The Image Quality, Mobility and Versatility that Professionals Need
The AG-DVX100 shattered conventional notions of what a DV camera-recorder could do, delivering image quality, functions and
operating ease suitable for professional applications. As the first model in its class to offer the 24p/30p Cinema mode,
the AG-DVX100 was particularly well received by filmmakers and image creators. Now, Panasonic introduces the AG-DVX100A.
This advanced new model takes the DV camera a big step forward, retaining the popular features of its predecessor while adding
enhancements that reflect feedback from professionals who used the AG-DVX100.The AG-DVX100A offers higher image quality
and more functions than its predecessor. Even more important, it provides high-level specifications and design improvements that
cater to the needs of professional camera operators. Mobile, versatile and easy to use, the Diamond Graphite AG-DVX100A has
everything you need for creative content production and active image gathering.
Enhanced 24p/30p Progressive Mode Functions
Focus assist, gain up (+12 dB max.), and a SMPTE color bar display have
been added to enhance shooting in 24p/30p Progressive mode.
Improved Color Reproduction
Optimized color separation optics and a new high-performance lens that
uses low-dispersion glass combine to capture vivid, faithful colors.
New Cine-Like Gamma Curves and Enhanced Image
Adjustments
New modes have been added to the gamma curve and matrix settings.
New V DTL Level, Coring, and Knee adjustments have also been added.
Slow Shutter Function for Higher Sensitivity and
Dramatic Effects
The slow shutter (accumulative mode) drops the shutter speed to 1/4 sec,
1/6 sec, etc., for higher sensitivity low light shooting and dramatic, frame-
by-frame like effects.
Smoother Zooming and Focusing
The operating feel of the manual zoom and manual focus ring has been
further enhanced. You feel virtually the same steady resistance as when
using a conventional professional lens. Slow zoom has been extended from
20 seconds to a dramatic 30 second duration.
Focus Assist and New Recording Mode for Improved
Ease and Versatility
The viewfinder features a B/W display mode and detail (PEAKING) function
for easier focusing. Three user-assignable buttons (USER1, USER2, USER3)
give you instant, one-touch access to three setup functions. A new 15-sec
interval recording mode has also been added.
New Squeeze Mode for 16:9 Recording
The AG-DVX100A provides high-quality wide-image recording in letterbox
mode, the new squeeze mode, or with the optional 16:9 conversion lens
(sold separately)

microphone AG-MC100G.

Ultimate Creativity
Image quality that far exceeds anything in its class, plus an evolved 24p/30p progressive function
Superior Image Rendering with the Leica Dicomar™ Lens, Plus OIS
The Leica Dicomar lens featured in the AG-DVX100A incorporates
Leica optical technology and know-how. Use of low-dispersion glass
reduces color aberration and increases resolution, while a multi-coating
process minimizes flare and ghosts. The results are sharp, crisp,
beautifully rendered images with delicate nuances and exceptional
shading. The lens system features 15 lens elements in 11 groups,
including three aspherical lenses. Panasonic's advanced OIS (Optical
Image Stabilizer) drastically cuts the blurring caused by hand shake.
Optical processing with an automatic correction function helps assure
consistently clear, sharp images.

410,000-Pixel, 3CCD Image System Provides F11 Sensitivity for
Superior Image Quality
Panasonic designed the AG-DVX100A
to deliver the highest sensitivity and
picture quality in its class. At its heart is
a 3CCD RGB system comprising three
1/3-inch, 410,000-pixel progressive
CCDs developed especially for
broadcast and professional
applications. The new on-chip lens
design achieves high F11 sensitivity, allowing the AG-DVX100A to
record in light as dim as below three lux, for example, in nighttime
news gathering. Picture quality is outstanding, with a high S/N ratio that
means less noise in darker parts of the image and low smear that allows
shooting in sunlight or under bright spotlights.
High-Sensitivity Slow Shutter (in cumulative) Function
The slow shutter function uses image accumulation to enable shutter
speeds with frame rates reduced by half or more. You get the ultra-high
sensitivity needed for nighttime shooting without illumination, as well
as dramatic frame-by-frame or soft focus effects.
High Image Quality with 12-Bit A/D Conversion
The AG-DVX100A features an A/D converter that uses the same 12-bit
processing as broadcast camera-recorders. Precisely digitizing the
gradation and colors captured by the progressive CCD, this A/D
converter supports gamma switching and other fine downstream image
adjustments — one of the keys to achieving rich image expression.
RGB Gamma Processor Provides Rich, Cine-Like Tones
Panasonic has greatly expanded the expressive
capability of the DV camera by creating
unique gamma functions such as Cine-Like
gamma curves, which produce images
strikingly similar in tone to film images. For
each of the RGB signals, the gamma curve
settings are processed immediately upstream
from the digital signal processing circuit. This
helps achieve outstanding image quality.
The AG-DVX100A now introduces three new
gamma curve settings — Cine-Like-D, Cine-
Like-V, and B.Press — giving you a total of seven to work with.
CINE-LIKE Film-like images
CINE-LIKE-D The Cine-Like mode shifted to prioritize dynamic range
CINE-LIKE-V The Cine-Like mode shifted to prioritize contrast
LOW Images with strong black contrast
B.PRESS Images with even stronger black contrast
NORM Standard video gamma
HIGH Bright images with enhanced gradation in dark portions
and soft contrast
High-Quality, Native Progressive 24p/30p Mode
Choose from three shooting modes: 24p (24 fps, progressive) for images
with the look and motion of film movies, 30p (30 fps, progressive), or
standard 60i (60 fps, interlace). Thanks to its progressive CCD,
the AG-DVX100A creates native progressive images with outstanding
vertical resolution — unlike images produced using conventional
electronic interpolation. With its high mobility and low costs,
the AG-DVX100A is the ideal tool for producing indies, shorts, or
streaming video.

24p/30p Shooting Functions for
Professionals
Acting on requests from professional users, Panasonic gave
the AG-DVX100A several functions that improve shooting ease in
24p/30p Progressive mode.
•Focus assist*
•Gain up (+12 dB max.)
•SMPTE Color bar display and output
*Auto focus in 24p/30p mode requires slightly more focusing time than in 60i mode.
24p Advance Mode — For 24p Non-Linear Editing
In 24p mode, images from the CCD can be 2:3 pulldown-converted
(24p Mode) or 2:3:3:2 pulldown-converted (24p Advance Mode) and
recorded onto tape in the standard 60i TV format. The tape can then be
played back or edited using an ordinary DV system. True 24p editing
can be achieved by uploading 2:3:3:2 pulldown-converted images via
an IEEE1394 DV interface to a compatible non-linear editing system.*
The 24p Advance Mode allows 60i/24p conversion with minimal image
degradation.
*Systems compatible with 24p Advance Mode (as of July 2003):
•Apple Power Mac G4/G5 and Final Cut Pro 4. •Avid Xpress Pro.

Ideal for Active Use
Improvements in operating ease, mobility and reliability make the AG-DVX100A ideal for professionals.
Wide-Angle/Zoom Lens Answers Professional Needs
The AG-DVX100A's zoom lens extends all the way to 4.5 mm
(equivalent to 32.5mm on a 35mm lens), covering the full wide-angle
range needed in most broadcast and professional shooting. It gives you
ample range for close-ups, recording in small rooms, and self-recorded
interviews. There's no need to carry around a bulky wide-angle
conversion lens. And with a minimum object distance (MOD) of
approximately 0.6 meter (1.9 ft) in telephoto mode, the AG-DVX100A
has the maneuverability of a handheld camera.
Fast, Smooth Cam-Driven Manual Zoom
The cam-driven (mechanical) manual zoom ring provides the same
smooth, easy zooming as cameras with interchangeable lenses.
Its direct operation gives you fast, precise zooming control. You'll also
notice the AG-DVX100A's improved operating feel. When you turn the
zoom ring, you experience the similar steady resistance as with familiar
35mm lenses.
The AG-DVX100A is also equipped with a servo-driven zoom that
allows slow zooming at a speed of approximately 50% slower than its
predecessor. Slowest zoom has been reduced to a dramatic 30 seconds
from 20 seconds.
Focus Assist
Enjoy quick, sharp focusing manually or automatically. In manual
mode, the focus ring provides the similar operating feel and responsive
control as conventional cameras with interchangeable lenses. In auto
mode, you get the quick, sharp focusing needed in news gathering or
when shooting at a high or low angle.
When set to infinity, the focal distance is immediately prepared for the
next manual focus. When in manual mode, pressing the Push Auto
button temporarily activates auto focus.
Macro Focus can be achieved either Manually or Automatically when
the zoom lens is in the wide angle position.
Three User Buttons for Customized Operation
The AG-DVX100A provides three user buttons, each of which can be
assigned any one of the 11 functions described below.
The assigned functions can then be accessed at the touch of a
button. This lets you customize the AG-DVX100A for quicker,
easier, more versatile operation.

3-Position White Balance with Auto Tracking White Function
One press of the AWB button is all it takes to adjust the white balance
and black balance. There are three white balance values to select from:
one that's preset, and two (A, B) that you can set and save in memory.
The auto tracking white balance (ATW) function can also be assigned to
any of the three positions. The ATW mode supports fast, active shooting
by adjusting the white balance in real-time as lighting conditions
change.
Auto Button for Instant, Easy Shooting
Just press the Auto button to turn on Auto Iris, Auto Gain, Auto Tracking
White Balance, and Auto Focus — and you are quickly ready to shoot.
You can also customize the Auto button by removing functions and
setting the gain to any value desired.
With this new Auto function, the AG-DVX100A gives you the best of
both worlds -- the speed and ease of automatic operation, and the
precision of manual control.

Magnesium Alloy Chassis
– The Rugged Durability Professionals Need
The AG-DVX100A features the
same magnesium alloy diecast
chassis as our DVCPRO
broadcast models. This tough,
rigid unit protects the high-
precision mechanism, giving
the AG-DVX100A outstanding
reliability and durability.
Built for professionals,
the AG-DVX100A stands up to
the bumps and jolts that occur in the field.
Highly Reliable DV Mechanism
Panasonic chose a DV
mechanism for the
AG-DVX100A because of its
superior mobility, low running
costs, extended recording
capability, and easy tape
availability. However, for the
AG-DVX100A we developed a
greatly enhanced, vastly more
reliable mechanism than the
ones used in home DV cameras
and recorders. To minimize
dropout and head clogging, we incorporated the same forward cleaning
head and automatic head cleaning function found in DVCPRO models.
The sturdy loading system allows quick tape changes.
Lightweight Design with Balanced Grip
The AG-DVX100A introduces a new design that ends the contradiction
between a compact, lightweight body and a stable, secure hold. The
center of balance is located precisely at the handgrip. Because there's
no need for a wide-angle conversion lens, the weight balance is ideal
for comfortable shooting. The AG-DVX100A's short body and light
weight — it weighs only 4.189 lb (1.9Kg) in operating condition* —
means free, easy maneuverability. Plus, the low-center-of-gravity design
and new skeleton lens hood greatly improve forward vision.

Ideal for Active Use
Improvements in operating ease, mobility and reliability make the AG-DVX100A ideal for professionals.
XLR Audio Input with +48-V Phantom Power Supply
In addition to built-in stereo microphones, the AG-DVX100A is
equipped with two XLR audio input terminals with a 48-V phantom
power supply for broadcast use. The terminals are positioned low on
the camera to minimize the possibility of the cables being snagged
when a hand mic is in use. Both input 1 and input 2 can be switched
between line and mic, and Audio is locked to the Video unlike
consumer DV camcorders.
Large Audio Dials and Flexible Input Selection
The AG-DVX100A has the same
kind of large level-adjustment dials
as DVCPRO camera-recorders.
This practical new design
incorporates professional
operating features that have been
refined over years of use on
location. A switch lets you select built-in mic, input 1, or input 2 for the
audio input of both left and right channels. Auto gain level control can
be turned on and off, and the input mic level (–50 dB/–60 dB) can be
selected from the menu.
Three 16:9 Wide Modes, Including the New Squeeze Mode
The AG-DVX100A has three modes
for shooting 16:9 wide images. Use
the optional 16:9 conversion lens
(AG-LA7200G, sold separately) to
take full advantage of the higher
image quality made possible by
using all of the CCD pixels. With the
standard lens*, you can record in
letterbox mode or the newly added
squeeze mode. This gives you extra
flexibility when using the AG-
DVX100A together with equipment
from other manufacturers.
*Vertical resolution with the standard lens is slightly lower than with the 16:9 conversion lens. However,
when recording in progressive mode rather than interlace mode, the difference is barely perceptible.
Large Electronic Viewfinder
The large viewfinder is easy to see
through, even with your eye at a slight
distance, and it tilts upward
100° for easy low-angle
shots. The AG-DVX100A
also adds a B/W display
mode*, detail (PEAKING)
function, and image adjustment
menu.
*With the same high resolution as the color display
3.5" Color LCD Monitor
The large 3.5" color LCD monitor rotates 270°. This improves shooting
flexibility by making it easier to monitor high-angle shots or self
recordings. The display is bright, too, for easy viewing when monitoring
images or selecting the menu settings. The AG-DVX100A also
introduces a new detail (PEAKING) function that helps assure a sharp,
easy-to-see display.
Built-In SMPTE Time Code Generator/Reader
The AG-DVX100A records an SMPTE-compliant VTC onto the sub-code
area of the tape. Select from DF/NDF and Free Run/Rec Run modes, and
use preset or regen. User bits (UB) are also provided, letting you record
your choice of date, time, TC value, frame rate, or user data.
External Backup with the IEEE 1394 Synchro Lock Function
The AG-DVX100A comes equipped with an IEEE 1394-compliant 4-pin
DV terminal that makes it easy to upload data to a PC and dub onto a
DV recorder. This terminal also features a new synchro lock function
that allows the AG-DVX100A to remotely start and stop an external DV
device connected to it via a DV cable. Three recording modes help
protect against mistakes: record only onto the external recorder, record
onto both the AG-DVX100A and the external recorder, begin external
recording when the AG-DVX100A tape ends.
Interval Recording and One-Shot Recording
The AG-DVX100A's interval recording works much like a time-lapse
VTR and offers exceptionally high quality. Use it to observe the growth
of a plant, monitor progress at a construction site, or for a frame-by-
frame recording effect. Recording times can be set from 0.5 to 2
seconds, at intervals from 15 seconds to 10 minutes. There's also a
One-Shot mode — for animation film making — that records for the set
number of seconds each time the Start/Stop button is pressed.
Recessed Trigger and Zoom Control on Upper Handle Grip
In addition to the lens grip, the
upper part of the handle grip
contains both the Rec Start/Stop
button and a lens zoom control.
This design assures easy shooting
even at low angles or when using a
tripod. The zoom speed can be set
to any of three speed levels or off.
