AVCCAM ACCESSORIES
Panasonic’s AVCCAM series provides the flexibility of low cost, SD memory card based recording and full 1080 and 720 resolution capture. Utilizing AVCHD, an MPEG-4 /AVC Hi Profile-based format, the
AVCCAM series provides a near doubling of bandwidth efficiency with improved video performance over MPEG-2 compression used in HDV formats. It also brings the benefits of solid-state recording to
budget-co
nscious professionals. Like digital still photography, recording onto inexpensive SD/SDHC cards offers a fast and simple, file-based workflow with ultra-reliable performance and resistance to
shock, vibration and extreme temperatures and weather. Since AVCHD records video as digital data files, content can be transferred and stored on affordable, high-capacity hard disk drives (HDD) or optical
stora
ge media and transferred to future storage media as technology advances.
• Using just one 32GB SDHC memory card, a user can record 3 hours of full resolution 1920 x 1080
video and audio in PH mode (average 21 Mbps/max. 24 Mbps), four hours at HA mode (17 Mbps)
and 5.3 hours at HG mode (13 Mbps). In the HE mode (6 Mbps), the camera can record up to 12
hours of 1440 x 1080 HD content on a single 32GB SDHC card.
• AVCHD is supported by a wide range of editing options including Apple Final Cut Pro, Adobe
Premier Pro CS4, EDIUS Pro 5 and EDIUS Neo 2. In addition, a free transcoder can be down-
loaded from Panasonic to convert AVCHD files to DVCPRO HD P2 and downconverted DV files for
use with most existing professional editing systems.
