Panasonic AJ-P2C016HG (AJP2C016HG) - P2 16GB solid state memory card

Now you can hire extra P2 cards from TFS. Or if you have your own camera why not hire spare cards for your shots. At the heart of the P2-Series is Panasonic's new plug-in PC-card type media. Called P2 ("Professional Plug-in"), these solid state memory cards are neither tape nor disk and require no mechanism. P2 cards fit neatly into the slots of P2 Series equipment and record DVCPRO50/DVCPRO/DV data. The P2 card is extremely rugged, enabling the P2 camcorder to achieve outstanding anti-vibration and anti-shock performance. Most importantly, the P2 card's compact size, light weight, large capacity and expandability bring an entirely new era of mobility to news gathering. P2 Series equipment records in MXF (Media Exchange File) - a file format whose exceptional PC versatility is transforming the news production workflow. The P2 card mounts directly into the PC card slot on a PC, so you have instant access for non-linear editing and for transferring data with no digitisation required.

The Panasonic AG-HVX200 HD Camera-Recorder

Introducing for hire the AG HVX200.

This handheld DVCPRO HD P2 camera-recorder is designed to meet emerging needs in HD content production. It debuts as Panasonic's first HD video product to use P2, the cutting-edge memory recording device that has the potential to revolutionize the entire production paradigm.

The AG-HVX200 records HD, either 1080i or 720p video acquired by a new optical system and high-performance digital signal processor onto a P2 card using the broadcasting DVCPRO HD codec. This system achieves a level of image quality that conventional handheld HD cameras simply cannot match, while also supporting HD/SD multi-format and multi-codec recording capabilities.

Variable frame rate recording is just one of the features that makes the AG-HVX200 unique in its class. Using technologies that make the Panasonic VariCam camera-recorder a favourite in movie production, this powerful function allows the over cranking and under cranking techniques used with film cameras to create fast-motion and slow-motion effects. The P2 card offers superior reliability, immediate playback and outstanding cost-performance. It allows direct connection to non-linear editing systems and streamlines the production work flow, by providing to the editing system data files ready to be edited, rather than a video tape which would require the task of digitising.

On top of all its advanced features and technologies, the AG-HVX200 inherits the refined design and easy operation that distinguishes Panasonic's high-value DVX100 DV camera series. In the AG-HVX200, video professionals of all kinds will find a powerful tool for giving form to their creative visions.

Introducing RED ONE

The RED ONE^TM body - designed for flexibility and functionality. Weighing in at around 9 lbs, a streamlined package specifically designed to maximize your shooting options. Matched with a 35mm PL lens mount it allows you to take advantage of the world's best optics. Modular and upgradeable, the RED ONE^TM camera is a future-proof acquisition system you can build upon. RED ONE^TM's modular design means you can upgrade with us as we add new features, accessories and improve system specifications.
 

PIXEL SHIFTING AND UP-REZZING NOT SPOKEN HERE Typical high-end HD camcorders have 2.1M pixel sensors and record with 3:1:1 color sub-sampled video at up to 30fps. RED can deliver 12M pixels at up to 60fps and record wide dynamic range and color space 12 bit native RAW. That's more than 5 times the amount of information available every second and a vastly superior recording quality. Don't need all that data for your workflow? Dial it back, and keep all the other advantages of the Mysterium TM Super 35mm cine sized (24.4×13.7mm) sensor. You get the same breathtaking Depth of Field and selective focus as found in film cameras using equivalent 35mm P/L mount lenses. Mysterium TM boasts greater than 66db Dynamic Range thanks to its large 29 sq. micron pixels. And 12,065,000 pixels deliver resolution that can only be called Ultra High Definition. RED ONE IS A MODULAR DESIGN Shoot lightweight EFP style (body around 9 lbs., in rugged aluminum alloy) or load it up to shoot a feature film. Options include RED-RAILTM mounting accessories that 'grow' the camera body. Configure for tripod, crane or long lens applications. High-resolution RED monitors come equipped with advanced tools for framing, exposure and focus. The RED ONETM body and RED-RAIL components provide numerous mounting points to allow hundreds of optional RED and third party accessories... some that haven't even been dreamed of yet.
