A Tapeless Camera Recorder That Meets the Needs of Professional HD/SD Multi Format Recording
The multi format AG-HMC81 records in both AVCHD (HD) and DV (SD) formats onto SD/SDHC memory card.
This tapeless camcorder features a 12x optical zoom lens, Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS), and a 1/4.1 inch, 3.05 mega pixel (approx. 2 mega pixel/effective image pixels), progressive 3MOS.

Tape Goes West at UWE
University of West of England invests in Panasonic AG-HMC81 Camcorders
The Faculty of Arts at the University
of West of England in Bristol recently
acquired 20 HMC-81 camcorders.
The HMC-81 is a robust shoulder-mount
design with manual features, solid state
recording, progressive and interlaced
modes and can capture in a range of
standard and high defi nition modes.
"Mastering the HMC-81 will really prepare the students for professional production." Remarked Mark Barton, Film and Media Instructor.
The HMC-81 camera is a great learning
tool with advanced recording functions
including pre-record, interval recording, shot marker and metadata capture.
Other professional features include
waveform monitor display, focus assists
such as focus bar display and enlarged
display, white balance, mode display,
zebra display, colour bar, tally lamps,
slow smooth zoom and soft landing,
slow shutter and synchro-scan shutter
functions, and three programmable user
buttons.
"The HMC-81 is a professional camera
that will push the students." Said Jill
Keane of Panasonic distributor, Holdan
Limited.
However, today's economy dictates that cost is a big consideration. Holdan's Keane continues:
"The camcorder may be good value but
the college looked beyond the initial
outlay.
For the college there are considerable savings on tape. But the savings don't stop there - with no moving parts or tape mechanism, we would expect the cameras to go on for years with only a need for basic maintenance."
The investment in the HMC-81 is the start of a whole new IT era for UWE's media facility.
"We're energetic and forward-thinking. To make the most of the new Panasonic camcorders we have plans for a
sophisticated ingest system and are
considering developing a new TV studio.
This is an exciting place to study."
