Remote Control-Ready The AG-EC4G Extension Remote Control Unit or AJ-RC10G Remote Control Unit* offer both studio use and direct connection to the AJ-HPX3100. This lets you adjust the images and control the camera operation while viewing the monitor. *The remote control unit can control only functions supported by the AJ-HPX3100. It cannot control unsupported keys or dials. Monitor AJ-HPX3100 10P Cable (10 meters / 50 meters) Camera Image Remote Control VBS AJ-RC10G Remote Control Unit or AG-EC4G Extension Control Unit Standard HD/SD SDI Input Terminals The AJ-HPX3100 supports line recording of video and audio signals through the SDI input terminal; thus, it can be used as a portable recorder. It supports 1080/59.94i, 1080/50i, 480/59.94i and 576/50i input signals. *The input signal must be in the same format as the recording format of the camera recorder. Genlock Terminal for Return Video Signal Input Return video signal (analog HD-Y signal) input to the GENLOCK IN terminal or HD/SD video signal (HD/SD SDI signal) input to the SDI IN terminal can be viewed on the viewfinder. *The input signal must be in the same format as the recording format of the camera recorder. HD/SD SDI Output Terminals and Down-Converter Two video line output terminals (BNC) are provided as standard equipment and flexibly support monitoring and line recording. The built-in down-converter outputs high-quality SD video signals for broadcasting use. The aspect mode can also be selected. •SDI OUT (HD/SD): Can also output signals with embedded audio. Backup recording operation can be interlinked with the Rec Start/ Stop controls of an HD-SDI input-equipped Panasonic recorder, such as the AG-HPG20, etc. The AJ-HPX3100 can also output downconverted SD-SDI from an HD source. •MON OUT: Can output HD SDI/SD SDI/Composite. HD signals can be down converted. AJ-HPX3100 VIDEO OUT Analog Composite SDI OUT SDI (HD/SD) Monitor USB 2.0 Interface AG-HPG20 P2HD Portable Recorder The AJ-HPX3100 incorporates the Host and Device USB 2.0 as standard connectors. In Device mode, a P2 card slot can be used as an external PC device, making it easy to upload data to a nonlinear editing system or network server. In Host mode, an external hard disk drive can be connected, making it easy to copy data from the P2 card to HDD or vice versa. The thumbnails of stored video in HDD also can be viewed. USB 2.0 (HOST) File Copy HDD AJ-HPX3100 USB 2.0 (DEVICE) Upload NLE TC IN, TC OUT Terminals The AJ-HPX3100 has a built-in SMPTE time code generator/reader. TC IN and OUT terminals make time code throughput possible. This permits an external time-code lock. XLR Audio Input Terminals with Automatic Switching Function The 2-channel XLR audio input terminals on the rear panel are compatible with a +48 V phantom power supply. The new automatic front/rear switching function automatically selects the rear input signal when input is connected to the rear terminal. High-Resolution Proxy Video Supported (New Option) When equipped with the newly developed video encoder (AJ-YDX30, sold separately, scheduled for release in January 2011), the AJ-HPX3100 can record proxy data, which supports a file format with higher resolution and better sound quality than previous formats, in a P2 card or SD/SDHC memory card. Furthermore, it enables the evaluation of video quality during off-line editing to improve work efficiency. Proxy data supported by AJ-YDX30 Image size File format Audio 960×540 H.264 (3.5 Mbps) 16 bit/48 kHz 2CH (uncompressed) 640×360 H.264 (1.5 Mbps) 16 bit/48 kHz 4CH/2CH 480×270 H.264 (800 kbps) 16 bit/48 kHz 2CH 320×240 MPEG-4 (1.5 Mbps) 16 bit/24 kHz 2CH * Proxy data cannot be recorded if the Loop REC function is used in recording. Proxy data is AV data with low-resolution video and audio containing a time code, metadata, and other control information. DCF technologies are used under license from Multi-Format, Inc. Supports Wireless LAN (New Option) The AJ-HPX3100 connects wirelessly to a LAN when the wireless module AJ-WM30 (sold separately, under development) is plugged into the internal slot*. This enables the use of a PC/Mac or mobile device for inputting and editing metadata. A standard WEB browser can be used to access the camera recorder. Certain applications are also supported. * The main unit may need to be updated in some cases. Dedicated software key (sold separately) is required. AJ-HPX3100 AJ-WM30 Wireless Module (under development) Wireless LAN Mobile device Editing Metadata Other System Functions and Options • UniSlot® wireless receiver compatible (2 channels). * UniSlot® is a trademark of Ikegami Tsusinki Co., Ltd. • Anton light connector provided on the top panel (at the lower front side of the handle). • Equipped with earphone terminals (stereo mini-jack) and speaker. • Multiple battery support, including Anton Bauer or IDX batteries*. * The V-mount battery plate is required for IDX batteries. Compatibility with Nonlinear Editing Systems In developing P2 products, Panasonic has been working in collaboration with a number of strategic P2 Partners. There are many nonlinear editing products in the market that already support P2. P2 native editing makes it possible for you to maintain high-quality video and a flexible editing workflow.* * For information on compatible nonlinear editing systems, visit and click "Nonlinear Compatibility Information."
