Nonlinear Editing System
AVCHD Nonlinear Editing
The AG-HMC70 series can be connected to an AVCHD nonlinear
editing system by means of the USB interface or an SDHC card reader.
This reduces production time by allowing high-speed data transfers
without the need for digitizing.
* Panasonic has confirmed AG-HMC70 series compatibility with the following AVCHD nonlinear
editing software (as of February 2008). Apple: Final Cut Pro Version 6.0.1, GrassValley EDIUS
Software Version 4.5. For information on the compatibility of other nonlinear editing software,
please contact the manufacturer. For further information, we recommend that you refer to software
that supports the Panasonic Consumer model HDC-SD1.
Free transcoder software (from AVCHD to P2-DVCPRO HD) is available. For details, please visit
the Panasonic website at <https://eww.pavc.panasonic.co.jp/pro-av/>.
