AGMini-DV Camera-Recorder (NTSC) Mini Digital Video Cassette
The Image Quality, Mobility and Versatility that Professionals Need The AG-DVX100 shattered conventional notions of what a DV camera-recorder could do, delivering image quality, functions and operating ease suitable for professional applications. As the first model in its class to offer the 24p/30p Cinema mode, the AG-DVX100 was particularly well received by filmmakers and image creators. Now, Panasonic introduces the AG-DVX100A.

Ultimate Creativity Image quality that far exceeds anything in its class, plus an evolved 24p/30p progressive function High Image Quality with 12-Bit A/D Conversion The AG-DVX100A features an A/D converter that uses the same 12-bit processing as broadcast camera-recorders. Precisely digitizing the gradation and colors captured by the progressive CCD, this A/D converter supports gamma switching and other fine downstream image adjustments — one of the keys to achieving rich image expression.
24p Advance Mode — For 24p Non-Linear Editing In 24p mode, images from the CCD can be 2:3 pulldown-converted (24p Mode) or 2:3:3:2 pulldown-converted (24p Advance Mode) and recorded onto tape in the standard 60i TV format. The tape can then be played back or edited using an ordinary DV system. True 24p editing can be achieved by uploading 2:3:3:2 pulldown-converted images via an IEEE1394 DV interface to a compatible non-linear editing system.
Ideal for Active Use Improvements in operating ease, mobility and reliability make the AG-DVX100A ideal for professionals. Three User Buttons for Customized Operation The AG-DVX100A provides three user buttons, each of which can be assigned any one of the 11 functions described below. The assigned functions can then be accessed at the touch of a button. This lets you customize the AG-DVX100A for quicker, easier, more versatile operation.
Magnesium Alloy Chassis – The Rugged Durability Professionals Need Lightweight Design with Balanced Grip The AG-DVX100A introduces a new design that ends the contradiction between a compact, lightweight body and a stable, secure hold. The center of balance is located precisely at the handgrip. Because there's no need for a wide-angle conversion lens, the weight balance is ideal for comfortable shooting. The AG-DVX100A's short body and light weight — it weighs only 4.189 lb (1.
