The AG-HPX170 series debuts as the lightest member of the P2
Series of camcorders that have revolutionized news gathering and
video production. Thanks to an exclusive, P2 card recording design,
the new model weighs in at only 1.9 kg, assuring exceptional mobility.
The AG-HPX170 series also introduces a newly designed camera
section that features a 28mm wide-angle zoom lens — widest in the
class — plus a newly developed 1/3-inch 16:9 progressive CCD that
provides low-noise, low-smear performance. These high-end features
combine with use of the DVCPRO HD codec, with its proven track
record in broadcasting, to provide exceptional HD recording quality.
The AG-HPX170 series offers a host of advanced features. Two P2
card slots allow hot swapping for extended recording. Pre-rec and
loop-rec functions help ensure that you never miss an important
shooting opportunity. There is also 20-step variable frame rate
selection, HD-SDI output for uncompressed streaming output, and a
waveform monitor/vector scope for outdoor recording convenience.
With its superb recording quality, impressive feature set and
exceptional mobility, the AG-HPX170 series is an agile, powerful
solution to today’s broadcasting and image production needs.
