AVCHD Format Recording: Superior Quality, Efficiency and Reliability
A Wealth of Recording Functions to Meet Professional Needs

High-end AVCHD Image Quality
PH Mode for High Bit Rate Recording
The AG-HMR10 features the image-enhancing PH mode that Panasonic
developed exclusively for AVCCAM camera recorders. It delivers a
maximum AVCHD bit rate of 24 Mbps (average: 21 Mbps). Designed for
professional image production, this mode handles full-pixel HD 1920 x
1080 and 1280 x 720 HD pixels, and lets you record 1080/30p,
1080/25p, and 1080/24p progressive images in addition to 1080/60i and
1080/50i when connected to the AG-HCK10G (optional).

Ease, Efficiency, Reliability
Large-capacity SDHC Memory Card
Unlike videotape, there's no need for cueing with the SDHC Memory Card
because recording automatically begins in a blank section of memory. Nor do
you have to worry about accidentally recording over important footage. You can
delete unwanted clips instantly right on the spot to preserve memory capacity.
Editing after shooting is smooth and easy, with no need for digitizing.
The solid-state memory design does away with the moving mechanism to
provide excellent resistance to impacts, vibration and temperature changes,
and eliminates concerns about dropouts and clogged heads.
•Using the high compression efficiency of the AVCHD format, up to
1
720 minutes* of HD data can be recorded onto a single SDHC
Memory Card.
•Combined with a maximum data transfer speed of 22 MB/s,*
makes data transfers to computers easy and effortless.
•SDHC Memory Cards are inexpensive and can be easily purchased
on location when needed.
*1: In HE (extended time) mode using a 32 GB SDHC Memory Card.
*2: Data transfer speed varies depending on the usage of SD devices.
The speed given here is the maximum speed according to
Panasonic specifications.

AVCHD Format for High-quality,
Efficient HD Recording
This format complies with the latest H.264 motion image compression
standard, and employs the High Profile standard to improve compression
efficiency. Featuring twice the compression efficiency of HDV (MPEG-2),
the AG-HMR10 achieves extended HD recording time.
MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 Technologies
• Intra-frame Prediction
• Variable Block Size Motion Compensation
• Loop Filter Prevents the Propagation of Compression Distortion
• New Entropy Encoding 'CABAC'
