Panasonic AG-HVX200A - Manual (Page 11)

XLR External Microphone Inputs and Manual Adjustment
Capability Meets Professional Audio Needs
XLR Audio Inputs
In addition to the built-in stereo
microphone, the AG-HVX200A series is
equipped with two XLR audio input
terminals with 48-V phantom power for
professional use. Both input 1 and input
2 can be switched between line and mic
levels. In DV mode, Audio is locked to
the video signal unlike consumer DV
Camcorders.
Audio Dials and Flexible Input Selection
The AG-HVX200A series has the same
kind of level-adjustment dials as
DVCPRO camcorders. This practical
design incorporates professional
operating features that have been
refined over years of use on location.
A switch lets you select built-in mic, input 1, or input 2 for the audio
input of both channel-1 and channel-2. Auto level control can be
turned on or off.
Ergonomic Design Throughout –
Including the Viewfinder, Monitor and Handgrip
Large Electronic Viewfinder
The large viewfinder makes it easy to view content, even with your
eye at a slight distance, and it tilts upward 90 degrees for easy low-
angle shots. The AG-HVX200A series also has a detail (PEAKING)
function.
3.5" Colour LCD Monitor
The large, bright LCD monitor opens all the way to 120 degrees and
swivels freely within a range of 270 degrees. This makes it easy to
shoot from a variety of angles and view the image comfortably.
In 16:9 wide-screen mode, the AG-HVX200A series can display
images in letterbox format.
Trigger and Zoom Control on Upper Handle Grip
In addition to the lens grip, the
upper part of the handle grip
contains both the Rec Start/Stop
button and a lens zoom control.
This design assures easy
shooting even at low angles or
when using a tripod. The zoom
speed can be set to any of three
speed levels or off.
Magnesium Alloy Chassis
The AG-HVX200A series has the same magnesium alloy diecast
chassis as our DVCPRO broadcast models. This ultra-tough,
ruggedly built camcorder protects the precision parts within, giving
the AG-HVX200A series outstanding reliability and durability. Built
for professionals, the AG-HVX200A series stands up to the bumps
and jolts that may occur in the field.
