The high-performance AG-HPX255/HPX250 P2 handheld camera recorders fill out the
P2HD series by incorporating the newest technologies throughout – in the lens,
camera and recorder sections. The newly developed 22 x zoom lens covers a wide
shooting range, from wide-angle to telephoto, and features three manual rings for
precise control.
Imaging is optimised by the high-sensitivity, low noise 1/3-type 2.2-megapixel ULT
(Ultra Luminance Technology) 3MOS image sensors.
The AG-HPX255/HPX250 P2 are the first handheld models to support AVC-Intra
codecs. This combination provides a level of performance that rivals many full-size,
shoulder-type camera recorders and adds the high quality acquisition of full HD (1920
x 1080) in 10 bit, 4:2:2 full sampling.
Image expression is also boosted by the Variable Frame Rate (VFR) function, and
system expansion for broadcasting and other production applications is provided by
multi-camera synchronising.
The stylish design of the AG-HPX255/HPX250 adds to both mobility and operating
ease, and opens a new stage for news gathering and image acquisition.
In addition to these specifications, the AG-HPX255/HPX250 is fully prepared for
broadcast use, including camera remote capabilities when combined with the optional
AG-EC4G extension control unit.
These camera recorders are available from Timbre Broadcast Systems.
