“The HPX370 camera shines for us in rigorous shooting conditions.”

The AG-HPX370 P2 HD shoulder-mount camcorder provides the ultra reliability of a solid-state design and the faster speed of a file-based workflow — all at a price that will surprise you. The multi-format HPX370 records in master-quality AVC-Intra, industry-standard DVCPRO HD, as well as in standard definition DVCPRO50, DVCPRO and DV formats. The camera also offers superb performance in native 24p (23.98 fps), making it an affordable digital cinema camera for indie film production. Its lightweight, low-profile design makes it comfortable to use for long periods and its power consumption is only 18 watts. Comes standard with high-performance 17x HD Fujinon lens. Master-quality video in a reliable, comfortable, shoulder-mount camcorder is just another way we’re engineering a better world.

  2.2-megapixel 3-chip Imager

  Its advanced 1/3” 2.2-megapixel 3-MOS imagers feature Ultra Luminance Technology (U.L.T) to deliver exceptional video performance for master-quality HD production. The HPX370 utilizes a 20-bit digital signal processor and high-res 3-MOS imagers, enhanced with U.L.T. to boost the sensors’ performance to rival the image quality and sensitive of ½” imagers. The U.L.T. sensor results in marked improvements in sensitivity, measured at F10. It comes equipped with flash band detection and compensation software built-in for improved CMOS performance.

  AVC-Intra Image Quality

  It offers 10-bit, 4:2:2, full 1920 x 1080-resolution AVC-Intra recording with impressive levels of sensitivity and an interchangeable lens. The AVC-Intra codec is unrivaled for its full-raster, 10-bit, 4:2:2 sampling with none of the inherent compromises of 8-bit, long GOP and 4:2:0 recording.
