The P2 Card Offers Outstanding Mobility and Reliability
The P2 card (AJ-P2C008HG) offers great flexibility and interoperability with
leading NLE systems and boasts a high data transfer speed of 640 Mbps max.
It records AV data in the MXF file format. This solid-state memory card is highly
resistant to shock and vibration, so it offers high reliability and stable recording in
the field. The P2 card brings a totally new level of mobility to outdoor shooting.
It lets the camera start recording immediately from standby mode. Recorded data
is automatically stored in blank card areas with no cueing required. This
eliminates the risk of accidentally overwriting valuable data.
Recording Functions
with Five P2 card Slots
The AJ-HPX2000 has slots for five
P2 cards and lets you record
continuously onto all five in
sequence. It also provides several
entirely new recording functions
that are possible only with
memory cards.
•Card selection: The recording slot
can be changed (sequential switching) even during recording. This lets you
retrieve and transmit just-recorded news material, without interrupting the
recording.
•Hot-swap-rec: You can replace a full memory card with a blank one while the
P2 cam is recording onto a second card. Successively swapping cards this way
gives you virtually unlimited recording capability.
•Loop-rec: By loop recording onto a specified recording area, you can continue
to record over a fixed area.
•Pre-rec: While in standby mode, you can continuously store, and subsequently
record, up to 15 seconds of video and audio (in DVCPRO). In effect, this lets you
record footage of events that occur even before you press the rec start button,
giving you a way to "go back" and capture moments you otherwise would
have missed.
Clip Thumbnail Function
The P2 cam automatically generates a thumbnail image for each clip. You can
view thumbnails on the 3.5" color LCD monitor on the P2 cam's side. Any of the
corresponding clips can be accessed instantly. And you can specify a number of
clips for seamless playback or on-air broadcasting.
Each clip can be provided with text memos (in up to 100 locations) and shot
markers during or after recording. This makes for easy clip searches when editing.
*Seamless playback is not possible between clips recorded in different formats.
SD Memory Card Slot
The AJ-HPX2000 comes with an SD Memory Card slot. You can create a metadata
upload file (produced with P2 Viewer) containing information such as the name
of camera operator, the name of the reporter, the recording location, and text
memos on an SD Memory Card, and load it as clip metadata.
DRS (Dynamic Range Stretching) Function
DRS recognizes the average brightness of highlight and shadow areas and then
automatically adjusts the aperture and uses knee control to suppress blown
highlights in the shadow areas. In scenes with mixed dark and light areas, such as
when moving from indoors to outdoors, DRS automatically provides a wider
dynamic range with minimal blown highlights and blocked shadows, eliminating
the need to manually tweak the camera for each specific condition.
Maximum 4x Digital Zoom
The AJ-HPX2000's digital zoom electronically increases the magnification rate of
the lens by 2x, 3x or 4x. It's ideal as both HD images retain their superior
resolution even with zooming, and — unlike when a lens extender is used —
brightness is not reduced. Ideal as both a shooting technique and focusing support.
Scene Files and Lens Files
•Scene Files: Store specific camera settings in built-in memory, then retrieve
them when needed for quick, easy setup. Four files with settings can be stored in
the camera's memory. Files can also be copied onto an SD Memory Card, allowing
storage of up to eight files.
•Lens Files: Store settings for interchangeable lenses. Eight files can be stored in
the camera unit, and 64 (8 x 8) files can be saved on an SD Memory Card.
Shooting Assist Functions
•Three User Buttons: Assign a function to each, and then you can select functions
with pushbutton ease.
•Auto Tracking White Balance
•Focus Assist: Facilitates focusing by displaying the frequency distribution of
video signals on a graph.
•Variable Color Temperature: Color temperature can be adjusted with the jog dial
after the white balance is set.
•Electronic Shutter with Half-Speed: Six fixed speeds of up to 1/2000 sec, plus
"half-speed" (180-degree) slow and synchro-scan capability.
•Rec Review function for easy checking of recorded results
•4-position optical filter
