Clip Thumbnail Display on 9-Inch Monitor
The AJ-HPM100's built-in 9-inch LCD monitor not only serves as a playback monitor, it also displays clips in a thumbnail list. You can select a clip and play it back immediately. Each thumbnail is indicated with a text memo and a symbol that shows the presence or absence of a shot marker. You also can set the AJ-HPM100 to display only clips you select in the thumbnail list. You can select a thumbnail quickly and easily using the crosshair cursor buttons or jog dial.
Playlist Function Allows VTR-Like Nonlinear Editing
The P2 memory card makes an advanced playlist function possible. You can mark up to 100 events using In and Out points and play the events in any order. Thanks to the P2 card's unique high-speed random access capabilities, you get seamless, continuous, on-the-spot playback with no time lag or other disruptions between cuts (clips)**. Edit the recordings and use the results in on-air broadcasts — a quick, easy solution for breaking news reporting and similar “when it counts” tasks. You can save a playlist as a file and later reuse it, or output a playlist playback result as a separate clip. You can mark In and Out points, cue, review, trim and perform other tasks in almost the same way as you would with a conventional editing controller. The display of playlist and event properties lets you handle production and correction tasks intuitively and accurately.
*No transition setting or effect is available. V fade between events can be set only for audio.
**The cuts (clips) should be the same format.
Clip Management
You can delete, copy or merge clips, or add a shot marker and text memo. Details of each clip can be viewed in a properties window.
Jog/Shuttle Dial and Audio Fader
Like a broadcast editor, the AJ-HPM100 is equipped with a jog & shuttle dial. You can shuttle search at 100x normal speed in forward or reverse and jog search within a range of -1x to +1x speed. Audio can be monitored up to 10x speed. Equipped with large audio fader levers, the AJ-HPM100 also can be used as an audio mixer.
Audio Split/Audio Dubbing
The AJ-HPM100's audio split* feature makes it possible, using the playlist, to move the audio In point forward or backward relative to the video In point. Also, additional audio channels (one or two) can be recorded onto a recorded clip. This lets you connect a microphone for Voice overs. The input audio can be mixed with the playback sound.
*All channels are moved forward or backward at the same time. You cannot move a single channel independently.
