Reliable, Low-Cost P2 Card with 32 GB Capacity

The compact and light P2 card holds 32 GB* (AJ-P2C032RG) of data. The new AJ-HPM110 P2 Mobile records AV data as MXF files, which expedites and streamlines news gathering and program production. Because the P2 card has no moving mechanisms, it offers outstanding reliability and high resistance to impact, vibration and temperature fluctuations. Reusable many times, the P2 card can reduce operating costs and minimize environmental impact.

*Total card capacity includes space for data management such as system data; therefore, actual usable area is less than the capacity indicated on the card.

Six P2 Card Slots

With its six card slots, the AJ-HPM110 holds six 32 GB P2 cards for recording over 3 hours of DVCPRO HD, 8 hours of DVCPRO HD / AVC-Intra 100 720 24p native or 4 hours of AVC-Intra 100 1080 24p native content. It will play a continuous, extended clip recorded in sequence onto six P2 cards. Or, you can mount five P2 cards recorded using a P2 cam, and output the playlist editing result to a sixth P2 card.

*For detailed recording times, see the table entitled "Input Signals and Corresponding Recording Formats" on page 4.

Optional Board for AVC-Intra Recording and Playback

The AJ-YBX200G codec board (purchased separately) adds AVC- Intra codec recording and playback capabilities to the AJ-HPM110. The AVC-Intra codec is based on the advanced motion image compression technology of the H.264 standard, which brings superb image quality, a highly- efficient encoding, and outstanding editing precision to

High-Quality Images with AVC-Intra 100, Low Bit Rate with AVC-Intra 50

AVC-Intra 100 records high-quality, full-pixel, full-sampling HD images (1920 x 1080, 4:2:2, 10-bit) at the same bit rate as DVCPRO HD, while AVC-Intra 50 provides DVCPRO HD-level images (1440 x 1080, 4:2:0, 10- bit) at a low bit rate and low operating cost. The AJ-HPM110 can be set to either mode to meet a wide range of HD production needs.

Endless Recording with Loop Rec

The loop rec function continuously records video data onto available memory card areas. When the card becomes full, older data is deleted to free up the recording area, resulting in loss-less, endless recording. When used with cameras for time-sensitive, information gathering like weather and news reporting, the loop rec function holds the latest video data for a predetermined time period.

broadcasting applications. The intra-frame compression system of this codec ensures stable quality for fast-motion images, degradation-free frame-by-frame editing, and fast processing with a multi-core CPU. The high-accuracy intra prediction process (see diagram below) and advanced, context-adaptive entropy coding technology combine to provide twice the intra-frame compression efficiency of MPEG-2.

*Image data is recorded continuously in available areas (in the order A ➔ B ➔ C) of the P2 card. When the remaining recording time drops to 30 seconds, data in area A is deleted, and data is recorded in area C until it becomes full (0 seconds remaining), then data is recorded in area D.

Eight Channels of 16-bit Digital Audio

AVC-Intra and DVCPRO HD offer superb 16-bit linear PCM sound quality, with eight embedded channels for recording in 5.1-channel surround sound. The AJ-HPM110 P2 Mobile uses HD-SDI for independent input/output and editing of all eight channels. The SD mode supports four-channel recording and playback in all codec systems (DVCPRO 50, DVCPRO, DV).
