The above video was shot using the prototype of the AC160, we now have all of the details from Panasonic and have units available to ship.
New AVCCAM Model with better zooming, greater sensivity, and higher image quality. Full-HD - Slow / Quick-Motion Recording Supported.
Offering high-quality HD recording utilizing MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 high-profile encoding, the AC160 records video in four professional AVCCAM HD recording modes at 60Hz, including the highest-quality PH mode (average 21 Mbps/Max 24Mbps), the HA mode (approx.17 Mbps), the extended recording HE mode (approx. 6 Mbps), and a PM mode (approx. 8 Mbps, 720p only). The AC160 has an additional feature that allows switching between 59.94 Hz or 50 Hz to support video production systems used around the world. At 50Hz, the AC160 also records in 1080/50i and 1080/25p, in 720/50p and 720/25p, and in 576/50i and 576/25p.
The AC160's Variable Frame Rate (VFR) function was inherited from the Panasonic VariCam HD Cinema Cameras. VFR provides overcranking for slow-motion and undercranking for fast-motion effects. The AC160 offers 22-step variable frame rate capability in 1080/23.98pN, 29.97p and 25p.
