18 bit Digital Signal
Processor
The AG-AC160A/AC130A
incorporate a high-performance
18 bit DSP that handles image
rendering processes such as
gamma and various detail
enhancement functions with
exceptional precision.
Dynamic Range Stretch (DRS)
In scenes with mixed contrast, such as when panning from indoors
to outdoors, the DRS function automatically suppresses blocked
shadows and blown highlights. A gamma curve and knee slope are
estimated to match the contrast of each pixel, and applied in real
time. When dark, bright, and intermediate shades are all contained in
the same scene, this produces excellent gradation for each shade
and minimizes blocked shadows and blown highlights.
3-Position Gain Selector plus 24 dB / 30 dB Super Gain
There is a 3-position gain selector, with L, M and H settings. To each
setting you can assign a gain value from 0, +3, +6, +9,+12,+15 and
+18 dB. There is also a Super Gain such as +24 dB and +30 dB.*
*+24 dB and +30 dB can be assigned to an user button only.
7-Mode Gamma for Richer Gradation
Drawing on technologies developed for the VariCam, Panasonic has
equipped the AG-AC160A/AC130A with advanced gamma functions
that address seven different shooting scenarios, including two Cine-
Like Gammas.
AG-AC160A/AC130A Gamma Modes
HD NORM: Suitable for standard HD recording.
LOW: Works to flatten out a high contrast scene.
SD NORM: Normal setting for SD.
HIGH: Expands the tone of dark parts and makes a brighter image.
The contrast softens.
B.PRESS: Makes the contrast sharper than LOW.
CINE-LIKE D: The Cine-Like mode shifted to prioritize dynamic range.
CINE-LIKE V: The Cine-Like mode shifted to prioritize contrast.
Other Camera Image Settings
• Matrix setting including a Cine-Like mode.
• Adjustable H detail level, V detail level, detail coring and
skin tone detail.
• Adjustable chroma level, chroma phase, color temp and
master pedestal.
• Knee point settings: Auto, Low, Mid and High.
• White balance: Three values (A/B/Preset) of white balance with an
auto tracking white function. The Preset can be set to 3200 K,
5600 K and VARIABLE which ranges between P2.4K and P9.9K.
