2. Advantages of DVCPRO HD
2-1 DVCPRO HD and the DVCPRO Family:
A Proven Track Record in Broadcasting
DVCPRO HD — Developed for High End HD Production
A key advantage of the AG-HVX200 is that it uses DVCPRO HD (DVCPRO
50/DVCPRO/DV). Since this high-definition format was introduced in 2000, its
image and sound quality, reliability, and operating ease have earned the acclaim of
broadcasters and video professionals all around the world. The original (standard-
definition) DVCPRO format, introduced in 1996, has also seen wide use in
broadcasting and other professional applications.
Moreover, because a wide range of peripheral equipment has been developed for
use with DVCPRO HD VTRs, DVCPRO HD gives you more versatility in editing and
other post-production processes.
