• The AG-AC160 - A Premium Choice for HD Image Capture: Offering the same functionality as the AC130A, the premium AG-AC160A provides these additional top production features: variable frame rate recording in 1080p for slow and fast motion recording, Linear PCM audio, HD-SDI output, and switchability between 59.94Hz/ 50Hz for worldwide use.
• 1080/60p and 50p Recording: In addition, the 160A can record in 1080/60p and 50p (maximum 28Mbps in PS mode). Because the MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 codec provides a doubling of bandwidth efficiency and improved video performance over the older MPEG-2 compression-based formats, recordings look crisp even during fast motion without image degredation.
• High-Quality AVCHD Image Quality: The AC160A records video in four pro AVCCAM HD recording modes, including the highest-quality PH mode (average 21 Mbps/Max 24 Mbps); the HA mode (approx.17 Mbps); the extended recording HE mode (approx. 6 Mbps); and a PM mode (approx. 8 Mbps, 720p only), which is ideal for shooting sports training and Web video.
• High-Performance 2.2 Million Imager: Equipped with high-sensitivity, low-noise 1/3", Full HD 2.2 megapixel Ultra Luminance Technology (ULT) 3-MOS imagers and a 20-bit Digital Signal Processor, this camera delivers superb low-light images in native 1920 x 1080 resolution.
• High-Powered 22X Zoom Lens: With a long lens (a wide 22X zoom w/3 adjustable rings for Zoom/Focus/Iris), this camera lets you nail virtually every shot you're after, even in dimly lit scenes. With a wide 28mm to 616 mm (35mm full frame equivalent) viewing angle, it covers most shooting situations without the need for a wide-angle lens.
