Panasonic AG-HVX200A - Manual (Page 9)

Cine-Like Gamma Provides Warmer,
Film-Like Colour Tones
Eight-Mode Gamma for Richer Gradation
Drawing on technologies
developed for the VariCam,
Panasonic has equipped the
AG-HVX200A series with
advanced gamma functions that
address eight different shooting
scenarios and enhances your
creative abilities. Included are the
Cine-Like Gamma, which gives
recordings the characteristic
warm tone of film recordings,
and a News Gamma that's
designed especially for news
gathering.
AG-HVX200A series Gamma Modes
NEWS: Minimizes washout to faithfully
capture all visual information especially in the highlights
HD NORM: Suitable for HD recording
LOW: Works to flatten out a high contrast scene
SD NORM: Normal setting for SD
(this was available in the DVX100 series)
HIGH: Provides more contrast and colour gradation
B.PRESS: Provides more contras and blacks in low contrast scenes
CINE-LIKE-D: The Cine-Like mode
shifted to prioritize dynamic range
CINE-LIKE-V: The Cine-Like mode
shifted to prioritize contrast
Create Slow-/Fast-Motion Effects Using
Mini DV Tape
In addition to its two P2 card slots, the AG-HVX200A series is
equipped with a mini DV tape drive. This allows recording in 50i,
25p modes, just like AG-DVX100 series models. It also lets you
down-convert an HD recording (1080i/720P) recorded on a P2 card
and copy it to a mini DV tape.
During the Dubbing process,
frame-rate conversion is
applied to the overcranked or
undercranked HD footage
recorded in the 720p native
modes. This lets you create
special speed effects during
DV production – until now, a
feat possible only with a
complete VariCam system.
