To learn what makes AVCCAM so powerful,
For Current Pricing and Availability:
Panasonic AG-HMC150
Why? Simply because the AG-HMC150 offers an unheard of Bang for the Buck, in a 1/3” three-chip hand held tapeless HD camcorder, while retaining the core versatility of the DVX100B. The HMC150 sports a 28mm lens right out of the box and a new PH Record
mode (21 Mbps) which offers higher resolution with a host of recording formats including 24p. Add to that,
amazing low light performance, long record & battery time and professional Audio capabilities at a price that
will make it an instant hit with a wide range of AV Shooters, Indie Creators and Event Video professionals.
The AG-HMC150 represents a major step forward in the introduction of a next generation solid state HD
camera that extends the six year successful track record of the popular DVX100 plus a lot more. The
HMC150’s lightweight (lightest 1/3” 3CCD available), well-balanced professional design features a high
performance wide-angle Leica 13x zoom lens, 24 and 30 frame progressive capture both in 720 and 1080
formats making it perfect for even high level projects. Designed from a clean sheet of paper with much
customer input to our product development engineers, the HMC150 sports a Die Cast Alloy chassis and a
Three year warranty (upon end user registration) that further endorses its reliability.

recording media, the AG-HMC150 is as easy to use as a digital still camera. The content recorded on the SD
card can be directly played on a growing number of affordable consumer players, including select models of
Playstation 3, Blu-ray players, plasma screens and PC’s. With most NLE systems now supporting AVCHD,
content can be edited and rendered to play in any type of SD or HD playback system
With DRS ON the AG=HMC150 can capture better Video quality when shooting bright, halftone and dark objects in
the same frame. (Bride’s white gown details and the Groom’s shades of tuxedo black.) This clever circuit
estimates the gamma curve and knee slope of each pixel’s brightness and applies the estimate on a real time
basis. The result is more accurate Video with a visually wider dynamic range.
With 14 bit Analog to Digital conversion and 19 bit Video processing, your customers can shoot in low light
situations with virtiually no fear of video noise detracting from the highly detailed video. They can also forget
about the 63 minute record time limit of DV & HDV and the need to estimate remaining battery life. The new
Info Data battery system used in the AVCCAM line up updates remaining time left to the minute.
Two locking XLR inputs at the front, complete with hard switches for Line and Mic with +48V Phantom Power,
Manual level controls, and Internal/External assignment. Up & down volume adjustments can be made to the
internal speaker or stereo headphone output.
Solid state capture and playback eliminates the problems inherent in tape and disc drives, while allowing
high quality HD content to be captured on affordable, readily available SD cards
Its 21 Mbps PH mode records far higher picture quality than HDV Tape systems
MPEG-2 compression works with blocks of only 16 X 16 pixels whereas H.264 compression works with
blocks down to 4 X 4 pixels. What’s more, AVCHD’s motion prediction is content dependant
