Memory Card Camera-recorder

Lightest P2 HD Model Brings Even Greater Mobility to Video production and News Gathering

A Handheld Camcorder with 28mm Wide-Angle Lens, Superb Image Quality and Advanced Functions

the ag-hPX171 debuts as the lightest member of the P2 Series of

camcorders that have revolutionized news gathering and video

production. thanks to an exclusive, P2 card recording design, the

new model weighs in at only 1.9 kg, assuring exceptional mobility.

the ag-hPX171 also introduces a newly designed camera section

that features a 28mm wide-angle zoom lens — widest in the class —

plus a newly developed 1/3-inch 16:9 progressive CCd that provides

low-noise, low-smear performance. these high-end features combine

with use of the dvCPro hd codec, with its proven track record in

broadcasting, to provide exceptional hd recording quality.

the ag-hPX171 offers a host of advanced features. two P2 card

slots allow hot swapping for extended recording. Pre-rec and

loop-rec functions help ensure that you never miss an important

shooting opportunity. there is also 20-step variable frame rate

selection, hd-Sdi output for uncompressed streaming output, and a

waveform monitor/vector scope for outdoor recording convenience.

With its superb recording quality, impressive feature set and

exceptional mobility, the ag-hPX171 is an agile, powerful solution to

today’s broadcasting and image production needs.

Conservation.

at 1.9kg, the super-compact ag-hPX171

debuts as the lightest member of

the P2 family. it combines small size and

light weight with an ideal balance - the center of

gravity is in the hand grip – to bring exceptional

comfort and maneuverability to handheld recording.

the zoom lens further enhances shooting ease

and convenience, letting the ag-hPX171 handle

a wide range of applications without requiring

a conversion lens.

Because P2 cards are re-usable and

moving parts are substantially reduced,

P2 HD is an environmentally-friendly

technology.

the wear-free and dropout-free memory

card recording system does not need the

tapes required by conventional vCrs.

the memory card system reduces waste

generated when the heads, tape drive

mechanisms, etc., are replaced.

28mm Wide-Angle, 13x Zoom Leica Dicomar® HD Lens

Light axis

Configuration of the 13-power zoom lens

the wide-angle zoom lens that gained high popularity in the

hvX200 Series has been reduced in size, lightened, and further

widened in this 13x zoom lens. the new lens structure combines

13 lens elements in 10 groups, with 3 aspherical lenses. the

diameter of the front lens element has been reduced from 67 to

53.2 mm, while still achieving a 28mm wide angle (35mm

equivalent), the widest of the class.*

the new lens covers most shooting situations without requiring a

wide-angle conversion lens. its minimum object distance (Mod)

of about 0.6 meter at the telephoto setting helps to maximize the

handheld camcorder’s inherent mobility.

the same cam-driven zoom ring that was so popular in previous

models ensures accurate zooming. The Leica Dicomar lens

incorporates Leica optical technology and know-how throughout.

a multi-coating process minimizes flare and ghosting. this results

in sharp, crisp, beautifully rendered images with delicate nuances

and exceptional shading.

Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS)

Panasonic’s advanced oiS dramatically reduces the blurring

caused by hand-held camera work. optical processing with an

automatic correction function helps assure consistently clear,

sharp images.

New Progressive CCD

Raises Sensitivity and

Lowers Noise and Smear

the new 1/3-inch 16:9

progressive CCd on the

ag-hPX171 further raises image

quality. it combines a

significantly improved S/n ratio

and better low-light performance

than previous models. Backed

by a high-performance digital

signal processor, the CCd brings higher quality to hd images to

meet the demands of broadcasters and high-end video

producers.

and High-Performance DSP

High-Resolution Native Progressive 1080/50p* Scan

Progressive to interlace conversion, cross conversion and down

conversion all start with the 1080/50p* scan. that initial 1080p

native progressive scan offers the highest level of vertical

resolution possible at this level of camera. Keep in mind that the

camera does not record this signal but uses it as a basis for all

captures. the result is an hd or Sd recording with a level of

image quality that cannot be matched by electronically

processed scans.

DSP with 14-Bit A/D Conversion and 19-Bit Processing

the digital signal processor

developed for the

ag-hPX171’s video signals

uses 14-bit a/d conversion and

19-bit inner processing to attain

unprecedented accuracy. it is

from this capture that all other

signals are made. the dSP

performs a variety of

adjustments, including eight

types of gamma settings, for

each of the r, g and B channels. it also converts the signals to

hd or Sd format. With a performance equivalent to the

processors used in many higher-end hd cameras, this dSP

delivers beautiful images in all video formats.

7-Mode Gamma for Richer Gradation

drawing on technologies developed for the variCam, Panasonic

has equipped the ag-hPX171 with advanced gamma functions

that address eight different shooting scenarios and enhance your

creative abilities. This includes the Cine-Like Gamma, which

produces the characteristic warm tone of film recordings.

CINE-LIKE GAMMA

AG-HPX171 Gamma Modes

hd norM: Suitable for hd recording

LOW: Works to flatten out a high contrast scene

Sd norM: normal setting for Sd

(this was available in the dvX100 series)

high: Provides more contrast and color gradation

B.PreSS: Provides more contras and blacks in low contrast scenes

CINE-LIKE-D: The Cine-Like mode shifted to prioritize dynamic range

CINE-LIKE-V: The Cine-Like mode shifted to prioritize contrast

Dynamic Range Stretch (DRS)

in scenes with mixed contrast, such as when panning from

indoors to outdoors, the drS function automatically suppresses

blocked shadows and blown highlights. a gamma curve and

knee slope is estimated to match the contrast of each pixel, and

applied in real time. When dark, bright, and intermediate shades

are all contained in the same scene, this produces excellent

gradation for each shade and minimizes blocked shadows and

blown highlights. the images that result are enhanced by a

visually wide dynamic range.

Advanced Image Adjustments Built-In

• Matrix setting including a Cine-Like mode

• Adjustable H detail level, V detail level, detail coring and skin

detail

• Adjustable chroma level, chroma phase, color temp and master

pedestal

• Knee point settings: Auto, Low, Mid and High

• Scene Files and User files can be saved to an SD Memory Card

and shared with other cameras.

Blocked shadows are suppressed.
