Professional Specs Including a New Design for Added Mobility and HD SDI Output
New, Stylish Design Also Boosts Mobility
Even with the high-powered zoom lens, the integrated camera and
recorder sections are compact and stylish. Shifting the handle grip
and LCD position forward (toward the lens) has improved the weight
balance and visibility for handheld shooting, enabling a comfortably
wide view. The magnesium alloy die cast chassis also excels in both
ruggedness and durability.
Low-Angle Shots and Interviews
• The upper part of the handle grip contains both the Rec Start/Stop
button and a lens zoom speed control (three speeds). This design
assures easy shooting even at low angles.
• The new LCD Monitor Mirror mode is convenient when shooting
self-contained interviews.
SDI (24PsF) Output and Auto Rec*
The AG-AC160A is equipped with an HD/SD SDI output terminal for
outputting HD signals, including 1080/24PsF, or down-converted SD
video signals (selectable from the menu). The terminal also supports
Auto Rec to enable backup recording in link with Rec Start/Stop
when a Panasonic recorder equipped with the same function, such
as the AG-HPD24, is used. Embedded audio is also supported.
*AG-AC130A does not have an SDI OUT terminal.
