Latest News
We have recently aquired the latest Panasonic P2 HD tapeless camcorder the AJ - HPx3000

With P2 HD, you'll enjoy the unmatched reliability of solid-state technology with lower operating costs and the advantages of environmentally responsible operation.

Fast file-based IT Workflow

You’ll enjoy P2 HD’s fast, file-based workflow for acquiring, recording, transferring, storing and archiving video. P2 cards eliminate the need for a special deck and the time required for content ingest. Content can be stored on any off-the-shelf data storage device, including hard drives, optical disc, flash memory devices, tape backup and future data storage technologies. Unlike with tape or disc, as technology evolves, a producer will never need to worry if they will have the video deck from which to retrieve their valuable content. P2 HD records data in files and allows direct edits, with no need for digitizing before editing. P2 HD provides compatibility and immediate connectivity to your existing IT infrastructure, as well as full interoperability with current leading NLE systems. This means you have the versatility and compatibility to shoot in familiar, production-quality DVCPRO HD, DVCPRO50 or DVCPRO 25 and then move to full-raster AVC-Intra when you are ready.New 2.2 Million Pixel CCDs and AVC-I team up to deliver Panasonic's first Native 1080p* capable camera, and full 10 bit 1920x1080 recording.

AJ-HPX3000 Camcorder

Panasonic developed the AJ-HPX3000 with the goal of achieving the industry's best-ever HD recording quality in a one-piece camcorder.

This advanced memory card camera-recorder uses three high-density, 2.2-million-pixel CCDs to produce full-raster, 1920 x 1080 HD images. These high resolution 1080 images are then recorded using full sampling (10-bit/4:2:2) based on advanced AVCIntra intra-frame compression technology. The result is a camera-recorder that approaches stunning D-5 HD-level images.

The AJ-HPX3000 backs this performance with a host of features that support high-end program production. Picture-enhancing technologies include Chromatic Aberration Compensation and multigamma settings complete with Film-Rec mode. Its 60/50 Hz switching allows use anywhere in the world, and recording is possible in SD (DVCPRO 50, 480i/576i). It has five slots to accommodate 64GB P2 cards to provide you extended recording time.

Portable Location Editing

Utilizing the latest Final Cut Pro editing software running on our 17inch Apple Mac book pro, we are able to offer portable location editing anywhere in the world. With the addition of a portable Sony DSRV10 DVCAM VTR recoder we are now able to offer fast turnaround shoot/edit services - especially attractive to TV news and corporate clients.
