The AG-HPG20 is a P2 portable recorder that records HD images with an AVC-Intra codec. It features a rugged body, two P2 card slots, a 3.5” LCD monitor and HD/SD multi-format recording. Its HD/SD SDI interface enables versatile line recording, and a USB 2.0 interface makes it easy to backup data onto an external hard-disk drive. A new HDD Preview* function also lets you preview P2 content stored on a hard-disk drive. These and other features allow the AG-HPG20 to handle a wide range of applications, including HD field recording, high-quality, large-screen playback and easy file transfers to a hard-disk drive or PC-based nonlinear editor.

New AVC-Intra Circuit Raises Image Quality and Lowers Power Consumption
The AVC-Intra codec in the AG-HPG20 provides high-quality HD recording with full 1920 x 1080/10-bit 4:2:2 sampling. This new AVC-Intra circuit also lowers power consumption at the same time.

P2 Portability Enhances Field Mobility
The solid-state memory card offers unparalleled reliability. Designed for professional applications, the P2 card combines inherent toughness with a large capacity and fast data transfers. The advanced file-based IT function further speeds up acquisition.

HD/SD SDI Input for Line Recording
The AG-HPG20 can be used both with a P2 cam and with a wide range of cameras/camcorders, including conventional tape-based models. Synchro backup enables Rec Start/Stop operation in sync with the Camcorder.

Easy File Previewing from an External HDD
The AG-HPG20 has a USB 2.0 interface and a new HDD Preview function that simplifies the playback* of P2 motion images from files copied to an external hard-disk drive.

*HDD Preview uses a lower frame rate to refresh the display.
