Abel Cine Tech - LA Hosts Panasonic Open House
Thursday, 08 February 2007

Join us on Thursday, February 8th, for the Los Angeles debut of the Panasonic AJ-HPX2000 at Abel Cine Tech’s Burbank facility. Experts from Panasonic will discuss the features of this new P2 HD camcorder, as well as the P2 workflow and post-production.

The Panasonic AJ-HPX2000 is the first shoulder-mount P2 HD camcorder. It features native HD progressive 2/3" 3-CCDs, 14-bit A/D processing, and the ultra-high reliability of P2 solid-state recording. This multi-format camera produces pristine, high-quality images in 1080i, 720p, 480p, 480i, and 576i (a total of 17 HD and SD formats). It supports flexible compression rates including DVCPRO HD/50/25/DV, as well as the new AVC-Intra codec (with an optional board available in Summer 2007).

AVC-Intra offers comparable DVCPRO HD quality at half the bit rate, doubling the recording time per P2 card while lowering media storage and distribution costs. The AVC-Intra codec will offer two different record modes: AVC-Intra 100 for full-bit HD quality and AVC-Intra 50 for increased storage efficiency.

Get a first look at the latest P2 camcorder at Abel LA’s Panasonic Open House. Also on hand for demonstration, will be the AJ-HPM100 P2 HD mobile deck.

I hope someone will ask whether the AVC-I codec is for P2 cards only or whether it will be available for use by such devices as Firestore and capture programs such as DV Rack.

Assuming the AVC-I is proprietary by Panasonic, will the codec be licensed?

Perhaps these answers are already known.....
 
Interesting questions. I'm sure it could be recorded on the CinePorter since it acts like a P2 Card. And since Panasonic kind of partnered with Focus on the FireStore, maybe they'll make it compatible with the FS-100. Bigger question is: is there any streaming firewire protocol in place for it? Will it even stream over firewire?
 
Any chance Panasonic would want to stream something like this for us unfortunates that can not make it. I am sure there would be a kind SoCal DVXUSER that would love to partnership with Panasonic for this invaluable feed.
Did my darts hit anyone?
 
I'm bummed.

I'm bummed.

Sorry, I'm going to miss it. I'm working. Please have another workflo open house on a weekend or at night. I would love to attend.
