Panasonic AG-DVX100 補足マニュアル

Panasonic designed the AG-DVX100B
to deliver the highest sensitivity and
picture quality in its class. At its heart is
a 3CCD RGB system comprising three
1/3-inch, 410,000-pixel progressive
CCDs developed especially for
broadcast and professional
applications.  The new on-chip lens
design achieves high F11 sensitivity,
allowing the AG-DVX100B to record in

light as dim as below three lux, for example, in nighttime news
gathering. Picture quality is outstanding, with a high S/N ratio that
means less noise in darker parts of the image and low smear that allows
shooting in sunlight or under bright spotlights. 

The slow shutter function uses image accumulation to enable shutter
speeds with frame rates reduced by half or more. You get the ultra-high
sensitivity needed for nighttime shooting without illumination, as well
as dramatic frame-by-frame or soft focus effects.

The AG-DVX100B features an A/D converter that uses the same 12-bit
processing as broadcast camera-recorders. Precisely digitizing the
gradation and colors captured by the progressive CCD, this A/D
converter supports gamma switching and other fine downstream image
adjustments — one of the keys to achieving rich image expression.

Panasonic has greatly expanded the expressive capability of the DV
camera by creating unique gamma functions such as Cine-Like gamma
curves, which produce images strikingly similar in tone to film images.
For each of the RGB signals, the gamma curve settings are processed
immediately upstream from the digital signal processing circuit. This
helps achieve outstanding image quality.
The AG-DVX100B continues with the tradition of the seven gamma
curves pioneered with the DVX100A.

Choose from three shooting modes: 24p (24 fps, progressive) for images
with the look and motion of film movies, 30p (30 fps, progressive), or
standard 60i (60 fps, interlace). Thanks to its progressive CCD, 
the AG-DVX100B creates native progressive images with outstanding
vertical resolution — unlike images produced using conventional

electronic interpolation. With its high mobility and low costs, 
the AG-DVX100B is the ideal tool for producing indies, shorts, or
streaming video.

In 24p mode, images from the CCD can be 2:3 pulldown-converted
(24p Mode) or 2:3:3:2 pulldown-converted (24p Advance Mode) and
recorded onto tape in the standard 60i TV format. The tape can then be
played back or edited using an ordinary DV system. True 24p editing
can be achieved by uploading 2:3:3:2 pulldown-converted images via
an IEEE 1394 DV interface to a compatible non-linear editing system.*
The 24p Advance Mode allows 60i/24p conversion with minimal
picture degradation and on the fly 24 frame extraction.

*Systems Compatible with 24PA as of June 2005:

Apple Power Mac G4/G5 with FCP 4, Avid Xpress Pro, Adobe Premiere Pro, Sonic Solutions Vegas

•Optimized color separation optics help provide true-to-life colors
•"Enriched" Matrix setting offers more saturated colors
•Adjustable V detail level (edge correction in vertical direction), H/V

detail balance, and detail coring (detail noise removal)

•Knee point (luminance compression) settings –

Auto, Low, Mid and High

•Focus assist*
•Gain up (+12 dB max.)
•SMPTE Color bar display and output

*Auto focus in 24p/30p mode requires slightly more focusing time than in 60i mode.
