Body Design, Switches, Connectors,
and Recording Functions — All Built for the Professional
New Lightweight Design with Balanced Grip
The AG-DVX100 introduces a new design that ends the
contradiction between a compact, lightweight body and a stable,
secure hold. The center of balance is located precisely at the
handgrip. Because there's no need for a wide-angle conversion
lens, the weight balance is ideal for comfortable shooting.
The AG-DVX100's short body and light weight — it weighs just
1.8 kg in operating condition* — means free, easy
maneuverability. Plus, the low-center-of-gravity design and new
skeleton lens hood greatly improve forward vision.
*Camera/recorder with DV cassette tape and supplied battery.
XLR Audio Input with +48-V Phantom Power Supply
In addition to built-in stereo microphones,
the AG-DVX100 is equipped with two XLR
audio input terminals with a 48-V phantom
power supply for broadcast use. The
terminals are positioned low on the camera
to minimize the possibility of the cables
being snagged when a hand mic is in use.
Both input 1 and input 2 can be switched
between line and mic.
Large Audio Dials and Flexible Input Selection
The AG-DVX100 has the same kind of large level-adjustment dials
as DVCPRO camera/recorders. This practical new design
incorporates professional operating features, such as blind touch
and easy visibility, 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 left and right
channels. Auto gain level control
can be turned on and off, and the
input mic level (–50 dB/–60 dB) can
be selected from the menu.
Large Viewfinder and LCD Monitor
The large-diameter viewfinder tilts upward a full 100°. You can
move the viewfinder away from your eye and still see it clearly,
making it easy to adopt a comfortable shooting stance with
unobstructed forward vision. The 3.5-inch colour LCD shows
your subject in sharp, vivid detail and greatly simplifies menu
settings. It rotates a full 270° for shooting at a wide variety of
angles and easy self-recording.
Recessed 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.
Interval Recording and One-Shot Recording
The AG-DVX100's interval recording works much like a time-
lapse VTR and offers exceptionally high quality. Use it to observe
the growth of a plant, monitor progress at a construction site, or
for a frame-by-frame recording effect. Recording times can be set
from 0.5 to 2 seconds, at intervals from 30 seconds to 10 minutes.
There's also a One-Shot mode — for animation film making —
that records for the set number of seconds each time the Start/Stop
button is pressed.
Built-In Time Code Generator/Reader
The AG-DVX100 records an compliant VTC onto the sub-code
area of the tape. Select from Free Run/Rec Run modes, and use
preset or regen. User bits (UB) are also provided, letting you
record your choice of date, time, TC value, frame rate, or user
data.
External Backup with the IEEE 1394 Synchro
Lock Function
The AG-DVX100 comes equipped with an IEEE 1394-compliant 4-
pin DV terminal that makes it easy to upload data to a PC and dub
onto a DV recorder. This terminal also features a new synchro
lock function that allows the AG-DVX100 to remotely start and
stop an external DV device connected to it via a DV cable. Three
recording modes help protect against mistakes: record only onto
the external recorder, record onto both the AG-DVX100 and the
external recorder, begin external recording when the AG-DVX100
tape ends.
Support Functions for Greater Convenience
•End search: Automatically searches for the last recorded portion
of the tape. Convenient when preparing to start the next
recording.
•Mode check: Displays a list of the camera settings on the
viewfinder and monitor. Makes it easy to check before

viewfinder and monitor. Select any two levels from among 80%,
85%, 90%, 95%, and 100%.
•Rec check: Plays back the last portion of a recorded passage for
easy checking.
•Index: Enables marking while recording. Convenient for
searching after recording.
