Full 10-bit, 4:2:2 professional HD camcorder. With 17x interchangeable lens, three 1/3" 2.2-megapixel 3-CMOS imagers and full 1920x1080, 10-bit 4:2:2 AVC-Intra recording. The HPX300 brings true master-quality HD recording within your reach -- all with the benefit of P2's faster, independent frame, file-based workflow.
In a field of its own, the HPX300 delivers impressive, high-resolution recording using AVC-Intra and industry-standard DVCPRO HD, but also supports standard definition recording in DVCPRO50, DVCPRO and DV formats for complete flexibility. The multi-format camcorder also offers native 24p (23.98 fps), making it an affordable digital cinema solution for indie film production.
Its newly designed 3-CMOS imager utilizes a redesigned optical block, high-precision prism bonding and a new 20-bit digital signal processor (DSP) to provide exceptional image quality while minimizing any flare and chromatic aberration. Its high resolution LCOS color viewfinder (1,226,000-dot) and 3.2-inch LCD color monitor (921,000-dot) provide clear image reproduction even when shooting in bright outdoor areas.
The HPX300 offers a broad range of creative features including variable frame rates, six advanced gamma functions, Chromatic Aberration Compensation (CAC), built-in scan reverse, Dynamic Range Stretch (DRS) function, waveform and vector scope display and focus assist tools.
