Large-Capacity SDHC Memory Cards Enable Extended-Time Recording
SDHC Memory Cards are available with up to 32 GB of memory
(AG-SDV032G). Combined with a maximum data transfer speed of
20 MB/s,* this makes PC data transfers easy and effortless. SDHC
Memory Cards also feature excellent durability, with an operating
temperature range of −25° to 85°C. Using the high compression
efficiency of the AVCHD format, up to 720 minutes** of HD data can
be recorded onto a single SDHC Memory Card. Widely marketed
consumer SDHC and SD Memory Cards can also be used when
needed, to ensure easy availability.
* Data transfer speed varies depending on the usage of SD devices. The speed given here is the
maximum speed according to Panasonic specifications.
** In HE (extended time) mode using a 32-GB SDHC Memory Card. A Class 4 or higher SDHC or SD
Memory Card is required for PH and HA mode recording. Use a Class 2 or higher SDHC or SD Memory
Card for other modes. (Panasonic SDHC Memory Cards are recommended.)
Professional PH Mode — High-End Standard for the AVCHD Format
The AG-HMC150 series features the image-enhancing PH mode that
Panasonic developed exclusively for AVCCAM camcorders. Designed
for professional image production, this mode lets you record 108025p,
720/50p or 720p/25p progressive images in addition to 1080/50i from
the AG-HMC150 series 1920 x 1080 full-pixel HD images. The multi-
slice feature of the PH mode also helps to speed up processing by
nonlinear editors that are equipped with multi-core CPUs, by using
parallel processing to take full advantage of the CPU power.
Professional-Level Audio with XLR Line/Mic In
The AG-HMC150 series comes equipped with a built-in stereo
microphone and with XLR-type audio input terminals (2 channels,
mic/line switchable, +48V compatible) on the rear panel. You can
switch audio channels 1 and 2 separately to either line or front mic
input, which is especially useful when recording interviews or narration.
SMPTE Time-Code Generator/Reader
The built-in SMPTE time-code generator/reader lets you select the Free
Run/Rec Run modes, preset and regenerate. User bits are also provided.
Fast Scene Searches with Thumbnail View
Image data is recorded as a file for each scene. Thumbnail images and
file information are automatically attached to each file to enable
smooth, easy confirmation and deletion of files displayed on the
LCD monitor.
