Newly Designed Leica Dicomar 13x Zoom Lens System
for HD Applications
The New Leica Dicomar® HD Lens
Developed specifically for HD recording, this lens system features a
large 82-mm (diameter) filter along with 15 lens elements in 11 groups,
including three aspherical lenses.
The Leica Dicomar lens incorporates Leica optical technology and
know-how throughout. The use of low-dispersion glass reduces color
aberration and increases resolution, while a multi-coating process
minimizes flare and ghosting. This results in sharp, crisp, beautifully
rendered images with delicate nuances and exceptional shading.

Wide-Angle, 13x Zoom Lens
The Leica Dicomar Lens is a powerful 13x zoom lens designed
especially for HD video recording. Extending all the way to 4.2mm
(equivalent to 32.5mm on a 35mm lens), this lens covers the full wide-
angle range needed in most broadcast and professional shooting.
There's no need for a bulky wide-angle conversion lens. With a
minimum object distance (MOD) of approximately 1.9 ft (0.6 meter) in
telephoto mode, the AG-HVX200 has true handheld maneuverability.
And with the same cam-driven zoom ring acclaimed in the DVX100
series, the AG-HVX200 gives you the superior operability and control
you need in demanding applications.
OIS (Optical Image Stabilizer)
Panasonic's advanced OIS (Optical Image Stabilizer) dramatically
reduces the blurring caused by hand-shake. Optical processing with
an automatic correction function helps assure consistently clear,
sharp images.
New Progressive CCD and DSP
Achieve Higher Sensitivity and Image Quality
New High-Sensitivity Progressive CCD
Each pixel has a large light-receiving
area, giving this newly developed 1/3-
type progressive CCD the kind of high
sensitivity not available in previous
compact HD cameras. This advanced
CCD combines with a newly
developed digital signal processor
(DSP) in combination with a very
sophisticated offset spatial
technology acheives a balance of high
resolution and high S/N ratio that rivals HD broadcasting cameras.
New DSP with 14-bit A/D Conversion and 19-bit
Processing
The AG-HVX200's newly developed
digital signal processor for 1080/60p
video signals uses 14-bit A/D
conversion and 19-bit inner
processing to attain unprecedented
accuracy. While the camera does not
record 1080/60p, 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 new DSP helps
the AG-HVX200 deliver beautiful images in all video formats.
