HPX250: AVC-Ultra handheld cam

[vanvideo]

Did anyone hear about this camera at NAB 2013? It's an AVC-Ultra handheld cam prototype. I never heard anything about it. The video's in German (maybe), so I don't know what info they're providing:

It is indeed in German. The mocked-up AVC-Ultra camera at the beginning of the video is supposed to be available in February of 2014.

Ah, thank you, sir.
Perhaps this is an HPX250 replacement? It will have a better codec. Did the video mention if the cam has micro P2 slots built in?

As far as I know nothing additional has been said about that mockup. It looks to me like it'd be a next-generation HPX250, with microP2 and 1080/60p. I would certainly expect that we'd hear more about it at IBC in a week or two.
