About Panasonic AJ-HPX3100GJ

Panasonic AJ-HPX3100GJ 2/3" 2.2 megapixel P2 HD Camcorder
When ENG-style camera operators asked for a robust system with less weight, Panasonic delivered with the AJ-HPX3100GJ. The AJ-HPX3100GJ is Panasonic’s most lightweight and compact ?-inch 3-CCD sensor camera crammed with three 2-megapixel CCD sensors. The HPX3100 is capable of capturing full-HD 1920x1080 resolution footage thanks to its AVC-Intra codec. The HPX3100 is capable of shooting HD quality images at various frame rates and codecs giving operators maximum image flexibility.

Key Features

  • Master-quality 1920 x 1080 10-bit video with run-and-gun flexibility

  • 2.2 megapixel 2/3-type 3CCD provides high-resolution full-pixel HD images
  • High sensitivity of F11 (2000 lx) in 1080/59.94i mode or F12 (2000 lx) in 1080/50i, plus an excellent S/N ratio of 59 dB
  • One-clip recording function records multiple cuts in a single clip
  • New options (AJ-YDX30 proxy board available in early 2011) enable high-quality proxy video and wireless LAN capability
  • Chromatic Aberration Compensation (CAC) function compensates for and reduces lens error that may appear with very high resolution recording
  • Three-level Dynamic Range Stretch (DRS) function that varies the gamma correction to match the contrast within the image
  • Advanced 14-bit Digital Signal Processing (DSP) circuit with A/D conversion and 12-axis independent color compensation and detail
  • Records on high data transfer speed E-Series P2 cards (capacity up to 64GB)
  • Digital Zoom and Digital Super Gain
  • One-clip REC function that records up to 99 consecutive cuts as a single clip, greatly facilitating NLE news or documentary editing

Built for scripted-television, documentaries, short-films, cinema, and commercial applications; the Panasonic AJ-HPX3100 offers operators a video rig that is both expandable, compact, lightweight, and broadcast ready thanks to its use of readily available technology as well as the ability to future-proof your investment. Whether building up your workflow from scratch or adding to an existing arsenal of gear, the HPX3100 is a must for your production needs.

From the Manufacturer

The Panasonic AJ-HPX3100GJ is Panasonic's most compact, lightweight 2/3" P2 HD shoulder-mount camcorder ever. Featuring three 2/3" high density 2.2 million pixel CCDs, the HPX3100 acquires full-raster 1920 x 1080 resolution imaging with 4:2:2 10-bit sampling using the advanced AVC-Intra codec. Offering a new compact size (similar to the AG-HPX370) for added mobility, the two P2 slot camcorder records in multiple worldwide formats, in HD in AVC-Intra and in DVCPRO HD at 1080 in 24p, 25p, 30p, 50i and 60i and in SD (480i/586i) in DVCPRO50, DVCPRO and DV. AVC-Intra, the industry's most advanced compression technology, is a professional intra-frame video codec with bit rates of 50 and 100 Mbps, utilizing the High-10 and High-422 profiles of H.264 respectively. AVC-Intra provides high-quality 10-bit intra-frame encoding in two modes: AVC-Intra 100 for full-raster mastering video quality and AVC-Intra 50 Mbps for DVCPRO HD quality at half the bit rate, thereby doubling the record time on a P2 card.

Designed for scripted programming, documentary, nature, cinema and commercial production, the master-quality HPX3100 offers new features including 24-bit audio in AVC-Intra 100/50, wireless metadata input capability via wireless LAN and a high-quality proxy recording (option). The HPX3100 is equipped with six advanced gamma settings, including Film-Rec 600% mode (made popular by the VariCam), film-like shutter controls and intuitive film camera-like operation. It also features a built-in reverse scan that allows unique setups such as mounting the camera upside down or usage of an ultra prime lens or an anamorphic lens adapter to create a 2.35:1 aspect image.
