Clip Thumbnail Function

The P2 HD cam automatically generates a thumbnail image for each clip. You can view thumbnails on the built-in 3.5" color LCD monitor, or, by connecting the camera's Monitor Out to a separate display.

Any of the clips can be accessed instantly. Thumbnail images can be paused, fast-forwarded, and reversed just like a tape, and unwanted cuts 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. And if a shooting opportunity should arise during playback, the P2 HD cam lets you start recording immediately with no cueing required and no risk of accidentally overwriting valuable data.

*Seamless playback is not possible between clips recorded in different formats.

Text Memo (Bookmark) for Simple Editing

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 VariCam, you can create a new clip with data copied between text memo labels. Text information can also be written into each memo using the P2 VariCam or a PC with P2 Viewer installed. A shot mark, which allows convenient OK and NG marking, can also be added to each clip during or after recording.

This shows the text memo editing window of the provided Windows PC software,

P2 Viewer. A list of memos is shown on the right side. The clip time line below the view window shows the memo marks. Text can be written to an empty memo space created by the camera-recorder. Memos can also be added, deleted or moved.

Ecological Benefits — Thanks to Solid-State Technology, Broadcasting Can Help Conservation.

Because P2 cards are re-usable and moving parts are substantially reduced, P2 HD is an environmentally-friendly technology. The wear-free and dropout-free memory card recording system does not need the tapes required by conventional VCRs.

The memory card system reduces waste generated when the heads, tape drive mechanisms, etc., are replaced.

Proxy Data Recording (Option)

When the AJ-YAX800G proxy video encoder is installed, the P2 VariCam can record MPEG-4 proxy (low-resolution) data onto a P2 card or SD/SDHC Memory Card. This can be used for quick viewing of dailies with timecode and its low bit rate provides easy transmission over wired and wireless networks.

*Proxy data cannot be recorded when recording with the variable frame rate in Native mode, or when Pre-rec or Loop-rec is used.

Proxy data refers to MPEG-4 low-resolution AV data in file form for moving pictures and audio, with timecode, metadata, and other management data included.

SD/SDHC Memory Card Slot

The P2 VariCam Series comes with an SD/SDHC Memory Card slot. You can create a metadata upload file (produced with P2 Viewer software) containing information such as the name of the camera operator, the recording location, and text memos on an SD/SDHC Memory Card, and load it as clip metadata. The SD slot is also used to upload scene files and firmware updates.
