    What is the difference in these formats

    Posted by Sean Tatalovich on January 22, 2009 at 8:00 pm

    I was looking at the Panasonic AG-HVX200A and regarding recording format it says following:

    Two 32GB P2 cards installed it can record up to 64 minutes in other full frame DVCPRO HD formats, 128 minutes in DVCPRO50, 256 minutes in DVCPRO.

    What is DVCPRO50 compared to DVCPRO HD? I will shooting HD with it.

    DVCPRO50 is a Standard Definition format with 4:2:2 color sampling.

    2 32 GB cards will shoot 170 Minutes in 720P/24PN which is in my opinion the most economical HD option in terms of image quality to Data size. I wouldn’t recommend shooting any format smaller than this otherwise you are not taking advantage of the features of this camera.
