Professional HD Quality  
Progressive 3CCD and 2/3-inch Interchangeable Lens System for Full-Fledged HD Video Production  
2/3-Inch Interchangeable Lens System  
Chromatic Aberration Compensation (CAC)  
Chromatic Aberration Compensation (CAC) function is installed in  
AG-HPX500. Combining with the correspondence lens allows  
AG-HPX500 to automatically compensate the registration error that  
is caused mainly by lens chromatic aberration, and minimize the  
circumjacent blur.  
The 2/3-inch bayonet mount allows use of a wide assortment of  
broadcast and professional lenses from a number of companies*.  
2/3-inch zoom lenses make it easier to capture the shallower depth  
of field often used in professional videos.  
Progressive 3CCD  
14-bit Digital Circuitry  
The AG-HPX500 features a high-  
performance digital signal  
The AG-HPX500's 2/3-inch progressive 3CCD* has a larger light  
receiving area for higher sensitivity, and achieves an optimal  
balance among image quality, sensitivity and cost.  
The camera CCDs scan at full 1080/60 (or 50) progressive frames a  
second. It is this initial capture that is the foundation for all of the  
formats that this camera generates. While the camera does not  
record 1080P/60(or 50), the signals start there and are either cross  
converted or down  
processor (DSP) with 14-bit A/D  
conversion and 19-bit inner  
processing. This DSP provides

being utilized that day.  
stage of picture generation from  
1080 progressive, and it handles  
all HD/SD format conversion  
processes (P/I conversion, line conversion, down conversion) at the  
same time. You get superior image quality in all video formats.  
HD/SD Multi-Format Capabilities  
Interlace scanning frame  
(Image)  
Supporting 32 HD/SD video recording formats, the AG-HPX500  
meets professional needs in news acquisition and in the production  
of TV programming, independent films and other demanding video  
content, and its versatility allows this content to be distributed  
worldwide.  
Progressive scanning frame (Image)  
For 1080i/720p HD recording, the AG-HPX500 uses the DVCPRO  
HD codec, with its proven track record in broadcasting applications.  
For SD recording, the AG-HPX500's multi-codec capabilities let you  
select from DVCPRO50, DVCPRO and DV video quality.  
* The effective image size of the CCD is equivalent to 2/3.2 inches.

* In 1080 and 480 modes, the frame rate is fixed at 24p/30p (25p in the 50-Hz mode).  
• Higher-rate shooting produces a slow-motion effect.  
This is especially effective for  
high-action scenes like car  
chases or crashes, or for  
scenes with considerable  
dramatic impact.  
• Lower-rate shooting creates a fast-motion effect.  
This technique can be  
Native and Over-60p (50p) Modes  
720p Native Mode: The AG-HPX500 records images at the frame  
rate set in the camera. Using the AG-HPX500 to play back the  
recording at the normal rate, you can preview the speed effect  
right on the spot, without using a frame rate converter. Native  
mode also extends the recording time.

720p over 60p (or 50p) Mode: The unit can output a DVCPRO HD  
stream from the IEEE 1394 connector as it records. This lets you  
produce a backup copy using a connected external hard disk  
recorder, such as the Panasonic AJ-HD1400 DVCPRO HD  
recorder or the Focus Enhancements FireStore FS-100.

Cine-Like Gamma (Eight-Mode Gamma)  
1080/480 24p Advance Mode  
Drawing on technologies developed for the VariCam, Panasonic has  
equipped the AG-HPX500 with advanced gamma functions that  
address eight different shooting scenarios and expand your creative  
abilities. Included are Cine-Like Gamma, which gives recordings the  
characteristic warm tone of film recordings, and a News Gamma  
that's designed especially for news gathering.  
When recording in 1080/24p or 480/24p at 60 Hz, the AG-HPX500  
lets you select 24pA (Advance) mode. In this mode, it performs 60i  
conversion using 2:3:3:2 pulldown, which maintains higher image  
quality than ordinary 24p (2:3 pulldown) in nonlinear editing*. In 30p  
and 25p recording (at 50 Hz), the AG-HPX500 uses 2:2 pulldown.  
Slow, Synchro and High-Speed Shutter  
Used with the variable frame rate function, this allows you to create  
a blurring effect or crystal-clear stop-motion of sports action.  
The AG-HPX500 also features a synchro scan function for capturing  
screen shots from a computer monitor.

P2 Recording Function  
Four Slots for Quick Recording on Reliable P2 Memory Cards  
slot on a laptop.  
P2 Cards: High Capacity,  
Fast Transfer and Superior Reliability  
Immediate Startup and Better Data Protection  
When you press the Record button in standby mode,  
Developed for cost effective production applications, the P2 card  
consists of four SD cards packaged together as a single compact  
unit that weighs only about 0.099 lbs (45 grams). This ultra-reliable  
card has four times the capacity and four times the transfer speed of  
a single SD card.  
the AG-HPX500 instantly finds a blank area on the P2 card and  
begins recording. It can begin recording immediately even when  
you're using it to preview video. In normal use, there's no chance of  
accidentally overwriting a recording. Recordings will not be erased  
unless you intentionally delete a file or initialize the card.  
In addition to the high resistance to impact, vibration and  
temperature change that semiconductor memory is known for, the  
P2 card also offers outstanding reliability. Unlike tapes and discs, it  
has no rotating or contact parts. It's built to withstand repeated  
recording and initialization over many years of use. The P2 card  
connector is specifically designed to stand up to the repeated  
insertion and removal involved in professional use.  
Advanced Recording Functions Employing  
Four Card Slots  
In addition to continuous, multiple-card recording, the four P2 card  
slots of the AG-HPX500 also enable some useful new recording  
functions that are possible only with memory cards.  
• Card selector: The recording slot can be switched instantly when  
the unit is in standby mode. Immediately after recording a clip, you  
can remove the P2 card and use it in editing or transmission. This  
lets you continue your recording work with much shorter  
downtime than when changing tapes or discs.  
The AG-HPX500 records the A/V data for each recording as a file on  
the P2 card, which eliminates the need for digitizing. The files can  
be used directly in a nonlinear editing system or transferred over a  
network. The P2 card transfers data at a speed that discs simply  
cannot match, giving you faster, easier operation.  
The P2 card is convenient too - you can plug it directly into the card  
• Hot-swap-rec: You can replace a full memory card with a blank  
one while the P2 cam is recording onto a second card.  
Successively swapping cards gives you virtually unlimited  
recording capability.  
• Loop-rec: This function can be specified in length and the camera  
will continuously record over that area until you push the pause.  
This allows for a longer record time than pre-record.  
Other Versatile Recording Functions  
• Pre-rec: While in standby mode, you can continuously store, and  
subsequently record, up to 3 seconds in HD (7 seconds in SD). In  
effect, this lets you record footage of events that occur even  
before you press the Rec Start button, giving you a way to "go  
back" and capture moments you otherwise would have missed.

• One-shot rec: Convenient for producing animation, this mode  
records for a set time (from 1 frame to 1 second) each time you  
press the Start button.  
Shot Marker and Text Memo  
A shot mark, which allows convenient OK and NG marking, can be  
added to each clip during or after recording. When a P2 card with  
marked clips is inserted in a PC*, it's possible to have only the  
marked clips displayed. The AG-HPX500 also has a text memo  
function. When recording or previewing a clip, press the Text Memo  
button at any of up to 100 locations and a blank text memo label is  
registered. On your PC*, you can then search for the label and write  
• Interval rec: Recording one frame at a time at set intervals (from 2  
frames to 10 min), this mode is useful for monitoring and special  
ultra-undercranking effects.  
Clip Thumbnail/Data Function  
The P2 cam records each recording as a clip (file) and automatically  
attaches a thumbnail image and file information to it. To preview a  
clip on the LCD monitor or to check clip data, simply choose the  
clip you want from the list of thumbnails.  
a memo into it.  
* Must have P2 Viewer installed  
The thumbnail image and file information can also be displayed on a  
PC (using P2 Viewer*) or nonlinear editing software.  
* P2 Viewer software for Windows PCs can be downloaded, free of charge.  
P2 Viewer  
SD Memory Card Slot  
Plug an SD card into the slot provided, and you can save or load  
scene files and user-setting files. You can create a metadata upload  
file (produced with P2 Viewer) containing information such as the  
name of the camera operator, the name of the reporter, the  
recording location, and text memos on an SD Memory Card, and  
load it as clip metadata.

System and Interface  
Comes Equipped with IEEE 1394, USB 2.0 and HD SDI Interfaces. Allows Remote Control with the AJ-RC10G.  
IEEE 1394 Interface  
Compatibility with Nonlinear Editing Systems  
DVCPRO HD P2 files recorded by the AG-HPX500 can be used in  
nonlinear editing systems made by a variety of manufacturers,  
making it possible for you to produce HD content in native DVCPRO  
HD. And because the AG-HPX500 uses the same recording format  
as the AG-HVX200, the AG-HPX500 is compatible with nonlinear  
editing systems that support our other P2HD cameras.  
The IEEE 1394-compliant DVCPRO (6-pin) output connector lets  
you output all HD/SD compression streams without decoding.*  
This means you can connect and use a DVCPRO HD VTR (such as  
the AJ-HD1400) or Focus Enhancements FireStore FS-100 for  
degradation-free backup recording.  
The IEEE 1394 interface also makes it easy to upload data to a  
Mac-based or PC-based nonlinear editing system. The AG-HPX500  
also provides a host mode that lets you copy P2 files to a hard drive  
without using a PC.
