High-Quality, Multi-Format AVCHD PH Mode
The AG-AC120EN features the AVCHD format and high-quality PH
mode. AVCHD complies with MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 High Profile
technology for superb images and low data rates. PH mode was
developed by Panasonic exclusively for high-quality video
production. With a maximum AVCHD bit rate of 24 Mbps (average:
21 Mbps), it records 1920 x 1080 Full-HD images. PH mode also
supports multiple HD formats, such as 1080/50i, 1080/25p, 720/50p
and 720/25p.
DV Recording Mode Supported
Records SD video into a DV-format file* (AVi Type 2) for added
flexibility. Standard DV output (IEEE 1394) lets you ingest files to
a PC or Mac.
*DV-format files made by the AG-HMC80 Series are not fully compatible with the AG-AC120EN.
Use the same model of camera recorder which was used for recording to play back DV-format files.
A class 6 or higher SDXC/SDHC/SD memory card is required for DV recording.
Dual Slot SDXC/SDHC Memory Card Recording
• Dual memory card slots: Relay recording*
images onto two memory cards consecutively, and simultaneous
recording*
records the same images onto two different memory
2
cards for reliable backup.
• SDXC/SDHC/SD Memory Card: The SDXC Memory Card is a
large-capacity device. The AG-AC120EN can also use SDHC and
SD Memory Cards.
• Interval Rec: Records one frame at a time in set intervals (1 sec.,
10 sec., 30 sec., 1 min., 2 min.). *
• Pre-rec: While in standby mode, the camera recorder can
continuously store, and subsequently record, up to about 3 seconds
to ensure that you always get the shot you want.
• Shot mark: Allows convenient OK or NG marking, and can be
added to each clip during or after recording.
• Index: Scenes can be marked with up to 100 index flags per clip.*
• Rec check: you can check the end of the most recently recorded
clip with one-touch ease.
• Last clip delete: One-touch delete of the most recently recorded clip.

and procedures.

*1: The AVCHD's maximum consecutive recording length is 12 hours. This cannot be extended even
by using the relay function. *2: Simultaneous recording cannot be combined with relay recording or
interval recording. Also, Rec Check and Last Clip Delete will not operate during simultaneous
recording. *3: Only in 1080/25p AVCHD mode. Audio recording not possible. *4: AVCHD recording
