camera have to keep the 60p/i compatability through firewire?

Basically I’m wondering, if we go straight to a hard drive through firewire while shooting 720P/24, are we recording the 40mb/s 24P file, or are we getting a 100mb/s 60P with a pulldown file?

Hey Luis,

I assume the signal comming out of the firewire port is the same one being sent to the P2 cards. Firewire is just a pipe for data, it doesnt need to conform to any specifications that a tape format would. You can send any kind of data you want down that pipe and theres no reason for them to transfer a pulldown to the hard disk recorder (unless ofcourse there was a manual option to turn this on- which wouldnt make much sense to me)

[Barry Green]

Likely any streaming out the firewire port will be the full 100-megabit signal. That streaming would need to be compatible with existing streaming firewire capture devices, such as the AJ-1200HD deck, and FCP-HD and Avid Express HD.

Perhaps an external hard disk recorder would be designed with the “smarts” to drop the flagged frames, but that remains to be seen.
