Panasonic's AJ-SDX900
The newest camera to feature the innovative format of 24p
AJ-SDX900 24p DVCPRO50 CAMERA
Panasonic introduces an entirely new breed of DVCPRO50 camera-recorder. The AJ-SDX900 combines advanced DVCPRO and DVCPRO50 imaging technology -- acclaimed by ENG and other video professionals all over the world -- with a compact, lightweight body designed for easy mobility. In designing the AJ-SDX900, Panasonic solicited a host of feedback from video professionals. The result is a fully mobile unit that is ideally balanced, easy to maneuver, and rugged enough for the field.Image quality is excellent thanks to a 2/3" 520,000-pixel 3CCD imaging system with progressive scanning capability and a new 12-bit DSP circuit. A full-fledged DVCPRO50 recorder, the AJ-SDX900 offers high sensitivity, superb 4:2:2 video recording, and four audio channels. Operation is intuitive. A new digital super gain function (in cumulative mode) raises sensitivity even higher. A 24p or 30p progressive shooting mode combines with a cine-like gamma curve to create video that closely replicates the appearance and quality of film. The AJ-SDX900 is an outstanding solution in a wide range of applications, from production of TV programs, commercials, news gathering to music video clips.
