HD Multi-Format Capability, Including Native 1080p The AVC-Intra 100 and 50 codecs let you record in a choice of HD video formats: 1080 23.98p/25p/29.97p, as well as 1080 50i/59.94i. These world-wide HD formats provide extra flexibility in all of your production needs. DVCPRO HD Codec and SD Video Recording The AJ-HPX3100 supports the conventional DVCPRO HD codec and also offers DVCPRO 50/DVCPRO/DV capability for SD recording. This lets it flexibly adapt to various applications and system environments. Clip Thumbnail Function The P2 cam automatically generates a thumbnail image for each clip. You can view thumbnails on the built-in color LCD monitor. Any of the clips can be accessed instantly. The new shift button and scroll bar allow easy selection of clips. A playback can be paused, fast-forwarded, and reversed just like a tape, and an unwanted clip can be deleted by selecting and deleting the corresponding thumbnail image. You can also specify a number of clips for seamless playback* or on-air broadcasting from fields. * Seamless playback is not possible between clips recorded in different formats. Advanced Recording Functions Employing Two Card Slots • Card selection: The recording slot can be changed (sequential switching). This lets you review, organize, edit and transmit justrecorded content. Content can also be organized while shooting, by switching cards for each scene category. • Hot-swap rec: Thanks to the two card slots, you can hot-swap P2 cards for continuous non-stop recording. • Loop-rec*: By allocating the open space on two P2 cards, the camera continue to record over that area until the operator pushes the stop button. • Pre-rec: This stores approximately 8 seconds of video and audio data in memory while in standby mode and lets you recover and use the data from the approximate 8 seconds before you started recording. • Interval rec*: This gives you automatic intermittent recording based on a set interval and recording time. • One-shot rec*: This frame-shot recording function is useful for producing animations. • Rec review: This lets you run a quick playback check of the clip-end you have just recorded. Text Memo (Bookmark) and Shot Mark When recording or previewing a clip, press the Text Memo button at any of up to 100 locations and a text memo label, similar to a bookmark, is registered. Using only the P2 cam, you can create a new clip with data copied between text memo labels. Text information can also be written into each memo. A shot mark, which allows convenient OK and NG marking, can also be added to each clip during or after recording. Text memo and shot mark facilitate the search and display of a desired scene during nonlinear editing. *Text memo and shot mark cannot be added in Loop-rec, Interval-rec, or One-shot rec mode. One-Clip Rec Mode The One-Clip Rec mode is handy for recording a variety of events. Whereas normal Rec mode produces a clip for each Rec start/stop cut, One-Clip Rec mode records up to 99 consecutive cuts as a single clip, which greatly improves the nonlinear editing work that follows. A text memo is automatically attached when recording begins, making it easy to find desired cuts within the clip. REC START Single Clip REC START REC STOP REC START REC STOP REC START max. 99 consecutive cuts REC STOP TEXT MEMO 1 TEXT MEMO 2 TEXT MEMO 3 Supports Metadata Such as GPS Information When the GPS Unit (AJ-GPS910G, sold separately) is mounted, the AJ-HPX3100 can record position information (latitude, longitude, altitude) as UMID information metadata. It also enables the recording of information pre-registered via an SD card, such as the camera operator's name, reporter's name and program name, as clip metadata. This data can be used to manage clips and to provide easy searching and sorting. Direct Upload to a PC*1 or Nonlinear Editor The AJ-HPX3100 records the A/V data for each recording as a file on the P2 card, which eliminates the need for digitizing. The files can be used directly in a nonlinear editing system or, they can be transferred over a network or simply onto a hard disk drive. The P2 card transfers data at a high speed up to 1.2 Gbps*2 allowing faster, easier operation. The P2 card is convenient too - you can plug it directly into the card slot on certain laptops. *1: PCs must be installed with the included P2 driver in order to mount P2 cards. For editing, PCs must be installed with P2-compatible editing software available from various companies. Read "Notes Regarding the Handling of P2 Files Using a PC" on the back page. *2: 1.2 Gbps is the maximum transfer speed when using the P2 card E Series. Transfer speed is subject to changes depending on the system configuration. 6
