The Panasonic Ag-HMC81 is a tapeless camera recorder that meets the needs of professional HD/SD Multi Format Recording
The multi format Panasonic AG-HMC81 records in both AVCHD (HD) and DV (SD) formats onto SD/SDHC memory card. This tapeless camcorder features a 12x optical zoom lens, Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS), and a 1/4.1 inch, 3.05 mega pixel (approx. 2 mega pixel/effective image pixels), progressive 3MOS. In HD mode, the AVCHD format has twice the compression efficiency of MPEG-2 for superb image quality. Its exclusive PH mode allows exceptional quality recordings at a higher bit rate (max. 24 Mbps). SD mode records AVI files using the popular DV compression method. This file based system enables effective use of existing DV compatible nonlinear editing systems.
The AG-HMC81 also features a shoulder mount design that enables stable shooting, XLR audio input (with phantom microphone supprt), and a BNC component/composite image output terminal as standard equipment, for smooth compatibility with professional systems.
