System and Interface
Comes Equipped with IEEE 1394, USB 2.0 and HD SDI Interfaces. Allows Remote Control with the AJ-RC10G.
IEEE 1394 Interface
The IEEE 1394-compliant DVCPRO (6-pin) output connector lets you output all HD/SD compression streams without decoding.* This means you can connect and use a DVCPRO HD VTR (such as the AJ-HD1400) or Focus Enhancements FireStore FS-100 for degradation-free backup recording.
The IEEE 1394 interface also makes it easy to upload data to a Mac-based or PC-based nonlinear editing system. The AG-HPX502 also provides a host mode that lets you copy P2 files to a hard drive without using a PC.
* Output is not possible in 720p native mode (24pN 30pN, 25pN).
Compatibility with Nonlinear Editing Systems
DVCPRO HD P2 files recorded by the AG-HPX502 can be used in nonlinear editing systems made by a variety of manufacturers, making it possible for you to produce HD content in native DVCPRO HD. And because the AG-HPX502 uses the same recording format as the AG-HVX202 or the AJ-HPX2100, the AG-HPX502 is compatible with nonlinear editing systems that support our other P2HD cameras.

The AG-HPX502 comes equipped with two BNC video line outputs for flexible monitoring or line recording use.
•SDI OUT: Switchable between HD-SDI or SD-SDI (down conversion). HD-SDI output simultaneously backs up recordings to an external digital VTR (such as the AJ-HD1400) in sync with Rec start/stop.
•VIDEO OUT: Outputs down-converted SD video (composite).
