1. Image sensor & record formats
1-3. Image size comparison between 4K/UHD and HD formats
The UHD (3840x2160) image is four times sharper than an FHD 1080p image (nine times that of720p). And the 4096x1080 resolution (referred to as “4K” on AG-DVX200), which is often used forcinema shooting, has a slightly wider image aspect ratio of 17:9. In comparison to a UHD image,this is an extra 256 pixels in the horizontal direction.

For information of qualified recorders, and test reports, visit at
http://pro-av.panasonic.net/en/products/ag-dvx200/index.html
How to connect and record
1. Connect an AG-DVX200 and a supported recorder with an HDMI2.0 cable.
2. Set menu items below on the AG-DVX200.
- SYSTEM MODE > OUTPUT BITS: 4:2:2(10bit)- OUTPUT SETUP > OUTPUT SEL: HDMI
- OUTPUT SETUP > SDI REMOTE: ON- OUTPUT SETUP > REMOTE REC LINK: OFF- OUTPUT SETUP > HDMI TC OUTPUT: ON
3. Assign the “AUTO REC” item to one of the assignable USER buttons. (see P.17)
4. The USER button can now be used as a REC/PAUSE button for the external recorder.
Two control methods when using external recorders
REC/PAUSE operation of external recorders can be performed with the REC button on the
AG-DVX200 when output sampling (OUTPUT BITS item) is set “4:2:2(8bit)”, but it does notwork when setting is “4:2:2(10bit)” because internal recording of this sampling mode is notsupported.
However, external recorder remote control can be performed by using an assignable USER
button for the REC function even in 4:2:2 (10bit) mode. See following table for menu settings
example by sampling type (8bit/10bit).

4-6. Understanding user customizable image stabilizer
Much higher performance is required of image stabilizers for 4K/UHD cameras because even asmall amount of shake can easily be seen when working in these resolutions. The AG-DVX200 is
equipped with four times higher stabilization performance achieved through an expandedstabilization range. The stabilization characteristics can also be customized to meet professional
requirements.

Customizing image stabilization characteristic
1. MENU > SWITCH SETTING > CUSTOM O.I.S : ON
2. MENU > SWITCH SETTING > Set “BLUR AMPLITUDE” and “BLUR FREQ” as explained
below.

BLUR AMPLITUDE adjustment- Factory default setting = 3 (adjustable range: 1 - - - 3 - - - 5)
- Choose smaller values when motion of camera work is not so large (suitable for steady shots).
- Choose larger values when recording while moving.
- When increasing this value, OIS can compensate small to large shake levels but is not suitable
for steady shots.

BLUR FREQUENCY adjustment- Factory default setting = 2 (adjustable range: 1, 2, 3)
1: Image stabilizer actively responds from rapid camera shaking to slow shaking. This mode issuitable for steady shots.
2: Image stabilizer actively responds for relatively rapid shaking.
3: Image stabilizer effect weakens or strengthens dynamically. Effect level becomes stronger
for rapid shaking, and becomes weaker for slow shaking making it suitable for scenes thatfrequently use panning.

4. Understanding advanced features
4-7. Understanding user customizable auto focus
The AG-DVX200 is equipped with customizable auto focus to meet professional requirements.
Customizing image stabilization characteristic
1. MENU > SWITCH SETTING > CUSTOM AF : ON
2. MENU > SWITCH SETTING > Set “AF SPEED” and “AF SENSITIVITY” as explained below.

AF SPEED (focusing speed) adjustment- Factory default setting = 0 (adjustable range: -5 - - - 0 - - - +5)- Focusing speed increase as the value increases.

Note: When increasing the value of AF SPEED control, the motor operation sound becomes

5. Understanding scene file operations
The following six different scene presets come standard with the camera, and can be user
customized if required.

5-1. SCENE FILE presets
SCENE #1

Basic setting

SCENE #2

Suitable for recording where the characteristics of fluorescent lamps are taken
into consideration (example: shooting indoors).
Most of the parameters are equal to SCENE#1 but the MATRIX is adjusted for
fluorescent lighting. This is not particularly necessary under the fluorescentlighting close to natural light color temperature.
But it is suitable for recording conditions where the color reproduction is poor
due to blue-intense fluorescent lamps.

SCENE #3

Suitable for recording with richer color level and sharper contrast.
The picture will be showy with vivid colors and give a bright impression.

SCENE #4

Suitable for recording where the gradation is expanded in dark parts of theimage (e.g. shooting a sunset scene).
This is effective if being used when dark parts are difficult to see or both brightand dark scenes need to be seen in detail when shooting at sunset, in a theateror at a wedding etc.

SCENE #5

Suitable for movie-like recording where importance is placed on contrast.
This has a Gamma curve that makes a movie-like picture using a video camera.

SCENE #6

Suitable for movie-like recording where importance is placed on the Dynamic
Range. This Gamma gives priority to the Dynamic (D) Range and maintains
the gradation that ranges evenly from low to high level.
If the post-production editing or a kinescope is planned, this can be selected
because recording in this mode will make such post-processing easier andsmoother. Also, it will create a unique atmosphere which can sometimes beused as an effect.

5-3. Expressing the texture of objects (detail enhancement)
When expressing the outline or surface texture of an object, faint reflection of light may beintensified or, to the contrary, the picture may look blurred. This is a phenomenon caused by thestrength / weakness of Detail signal to intensify the video signal for the object’s outline.
Adjustment of Detail signal can make the object’s luster or texture look more natural.

Detail control
This is an outline signal which is added to a video signal.
If the Detail level is increased, the edges of video signal will be intensified and outlines in the
picture will look sharper. If the Detail level is decreased, the edges of video signal will be
weakened and the picture will look softer with its outline enhancement suppressed.

5. Understanding scene file operations
Detail coring control
Outline compensation can be performed by adjusting the Detail, and enhanced outlines enable
clear representation of images. But at the same time it may make the picture look coarse. Thisoccurs because added Detail will also work on low-level signals which includes noise.
Detail coring function can adjust the range of added Detail signal but also helps to reduce the noise
introduced by the Detail circuits.
Noise is a low-level signal. So, when Detail coring is set to a higher level than noise signals, theDetail signal will work only on higher-brightness signals, and not on the noise.
By using this control, the outline of an object can be enhanced and its texture will look the same
while the effects of increased image coarseness are suppressed.

components will also be

When compressing highlight portions with KNEE control to avoid overexposed image (blown-out
highlights), detail signal will also be compressed and it may cause softening in highlight areas.
This can be compensated by using KNEE APE LEVEL control.

5-5.Expressing the gradation of a picture (Knee, Gamma)
Due to bright sunny weather or lighting, “blown-out highlights” can sometimes occur, where brightareas look completely white. This is a phenomenon caused by the luminance signals that are outof the camera’s Dynamic Range (processing range). In order to put such high-brightness input
signals within the Dynamic Range, Knee function can be used to compress the gradation.

5. Understanding scene file operations
Gamma settings
There are cases where the color and contrast, which look natural to the eye, are not fully
reproduced in the captured image. An effective way to improve the gradation of the output signal
is to select a suitable Gamma curve according to the scene conditions. The AG-DVX200 offers
seven types of Gamma curves.

HD:
This is a video Gamma characteristic for HD (High Definition).
This Gamma complies with the standards defined by ARIB, EBU, SMPTE, etc.
the purpose of normal HD shooting.

Use this forSD:
Gain is increased for dark areas more than HD Gamma.
This Gamma curve can be used for shooting in SD mode, or for HD shooting that needs thesame Gamma as used in SD shooting.

FILMLIKE 1:
Compared with HD Gamma, this has the characteristics by which the gradation of thehighlights can be reproduced better. Using this Gamma curve which gently slopes for the
low-brightness area makes the picture look calm. Contrast becomes sharper and thegradation expression of the middle- and high-brightness areas (face, etc.) is extended.

FILMLIKE 2:
Compared with FILM LIKE 1, this has the characteristics by which the gradation of thehighlights can be reproduced better.

FILMLIKE 3:
Compared with FILM LIKE 2, this has the characteristics by which the gradation of thehighlights can be reproduced better.

CINE-LIKE V:
Video-use cine Gamma characteristics.
This is a Gamma curve to make a movie-like picture using a video camera. It creates apicture where more importance is placed on contrast than in normal video mode recording.
CINE-LIKE D:
Film-use cine Gamma characteristics.
This Gamma gives priority to the Dynamic Range and maintains the gradation that ranges
evenly from low to high level. It creates a unique look which is sometimes used as an artistic
effect.
