Featuring AVC-Intra recording, the powerful, 2.5-pound AG-HPG20 P2 Portable brings easy
playback, recording and file copying of 10-bit, 4:2:2 content to field and studio work. Equipped
with two P2 card slots and a 3.5-inch LCD monitor, the P2 Portable lets you view content
immediately in a variety formats -- whether it's 10-bit, 4:2:2 AVC-Intra or DVCPRO HD or in
standard definition in DVCPRO50, DVCPRO and DV.
With professional inputs/outputs (IEEE 1394, USB 2.0 and HD-SDI) and AVC-Intra support, the
P2 Portable serves as a low-cost, master-quality deck for fast, file-based recording in high quality
production workflows. The unit's HD/SD-SDI input terminal gives the flexibility of HD or SD line
recording from a wide range of video sources, bridging content to and from older tape-based
systems and new HD-SDI infrastructures. The shock-resistant, solid-state recorder features a
wide range of clip playback and management functions (including metadata editing), speakers
and easy-to-use controls.
The versatile P2 Portable is an essential workflow tool for these uses:
• P2 card playback/transfer (alone or connected to computer/NLE system)
• HD or SD playback to large screen and production displays
• Solid-state backup recording with tape-based camcorders (via IEEE1394)
• Lower Resolution recording for proxy work
• Signal recording (with metadata) for broadcast field operations such as news crew pool
feeds
• Master-quality recording using AVC-Intra workflow (transfer via uncompressed HD-SDI for
post production systems and storage networks)
The battery-powered HPG20 is compatible with Panasonic's range of camcorders and camera
systems and can work with a broad range of non-Panasonic camera systems. Windows PC and
Mac compatible.

The AG-HPX500 P2 HD shoulder-mount camcorder delivers a unique combination of high-end
features never offered in a camcorder in this genre, including production-quality 2/3" progressive
3-CCDs, DVCPRO HD quality, multi HD and SD formats, variable frame rates, and four
independent audio channels. In addition, the HPX500 offers the outstanding benefits of P2 solid
state recording including ultra-fast IT workflow and no-moving-parts reliability, which makes the
camera ideal for use in harsh environments.
At only 8.2 pounds, the HPX500 features a high-performance digital signal processor (DSP) with
14-bit A/D conversion and 19-bit processing that handles HD/SD format conversion
simultaneously -- ensuring spectacular images in all video formats for applications ranging from
news acquisition, independent filmmaking, corporate video, sports and much more. To give your
productions tremendous flexibility, the HPX500 records in over 32 HD and SD formats. The
camcorder records on re-usable, removable P2 cards. With Panasonic's new 16GB P2 card and
HPX500's four P2 slots, the camera records for 68 minutes of DVCPRO HD; 136 minutes of
DVCPRO 50; and 272 minutes of DVCPRO.
• Records in 1080/60i, 50i, 30p, 25p and 24p; in 720/60p, 50p, 30p, 25p, and 24p; and in
DVCPRO50, DVCPRO and DV
• Excellent low-light performance and a high sensitivity of F10
• Equipped with eight gamma modes, including CineGamma, for different shooting situations
• Like the AJ-HDC27 VariCam camera, variable frame rates in 11 steps between 12p and 60p
allows undercranking/overcranking for fast- or slow-motion effects
• Users have immediate access to P2 content with clip thumbnail view and advanced recording
features including hot swapping, loop record, shot-marking, pre-record functions (three seconds
in HD and seven seconds in SD), one-shot and interval.
• Key interfaces include IEEE 1394, USB 2.0, HD SDI/SDI, genlock, built-in SMPTE time code,
independent TC-IN/TC-OUT terminals, composite video, analog component and four audio XLR
inputs
• 4-position Neural Density filter
• Low power consumption of 22 watts (when 3.5" LCD monitor and 1.5" viewfinder are in use)
• 3.5" color LCD screen (with image flip function) located at rear of the camera
• Chromatic Aberration Compensation function allows the camera to automatically compensate
the registration error that is caused mainly by lens chromatic aberration and minimize the
circumjacent blur.
• Remote controllable with AJ-RC10G (via 10-pin RCU terminal)
