Performance
The high-sensitivity MOS sensor and AVC-Intra codec enable
high-quality, Full-HD 10 bit 4:2:2* recording.
* Using the AVC-Intra100 codec.
2/3-type Interchangeable Lenses
The 2/3-type bayonet mount interchangeable lens system lets you choose
from a variety of 2/3-type zoom lenses for broadcasting and other
professional uses from third-party manufacturers. Select the lens type
and performance level that meet your needs.
New, High-Sensitivity F12 MOS Sensor
A newly developed 2/3-type MOS sensor offers levels of F12 sensitivity
(at 59.94 Hz)* and low noise with an S/N of 59 dB (standard) that surpass
many 2/3-type 3CCD cameras. High-speed scanning minimizes skewing
distortion.
* F13 sensitivity at 50 Hz

High-Quality Image Processing and Versatile Image Settings
• CAC (Chromatic Aberration Compensation): When using a CAC
compatible lens, the small amount of circumjacent chromatic aberration
(circumjacent blur) that is not corrected by the lens is compensated by
this process.
• DRS (Dynamic Range Stretch): Suppresses blocked shadows and
blown highlights to achieve a visually wide dynamic range.
*The DRS function does not operate in 1080/25p, 1080/24p or 1080/30p mode.
• Advanced Flash Band Compensation (FBC): High-precision flash band
detection and compensation.
• Gamma: Select from 7-mode (HD NORM/LOW/SD NORM/HIGH/B.
PRESS/CINE-LIKE D/CINE-LIKE V) gamma curves.
• Digital image settings: H Detail, V Detail, Detail Coring, Skin Tone
Detail, Chroma Level, Chroma Phase, Color Temperature, Master Pedestal,
Knee (LOW/MID/HIGH), Matrix (NORM1/NORM2/FLUO/CINE-LIKE).
Professional Shooting Functions
• Scan Reverse function for use with a cinema lens adaptor.
• Digital Zoom function for 2x and 4x close-ups.
• Variable Shutter Speed from 1/12 sec to 1/2000 sec plus Synchro
Scan function.
• Four-position (CLEAR, 1/4 ND, 1/16 ND, 1/64 ND) optical neutral
density filter wheel.
Standard-Equipped, High-Quality AVC-Intra Codecs
the new MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 moving picture compression technology.
It records in AVC-Intra100 mode (1920 x 1080,*
with full-pixel HD and full sampling, and AVC-Intra50 mode
(1440 x 1080,*
10 bit, 4:2:0) for high-quality images at a low bit rate
1
and for low-cost operation. The AG-HPX600 will also support the new
codec, AVC-ULTRA*
in the future as a paid upgrade.

*1: These figures are for 1080i/p mode. The AG-HPX600 also supports 720p mode.
*2: Not all AVC-ULTRA formats will be supported.

HD/SD Multi-Format and Multi-Codec Recording
• AVC Intra100/50: 1080/60i, 24pN, 30pN, 720/60p, 24pN, 30pN*
• DVCPRO HD: 1080/60i, 24p, 24pA, 30p, 720/60p, 24p, 30p*
• DVCPRO 50/DVCPRO/DV: 480/60i, 30p, 24p, 24pA*
• 50 Hz mode: 1080/50i, 25p, 25pN, 720/50p, 25p, 25pN, 576/50i, 25p
* 24p = 23.98p, 30p = 29.97p, 60p = 59.94p and 60i = 59.94i
48 kHz/16 bit, 4-Channel Digital Audio
The AG-HPX600 can record full 48 kHz/16 bit digital audio on all four
channels. You can freely select the audio source for each channel,
choosing from mic-in, line-in and wireless receiver.
P2 Card — Excellent Speed, Reliability,
and Environmental Performance
• Broadcast-use P2 card: Offers high reliability to withstand impacts,
vibrations, and temperature changes.
• Quick start: Lets you stand by with the power off, then start shooting
immediately with no need for cueing.
• Safety: Automatically records onto blank card sections and protects
against accidental data overwriting.
• Re-use: High durability and reliability allows years of repeated use.
• Instant playback: Files can be played or transferred as soon as the
thumbnail images are displayed.
• Instant editing: No need for digitizing. P2 cards can be directly
mounted on a PC*
for instant editing with a nonlinear editor and high-
1
speed data transfer*
to a network server.
2
*1: PCs must be installed with the P2 driver in order to mount P2 cards. For editing, PCs must be installed
with P2-compatible editing software available from various companies. Read "Notes Regarding the
Handling of P2 Files Using a PC" on the back page.
*2: The maximum transfer speed is 1.2Gbps. when using the P2 cards. Transfer speed is subject to change
depending on the system configuration.
Versatile File-Based Recording Functions
• Double Slot system: Two P2 card slots allow continuous recording,
card select (recording slot selection), and hot-swap recording (replacing a
card during recording).
• One-Clip rec mode: Records up to 99 consecutive cuts as a single clip.
• Loop rec:*
1
Repeatedly re-records while maintaining a recording of the
most recent, predetermined period.
• Pre-rec:*
Continuously stores footage prior to pressing Rec Start for
1
recovery if desired.
• Interval rec:*
Automatically records intermittently based on a set
1
interval and recording time.
• One-shot rec:*
1
A frame-shot recording function useful for
producing animations.
• Text Memo:*
2
Up to 100 memos can be posted onto a clip as bookmarks.
• Shot Marker:*
2
Used to mark clips as OK, NG, etc.
• Metadata: Data with information such as operator's name, shooting
location, and text memos can be added via an SD Memory Card.
*1: These functions cannot be used during optional Variable Frame Rate recording.
*2: Shot marker and text memo cannot be used in loop rec, interval rec, or one-shot rec.
