Presentation Info

I shot the presentation with a DVX100 and had hoped to shoot it with a tripod, but was told fire marshalls wouldn't allow it. Picture is a little shaky, but the sound is good (except for those who weren't mic'd and asked questions). The presentation is broken down into: an overview of DVCPro, an introduction to P2 recording media, a run-through of the AG-HVX200's specs, a FAQ on P2 and the HVX-200, some sample footage (which was projected using a 1080i projector), and a questions and answers period.

Additional Chances to see the HVX-200 in Person (and for free!)

Panasonic has a booth outside the theater where you can pick up and try the camera out for yourself, and ask Jan Crittenden, the product manager, any questions you have.

Instructions on how to access the cue points

I’ve added chapters (aka “cue points”) so you can skip ahead, but since this file is a progressive download, you have to wait until that time in the video has been downloaded to your computer’s cache to view it. When the inside of the seek bar is dark gray, you know that point in time is in your cache.
