Panasonic AJ-PX270EJ

The Panasonic AJ-PX270EJ is the first P2HD handheld camera recorder with AVC-ULTRA recording and built-in microP2 card slots. In addition to the established AVC Intra100, the AJ-PX270 also has AVC-LongG for extended recording and the optional AVC-Intra200*2 codec for master level recording offering a wide range of choices. This handheld camera features two built-in microP2 card slots with simultaneous recording functionality, a newly designed multipurpose compact zoom lens and wireless workflow options. Additional features of this camera include a newly designed built-in compact 22x zoom lens which covers a wide range from 28mm to 616mm (35 mm camera equivalent). The three lens rings for Cam-Type Zoom, Focus, and Iris operation provides comfortable manual control similar to that of interchangeable lenses. The newly developed high-sensitivity and low-noise 1/3-type 3MOS sensors produce superb image quality, even in dim light. Features of the Panasonic AJ-PX270EJ AVC-Intra100/50 + AVC-LongG50/25 (standard) High-quality 10-bit/4:2:2 video recording at 50 Mbps or 25 Mbps New compact / lightweight 22x lens (f=28mm-616 mm/35 mm) Network workflow connectivity with LAN connection as standard Dual microP2 card slots for cost efficient microP2 cards Ergonomic, compact and intuitive design Wide connectivity functions for Easy Sharing in the Field Camera Connectivity is becoming increasingly important as the need for an even faster workflow grows. The AJ-PX270 features a wired and wireless LAN (via an optional, AG-WM30 Wireless dongle), that supports the existing Panasonic network functions such as remote proxy viewing, metadata viewing and amendment, and live uplink and playlist solutions. Further expansion of the AJ-PX270 network workflow is planned, which will include the connection over a mobile 3G/4G/LTE network. Thanks to these network features, users of the AJ-PX270 can easily uplink low-bit rate proxy data*3 and send full quality broadcast content. The handheld camera’s network function make the production workflow more efficient and accelerates the broadcast workflow from shooting to on-air. Professional Outputs for Flexible Shooting The inclusion of the network connections hasn’t been at the expense of the traditional video and audio connections. The AJ-PX270 has all A/V connections you would expect on a professional camera, including SD/HD/3G-SDI output, HDMI, Video output or GEN-Lock input and Timecode IN/OUT. The AJ-PX270 has two 3 pin XLR audio inputs: one in front behind the microphone mount for easy connection to an external mic and one at the rear side of the camera along with the headphone and audio out for monitoring. New Ergonomic, Compact and Intuitive Design The ergonomic design of the AJ-PX270 sees the common video and audio connections mounted on the side of the camera, keeping them out of the way when cables are connected. When it comes to control layout, the low weight and well-balanced AJ-PX270 takes many of its inspirations from the professional mount style shoulder cameras. White balance and video gain control toggle switches are positioned easily to hand under the lens and for the first time in a handheld camera*5 an audio fader control and record start/stop are located at the front of the camera. Master Quality Codecs The AJ-PX270 covers both low-bit rate and high-bit-rate recording thanks to the inherent support of the AVC-ULTRAcodec family. The AVC LongG25 enables extended 1920x1080 10-bit 4:2:2 professional-quality recording (four times longer than AVC-Intra100). The AJ-PX270 also supports DV, DVCPRO, DVCPRO50 as a standard for SD recording and DVCPRO HD, AVC-Intra 50, AVC-Intra 100 along withs the new AVC-LongG6, G12, G25 and G50 as a standard for HD recording. For even higher quality recordings, the AJ-PX270 supports the visually lossless AVC-Intra 200 codec, as an option for master quality, all in one compact handheld camera.
