Workshop

Panasonic AG-HPX170P Camera Clinic

SAW Video has made an exciting new addition to our camera inventory with the purchase of the Panasonic AG-HPX170P. The HPX170P is an ultra portable, tapeless, 1080p capable camcorder that records broadcast quality, full resolution HD (DVC PRO HD) onto memory-based P2 cards. Based on the AG-HVX200 series, the lighter HPX170 is fully solid state (no DV mechanism), and comes with a host of enhancements including a new 1/3" progressive 3-CCD 16:9 imager system, and a built-in waveform monitor and vectorscope. The HPX170 can record in 20 different HD and SD formats - from 1080i, 1080p, 720p to 480i. While in 720p mode 20-step frame rate selection is available from 12 to 60 fps for variable-speed.

This 3 hour clinic will cover basic operation of the camera, its various modes and functions, and will largely focus on tapeless workflow. Successful completion of a SAW Video HPX170P Camera Clinic is mandatory in order to rent the HPX170P, so this workshop is a must for anyone planning on using this camera.

This workshop is being delivered at the intermediate-advanced level. Successful completion of SAW Video's Intro to Video Production workshop or demonstrated knowledge and experience with at least basic video production is a required pre-requisite.
