Panasonic is extending to September 30th the offer of free Grass Valley EDIUS Neo 2 editing software with the purchase of an AVCCAM camcorder or handheld recorder. EDIUS Neo 2 software is included in the box at the time of purchase, but a user will need to activate it via the Panasonic PASS support web site. Users who have purchased an AG-HMC70, AG-HMC40 or AG-HMC150 AVCCAM camcorder or the AG-HMR10 recorder will receive a product serial number to allow them to install the software after registering their product at the PASS website.

The Most Affordable Professional HD Camcorder on the Market!
Panasonic has added a new lower price to the AG-HMC70  to go along with its high resolution, more accurate colorimetry, longer recording time and professional Audio capabilities.

Using the latest in compression technology (AVC High Profile) and recording on
inexpensive, widely available Solid State SD memory cards, it surpasses tape
systems based on older MPEG2 technology.
The content recorded on the SD card can be directly played on a growing number
of affordable consumer players including Blu-ray players, Plasma screens, Playstation 3PC’s or the
camcorder itself.
With BNC type Video & Component output connectors this amazing camcorder can also be used to provide
live video to a wide range of HD Projectors & Plasmas for auditoriums and other staging applications.

Professionals Need Great Audio
Shooters can capture & monitor truly high quality audio found only in professional
cameras costing many times more. Two locking XLR inputs at the rear, complete with
hard switches for Mic, Line, +48V Phantom Power, Auto/Manual level, Mic Attenuation
and Front/Rear assignment. There’s even a Headphone Volume Control to match the
Camera’s output to the Shooters’ particular stereo headphones.

Advantages of Shoulder Mount
More stable shooting, “On The Job Respect”, Security, more space for switches, controls and connectors
