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 series 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 (1080/50i,
720/50p) 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.
