It does not require a special HD tape and accepts ordinary DVCPRO tape
The Panasonic HD Camcorder accepts ordinary DVCPRO tape. It does not require a special HD tape which makes it very cost effective as it cuts down the recurring expenditure. At this point in time, when the move to solid-state, hard-drive, and disk-based capture appears to be inexorable, the HDX900 may well be amongst the minority of tape-based HD broadcast cameras which is very much IT-focused. It is the first DVCPRO HD shoulder-held camerarecorder to come equipped with IEEE 1394 digital output, offering simultaneous output via FireWire which integrates nicely into a web streaming or harddrive recording environment. With one-shot and interval recording, and seven-second pre-record functions, the HDX900 is hardly your father's

camcorder or even your camcorder from a few years ago.
The Camera offers simultaneous output via FireWire
AJ-HDX 900 Camera in fact is a video camera version of the famous Panasonic Varicam Camcorder developed by Panasonic for film production. It produces a fine picture tonal quality matching to film with natural shading & rich colures giving pleasing HD pictures which can be down converted to give stunning SD pictures for transmission. With a new film like gamma curve with three choices and a newly developed dynamic range stretching (DRS) function, it meets the requirement of all types of high-end production. The AJ-HDX900 is also compatible with a newly developed Remote Control Unit (RCU), for added operational and functional flexibility and can also be used as Studio Camera for multi-camera production.
records full production-quality (4:2:2) video at 100 Mbps by using DVCPRO HD compression codec on quarter inch width metal particle tape. Camera has 2/3 three progressive CCDs of 1 Mega pixels each which capture the pictures in native progressive mode. It is a 14 bit A/D Camera. With exceptional sensitivity of F10 at 2000 lx, Camera captures outstanding pictures in lighting as low as 0.032 Lx. As the perfect complement to the AJ-HDX900, Panasonic is making the AJ-HD1400 compact recorder. With these two high cost-performance units, Panasonic is offering a versatile, high-quality HD production system at the cost of almost SD production.
AJ-HDX900 brings serious production capability to prospective owner/operators, rental houses, and production companies
Combining the virtues of low price and high performance, the HDX900 brings serious production capability to prospective owner/operators, rental houses, and production companies who derive the bulk of their income from cable, news magazine, and corporate programming indeed anyone with an eyepiece on the bottom line.
