18 bit Digital Signal
Processor
The AG-AC160/AC130
incorporate a high-performance
18 bit DSP that handles image
rendering processes such as
gamma and various detail
enhancement functions with
exceptional precision.
7-Mode Gamma for Richer Gradation
Drawing on technologies developed for the VariCam, Panasonic has
equipped the AG-AC160/AC130 with advanced gamma functions
that address seven different shooting scenarios, including two Cine-
Like Gammas.
DSP Processor
Dynamic Range Stretch (DRS)
In scenes with mixed contrast, such as when panning from indoors
to outdoors, the DRS function automatically suppresses blocked
shadows and blown highlights. A gamma curve and knee slope are
estimated to match the contrast of each pixel, and applied in real
time. When dark, bright, and intermediate shades are all contained in
the same scene, this produces excellent gradation for each shade
and minimizes blocked shadows and blown highlights.

give special emphasis to flowing water, fast-moving clouds, etc. For
example, when a scene is shot at 12 fps and played at 24 fps, a
quick-motion effect of 2x is attained.
Full-HD (1080p) VFR Recording*
The Variable Frame Rate (VFR) function was inherited from the
Panasonic VariCam, which is widely used for producing movies, TV
series and TV commercials. It creates a wide range of film-camera-
like images, such as overcranking for slow-motion and
undercranking for quick-motion effects. The AG-AC160's VFR
function* supports Full-HD (1920 x 1080) progressive mode.

Versatile Solid-State Recording Functions
*When recording at 2 fps, the gain value is locked at 0 dB.
• Interval Rec: Records one frame at a time in set intervals (1 sec,
10 sec, 30 sec, 1 min, 2 min). Only in 1080/24p and 25p mode.
Audio recording not possible (AVCHD mode only).
• Pre-rec: While in standby mode, the camera recorder can
continuously store, and subsequently record, up to approximately 3
seconds. This helps to ensure that you always get the shot you want.
• Shot mark: Allows convenient OK or NG marking, and can be
added to each clip during or after recording.
Normal cinematic shooting (at 24 fps, 25 fps or 30 fps) refers to
the same rate as used in film cameras. The AG-AC160 can record at
24 fps. Note that 25 fps and 30 fps are the standard frame rates
used in producing TV commercials, music clips and video media.
• Index: Scenes can be marked with up to 100 index flags per clip
(AVCHD mode only).
• Rec check: You can check the end of the most recently recorded
clip with one-touch ease.
• Last clip delete: Only the most recently recorded clip is deleted
with one-touch ease.
• Time stamp: The date and time can be stamped onto recorded
images. Commonly used for recording evidentiary depositions and
procedures.
Overcranking (higher-speed shooting) produces a slow-motion
effect. This is especially effective for high-action scenes like car
chases or crashes, or to create a dramatic impact in a scene. For
example, when a scene is shot at 48 fps and played at 24 fps, a
slow-motion effect of 1/2x is attained.
