AVCHD Files Transfer Directly to IT Systems
Unlike tape, AVCHD files require no digitizing and can be directly
accessed by a PC (Windows/Macintosh). This makes it easier to use
motion images in new IT applications, like content production,
Internet distribution and source material archiving.
*1: An SDHC Memory Card reader is required if the SDHC Memory Card is not recognized by the PC.
*2: AVCHD-compatible software is required. The minimum system requirements for using the software
must also be satisfied.
Load Data to a PC or Write It to a Blu-ray Disc with AVCCAM Viewer (Download it for Free)
AVCCAM Viewer for Windows PCs makes it easy to preview AVCCAM
files and other AVCHD motion images and meta-data, with very simple
operation. Files can be played from an SD Memory Card, Blu-ray Disc, or
hard disk, and saved to a PC (hard disk) from an SD Memory Card or
Blu-ray Disc. Files can also be copied or deleted, meta-data can be
displayed, and data can be written to an SD Memory Card or Blu-ray
Disc. AVCCAM Restorer software can also be used to restore files that
were damaged, for example, by a power interruption during recording.
AVCHD Nonlinear Editing
AVCHD files can be transferred at high speed by using the USB 2.0
interface to connect the AG-HMC150 or an SDHC Memory Card reader
to a Windows or Macintosh computer. This dramatically improves
productivity when compared with the time-consuming task of digitizing.
*Correct operation should be possible with a nonlinear editor that has been confirmed for compatibility
with a Panasonic HDC-SD9 camcorder, for data recorded using the same HA, HG, and HE recording
modes as on consumer AVCHD equipment. Collaboration to confirm compatibility with the new PH mode
is now under way with Adobe, Apple, GrassValley, and other partner companies.
Simultaneous with the shipping of the AG-HMC150, Panasonic is also making new AVCHD transcoder
software available for free downloading on the following web site. This software is expected to be
compatible with the PH mode and meta-data extension. This will enable the use of existing editing software
which already supported DVCPROHD P2.

Compatibility with Existing HD Editing Environments
By using an HDMI/HD-SDI conversion box, the AG-HMC150 can be
linked to existing linear/non-linear HD production environments using
the DVCPRO HD format.
