The HPX500 offers the outstanding benefits of P2 solid state recording including ultra-fast IT workflow and no-moving-parts reliability, which makes the camera ideal for use in harsh environments.

At only 8.2 pounds, the HPX500 features a high-performance digital signal processor (DSP) with 14-bit A/D conversion and 19-bit processing that handles HD/SD format conversion simultaneously – ensuring spectacular images in all video formats for applications ranging from news acquisition, independent filmmaking, corporate video, sports and much more. To give your productions tremendous flexibility, the HPX500 records in over 32 HD and SD formats. The camcorder records on re-usable, removable P2 cards.

  • Records in 1080/60i, 50i, 30p, 25p and 24p; in 720/60p, 50p, 30p, 25p and 24p; and in DVCPRO50, DVCPRO and DV

  • Excellent low-light performance and a high sensitivity of F10

  • Equipped with eight gamma modes, including CineGamma, for different shooting situations

  • Like the AJ-HDC27 VariCam camera, variable frame rates in 11 steps between 12p and 60p allows undercranking / overcranking for fast- or slow-motion effects

  • Users have immediate access to P2 content with clip thumbnail view and advanced recording features including hot swapping, loop record, shot-marking, pre-record functions (three seconds in HD and seven seconds in SD), one-shot and interval.

  • Key interfaces include IEEE 1394, USB 2.0, HD SDI/SDI, genlock, built-in SMPTE timecode, independent TC-IN/TC-OUT terminals, composite video, analog component and four audio XLR inputs

  • 4-position Neural Density filter

  • Low power consumption of 22 watts (when 3.5" LCD monitor and 1.5" viewfinder are in use)

  • 3.5" color LCD screen (with image flip function) located at rear of the camera

  • Chromatic Aberration Compensation function allows the camera to automatically compensate the registration error that is caused mainly by lens chromatic aberration and minimize the circumjacent blur.

  • Remote controllable with AJ-RC10G (via 10-pin RCU terminal)
