From now until September 30, 2010, you will receive a $700 rebate on the purchase of a new AGHMR10 AVCCAM recorder and an extra $300 rebate with the purchase of a new AG-HCK10 POVCAM camera.This is a total $1,000 rebate on the POVCAM system. 

Panasonic is extending to September 30, 2010 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 notion of what an HD camcorder can be is now changed forever. The AG-HMR10 & AG-HCK10 POVCAM offer a level of operation unachievable in a one piece camcorder. With a unique blend of high picture quality, small size and flexibility, the hand-held solid state HD recorder can go places where the camcorder shooter can’t go… or might not want to go.

This introduction is for two separate units. The AG-HMR10 AVCCAM HD recorder which is a highly
versatile and affordable compact hand held that will no doubt find itself used in many new and different
situations. With its HD-SDI In and Out, it can record HD signal outputs from a box camera, camcorder or
switcher and can be sold separately for countless HD applications.
The AG-HCK10 POVCAM Camera is amazingly small yet outputs Full HD through one of two available
detachable cables: a 3 Meter, or a 20 meter which is over 65 feet• (Many agencies such as the FAA require
the cable to be able to be disconnected.) It sports a 12x lens with Optical Image Stabilizer but that’s just
the beginning. It’s small size and lightweight allows it to go places larger camcorders can’t. It records in the
24, 30 or 60 frame mode with the AG-HMR10 recorder. Two great additions to the Videomaker’s toolbox•

Noteworthy Appeal of AVCHD
• AVCHD High Profile MPEG 4 H.264 codec: Twice the efficiency of older MPEG-2 used in HDV systems.
• Latest technology: Intra-frame Prediction, Variable Block Size Motion Compensation, Loop Filter Prevents the
Propagation of Compression Distortion and New Entropy Encoding ‘CABAC’.
• AVCHD content can be played directly from an SD card in a growing number of affordable devices.
• Solid State reliability: No issues with Temperature, Humidity, Vibration, Maintenance, Dropouts.
• Faster workflow – no ingest, random access to content, lower storage and distribution costs. Longer, recording time
for capturing uninterrupted, extended events; between 3 and 12 hours depending on bit rate chosen with a 32GB
SDHC card. The HMR10 is perfect for recording scenarios that are unattended.

Think…of all the possible HD Recording Applications
• Chuppah-cam / Altar-cam: Quite often the Bride’s mother may state:” There will be no photographers or
videographers up there with us!” Or perhaps the Priest or Pastor may say: “This ceremony will not
be turned into a Circus!” The AG-HMR10/AG-HCK10 is the perfect solution for this common
problematic situation.
• With a monopod to get a clear shot of a hidden subject (Small & lightweight camera body)
• To easily observe and record hard-to-see locations (see under or over obstacles) while monitoring
• Install the camera and leave it running to record long surgeries with no fuss (up to 12 hours)
• Monitor an operation on the AG-HMR10, a monitor (HD-SDI) or TV screen (HDMI) inside or outside
the operating room
• High-quality still photos can be captured from the video, and printed or digitally shared
• Dashboardcam: Use the AG-HCK10 on the dashboard to record a a driver and passenger in a car
• Record wildlife without being noticed or disturbing their natural habitat. (Silent &10’ or 65’ cable)
• A night-vision adapter is also under development to allow for recording of nocturnal animals
• The AG-HCK10 camera can be mounted on a robot for unmanned surveillance (65’ cable)
• Mount the AG-HCK10 in a secondary location allowing for an overall view of the event
• The AG-HMR10 can be mounted to any camera with HD-SDI making a second master in AVCHD
• Mounted in a racecar, on a skateboard, bicycle or on a motorcycle it can provide an official record of the race
• Get shots from angles where it would be impractical or impossible to have a camera operator
• Mounted to helmets or other sports equipment for recording of extreme sports or adventures
• In a waterproof housing to check the underside of boats, inspect sewers, etc,
• To get HD footage of fish, divers, or other underwater scenes while operator stays dry
• While dubbing a tape for delivery, make an extra copy to SD card for easy sharing and play back
(Dalies)
• Record the same video that is projected on a large screen at a concert or church service
• HD video can be played back on a a monitor or projector located up to 300 feet away• (HD-SDI Output)
• Mount on a fire engine• Record the fire crew’s activities that can be used later for training
• Attach the camera (AG-HCK10) to the exterior of a vehicle with the HMR10 in the interior. The crew
inside the vehicle can watch the LCD screen or attach it to a larger monitor to check the status of
the road underneath.
• As you can see, there are many solutions that POVCAM can provide to your customers to make it an
instant hit with a wide range of AV Shooters, Indie Creators, Institutional users and Event Video
professionals.

Dynamic Range Stretch
With the AG-HCK10 connected and DRS ON, your customer 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.
