Panasonic HD AJ-D610WBE DVCPRO Camera

Model Details

The AJ-D610WA 2/3″ IT 3CCD DVCPRO camcorder provides independent producers and local broadcasters the capability to shoot in 4:3 aspect ratio or 16:9 widescreen. This unit combines high-sensitivity 2/3″ 520,000 pixel IT 3CCDs with DVCPRO’s Emmy Award-winning digital component recording quality to offer a high performance camcorder for independent producers, corporate video departments, and local cable and broadcast facilities.

Features:

• Wide-Screen and Standard Aspect Ratios – 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratios can be selected as needed for programs designed for DTV channels and/or traditional television programming
• 2/3 inch IT Imager (3-CCD) – A high sensitivity 520,000 pixel imager with native 16:9 aspect ratio delivers wide dynamic range, high performance pictures in all shooting conditions
• 750 lines Horizontal Resolution – Designed to provide super sharp images, the AJ-D610WA delivers exceptionally clean, sharp pictures comparable to that of any high performance standard-definition camera on the market
• Excellent Sensitivity – While an high sensitivity rating of F11 @ 2000 lux allows for shooting low to moderate ambient light levels, an impressive 63 dB signal-to-noise ratio translates to low noise pictures and better compression
• Minimum Illumination – With 36 dB gain in place and lens wide open (F1.4), the AJ-D610WA allows for shooting in near dark (0.5 lux) environments
• Low-Smear – New generation IT Imagers produce smear free images under wide dynamic range shooting conditions
• High Gain – When shooting in wide-ranging light-level conditions, optimize signal levels by choosing from -3 dB to +30 dB in seven steps
• 66 Minutes record time
• Electronic Shutter – A user-settable electronic shutter allows speeds from 1/100 to 1/2000 second, which serve to reduce blur on fast moving objects
• Synchro-Scan – This subset of the electronic shutter allows for very fine increments to be selected from a range of 1/60.8 to 1/250 seconds
• Scene File – Camera set-ups can be saved on a conveniently removable PCMCIA Memory card, allowing swift access to user-designed camera settings for given scenes, or matching multiple cameras with the same look
• Super Iris – To compensate for backlighting conditions, the Super Iris mode opens the iris the necessary amount to bring the subject matter up to proper levels
• Small Size, Light Weight – Compact, solidly built and comfortable to use, the steadfast AJ-D610WA weighs in at a scant 14.5 lbs.
• Low Power Consumption – Pulling only 24 Watts power fully loaded, a longer battery life can be realized
• Dual Filter Wheels – Both neutral density and color correction filter wheels are accessible and support 4 positions with two memory sets each wheel position
• Solid, Dependable Recordings – A wealth of built-in digital and mechanical safeguards ensures a flawless recording even in adverse environmental conditions
• 2/3 inch standard lens mount
• Digital Audio Recordings – Two channels of digital audio run 16-bit / 48 kHz sampling and 20 dB of headroom
