Panasonic new Viera G3 Series record video to SDXC

Panasonic has introduces a new series of Viera TV in Japan with the G3 Series, and more precisely the 42” TH-L42G3. This backlight LED Full HD TV comes with the possibility to record HD or SD contents not only on an external USB Drive but also directly on a SD, SDHC or SDXC Card.


Depending on the HD Video contents, BS Digital HD or Ground Digital HD, you will be capable to record full HD contents (1920×1080) at 24Mbps for the first one and 1440×1080 at 17Mbps for the second one, giving you respectively five hours and eight hours worth of recording time on a 64GB SDXC card.

The TH-L42G3 comes with Panasonic VIERA Link support, AVCHD support, Tsutaya TV, DTCP-IP and DLNA Support as well. We put 'standard' in quotes because while that's presently the typical capacity for that particular designation of flash, it'll still cost you upwards of $200 to get in on the ground floor, and that's a pittance compared to what Panasonic's charging for its own.
