Recording Formats: DVCPRO HD / DVCPRO 50 / DVCPRO / DV

Features:

2/3-Inch Interchangeable Lens System
The 2/3-inch bayonet mount allows use of a wide assortment of broadcast and professional lenses. 2/3-inch zoom lenses make it easier to capture the shallower depth of field often used in professional videos.

Chromatic Aberration Compensation (CAC)
Chromatic Aberration Compensation(CAC) function is a new feature in the AG-HPX502. This exclusive technology sets up a conversation between lens and camera which allows for a highly
sophisticated algorithm to be deployed which will automatically compensate the registration error that is caused mainly by lens chromatic aberration, and minimize the circumjacent blur.

Progressive 3CCD
The AG-HPX502's 2/3-inch progressive 3CCD has a larger light receiving area for higher sensitivity, and achieves an optimal balance among image quality, sensitivity and cost. The camera process scans at full 1080/50 (or 60) progressive frames a second. It is this initial capture that is the foundation for all of the formats that this camera generates. While the camera does not record 1080P/50 (or 60), the signals start there and are either cross converted or down converted to the format being utilized that day.

Variable Frame Rate
In 720p mode, the frame rate can be set from the conventional 24p/30p to any of 11 steps between 12p and 50p (or 60p). Like the VariCam, the AG-HPX502 allows undercranking and
overcranking common in film cameras, to create fast-motion and slow-motion effects.

A.P.T for Higher Image Quality
Advanced progressive technology(A.P.T) produces higher total image quality by linking the progressive 3CCD camera system with a high-performance digital signal processor (DSP). In A.P.T, an extremely accurate CCD alignment process is used to offset the pixels on the red and blue channels in both the Horizontal and Vertical directions. This allows for additional resolution to be gained from areas of the green CCD which are non-photo-sensitive. The R, G and B color signals from the 3 CCDs are then sent through a 14-bit A/D converter. Next, a 19-bit DSP performs a highly precise calculation* on the signals to generate 1080/60P (50P) video signals. The signals are then converted into HD or SD format and recorded. By using these progressive video signals, with their excellent vertical resolution, as source signals, a high level of image
quality is achieved that would be difficult to obtain by interpolating
from interlace scans.

HD/SD Multi-Format Capabilities
Supporting 32 HD/SD video recording formats, the AG-HPX502 meets professional needs in news acquisition and in the production of TV programming, independent films and other demanding video content. Its versatility allows this content to be distributed worldwide. For 1080i/720p HD recording, the AG-HPX502 uses the
DVCPRO HD codec, with its proven track record in higher end production applications. For SD recording, the AG-HPX502's multicodec capabilities let you select from DVCPRO50, DVCPRO and DV video quality.
