P2 HD camcorder offers 10-bit, 4:2:2, full 1920 x 1080-resolution AVC-intra recording with impressive levels of sensitivity and an interchangeable lens also featuring ultra luminance technology. The AVC-intra codec is unrivaled for its full-raster, 10-bit, 4:2:2 sampling with none of the inherent compromises of 8-bit, long GOP and 4:2:0 recording. It provides the ultra reliability of a solid-state design and the faster speed of a file-based workflow. It utilizes a 20-bit digital signal processor and high resolution 3-MOS imagers, enhanced with ultra luminance technology, which boosts the sensors performance to rival the image quality and sensitive of 1/2-inch imagers. The new sensor results in marked improvements in sensitivity, measured at F10. These high levels of sensitivity and image quality have been achieved with a new high-sensitivity photodiode and low-noise pixel transistor, both based on low-noise analog process technology. The same levels of sensitivity and image production that characterize the interlace mode are now possible in the progressive mode courtesy of progressive advanced processing, a 3D adaptive processing technology.
