The Panasonic AJ-SDX900, a SDTV camera that combines the "look and feel" of electronic film, is now available.

The AJ-SDX900 has an operator-controllable selection of EFP-quality 4:2:2 sampled DVCPRO50 or classic 4:1:1 sampled DVCPRO recording. It can feature a native 16:9 wide-screen or conventional 4:3 aspect ratios.

The first broadcast-grade standard definition camcorder offers film-like 24 frames per second progressive scan (480/24p) acquisition, in addition to 30 frames per second progressive (480/30p) and 60 fields-per-second interlace scan capture.

Advanced 12-bit A/D DSP signal processing circuits provide improved picture quality, color expression and luma gradation.

It is equipped with a super gain function and a new time-accumulate digital super gain allowing an additional gain o f +20dB (at 6 fps) that permits ultra-high sensitive shooting for night-time acquisition.
