Chapter 6 Working With Panasonic P2 Media 103
Panasonic AG-HVX200 Camcorder Compatibility
The Panasonic AG-HVX200 P2 camcorder supports a large number of standard and high
definition video formats at various frame rates. The AG-HVX200 can record on either tape
or P2 cards, but some formats can only be recorded on P2 cards. The following table
shows which formats are compatible with recent versions of Final Cut Pro.
AG-HVX200 (NTSC)
i = interlaced, p = progressive, A = advanced pulldown, N = native frame rate (without duplicate fields or frames),
DF = drop frame, NDF = non-drop frame, VFR = variable frame rate
1 - No pulldown removal is necessary; native frame rate is captured or ingested.
2 - Use Remove Advanced Pulldown command in Final Cut Pro or Cinema Tools after capture or ingest.
3 - Enable Advanced Pulldown Removal option during capture (tape) or ingest (P2).
4 - Use Frame Rate Converter plug-in (audio and timecode are removed).
5 - Basic editing is supported, but rendering in a sequence is not supported. For more information, go to
