High-Resolution Native Progressive 1080/60p Scan
Progressive to interlace conversion, cross conversion and down
conversion all start with the 1080p/60 scan. That initial 1080p Native
Progressive Scan offers the highest level of vertical resolution possible
at this level of camera. Keep in mind that the camera does not record
this signal but uses it as a basis for all capture. The result is an HD or
SD recording with a level of image quality that electronically
processed scans cannot match.
DVCPRO HD: The Image and Sound Quality Broadcasters
Demand Supports Multi-Codec Recording
The Superb Images and Sound of DVCPRO HD Codec
Using the DVCPRO HD codec
recording system, the
AG-HVX200A records HD video
with outstanding image and audio
quality onto a P2 card in file
format. This codec, thanks to a
low compression ratio at a video
bit rate of 100 Mbps (1080/59.94i,
720/59.94p) and the easy-to-edit
intraframe compression system, is
suitable for recording fast-moving subjects with no motion artifacts
other than motion blur. The 4:2:2 sampling rate minimizes jaggies at
chroma edges and is advantageous in image compositing and motion
tracking. Sound quality is excellent too, thanks to DVCPRO HD's
uncompressed 16-bit, 4-channel digital audio recording capability.
