The AG-HMR10 handheld AVCCAM HD solid-state recorder puts the
flexibility of recording and viewing high quality 1080 and 720 AVCHD
content directly in the palm of your hand. AVCHD recording is superior
to HDV, providing double the recording time and higher quality than
older MPEG-2 compression used in HDV formats.


The battery-powered HMR10 can be teamed with the optional ultra-compact
AK-HCK10 Full HD camera head(POVCAM) to form a versatile, point-of-view
camera/recorder system. And because its equipped with an HD-SDI in/out, the
HMR10 can also serve as standalone recorder for any HD-SDI-capable camera,
switcher and deck.

The HMR10 records stunning full HD 1920x1080 resolution images onto low-cost
SD memory cards in three recording modes - the highest quality PH mode*
(average 21 Mbps/max. 24 Mbps), HA mode (approx.17 Mbps) and HG mode (approx.
13 Mbps). The fourth recording mode, HE (approx. 6 Mbps), records at
1440x1080. On a single 32GB SD card, the HMR10 can record for up to 3
hours in PH mode and up to 12 hours in HE mode.


The handheld unit records in HD formats including 1080/60i, 1080/50i,
720/60p and 720/50p. With input from the AG-HCK10 camera head, the
HMR10 will also record 1080/30p, 1080/25p and 1080/24p. The handheld
unit gives users instant access to content in thumbnail clips and
offers a variety of playback functions and
solid-state
recording modes. It features a built-in 3.5" LCD screen, flexible
operation controls, and offers professional interfaces including
HD-SDI input/output, HDMI output and USB 2.0.

When teamed with the HCK10, the HMR10 is ideal for a wide range of
applications in nature observation, video production, ENG,
law enforcement, surveillance, sports, healthcare, education
and much more.

EDITING WITH AVCCAM
With Mac laptops now sporting SD card slots and more powerful low cost computers becoming the norm, solid
state AVCCAM is gaining in popularity over older tape based systems. Apple’s FCP 7.0 even has a new transfer
format called Pro Res LC that is a 100 Mbps CODEC, the perfect post production CODEC for AVCCAM. It
reduces the amount of storage space needed for AVCCAM. It uses a preset name, and the date and the time
(from the metadata).

What’s more, Panasoinc is including Edius Neo 2 edit software for PC users with every AG-HMR10
which will appeal to the wide range of POVCAM users who may not be professional video editors. With the
extra detail, more accurate color and the proliferation of consumer widescreen HD TV, shooting in HD is
becoming a request of more and more. Blu-ray and YouTube delivery systems are also helping to spread
HD technology

Noteworthy Appeal of AVCHD
· AVCHD High Profile MPEG 4 H.264 codec: Twice the efficiency of older MPEG-2 used in HDV systems.
· Latest technology: Intra-frame Prediction, Variable Block Size Motion Compensation, Loop Filter Prevents the
    Propagation of Compression Distortion and New Entropy Encoding ‘CABAC’.
· AVCHD content can be played directly from an SD card in a growing number of affordable devices.
· Solid State reliability: No issues with Temperature, Humidity, Vibration, Maintenance, Dropouts.
· Faster workflow – no ingest, random access to content, lower storage and distribution costs. Longer,
  recording time for capturing uninterrupted, extended events; between 3 and 12 hours depending on bit rate
  chosen with a 32GB SDHC card. The HMR10 is perfect for recording scenarios that are unattended.

High-end AVCHD Image Quality
PH Mode for High Bit Rate Recording
The AG-HMR10 Series features the image-enhancing PH mode that
Panasonic developed exclusively for AVCCAM camcorders. It delivers a
maximum AVCHD bit rate of 24 Mbps (average: 21 Mbps). Designed for
professional image production, this mode handles full-raster HD 1920 x
1080 and 1280 x 720 HD pixels, and lets you record 1080/30p,
1080/25p, and 1080/24p progressive images in addition to 1080/60i and
1080/50i when connected to the AG-HCK10G (optional).

Ease, Efficiency, Reliability
Large-capacity SDHC Memory Card

Unlike videotape, there's no need for cueing with the SDHC Memory Card
because recording automatically begins in a blank section of memory. Nor
do you have to worry about accidentally recording over important footage.
You can delete unwanted clips instantly right on the spot to preserve
memory capacity. Editing after shooting is smooth and easy, with no need
for digitizing. The tiny SDHC Memory Card is durable, too. Its operating
range is from -25 ºC to +85 ºC (-13 ºF to +185 ºF), so you can stop
worrying about harsh temperatures or condensation and just concentrate
on your shooting. And of course, you never have to worry about problems
with dropouts or clogged heads.
• Using the high compression efficiency of the AVCHD format, up to
   720 minutes*1 of HD data can be recorded onto a single SDHC
   Memory Card.
•Combined with a maximum data transfer speed of 22 MB/s,*2 this
   makes data transfers to computers easy and effortless.
•SDHC Memory Cards are inexpensive and can be easily purchased
   on location when needed.

*1: In HE (extended time) mode using a 32 GB SDHC Memory Card.
*2: Data transfer speed varies depending on the usage of SD devices.
The speed given here is the maximum speed according to
Panasonic specifications.

AVCHD Format for High-quality,
Efficient HD Recording

This format complies with the latest H.264 motion image compression
standard, and employs the High Profile standard to improve compression
efficiency. Featuring twice the compression efficiency of HDV (MPEG-2),
the AG-HMR10 Series achieves extended HD recording time.

MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 Technologies
