USB 2.0 Host Function Allows Use of a Hard Drive

The AJ-HPM100 is equipped with a USB 2.0 interface for host/device. In host mode, you can connect a hard disk drive and read and write P2 files. In device mode, you can connect a PC (or nonlinear editor) and use the AJ-HPM100 as a P2 card drive for direct transfer of P2 clips into nonlinear editing software.

Rugged Casing

With its rugged casing and magnesium die-cast frame, the AJ-HPM100 is tough enough for go-anywhere field broadcast use. The rear connector section is protected by a cover. With the editing panel closed,

the AJ-HPM100 is the size of a large briefcase and comes equipped with a metal handle for easy carrying. You can take it onboard an airplane as a carry-on.

IEEE 1394 Digital Interface

With an HD-SDI interface that allows easy HD-SDI input/output and SD- SDI output, the AJ-HPM100 is ideal for use in an HD broadcasting system. Use the AJ-HPM100 for line recording, in-studio production, data transmission and more. A switch on the front panel lets you select the HD-SDI or IEEE 1394 interface for the input signal.

Analog Input/Output and RS-422A Remote In

Analog I/O: Composite In, HD Component Out/Composite Out (shared), Composite Monitor OUT, Audio In/Out (4 channels), and Audio Monitor Out (2 channels)

RS-422A Remote In: Lets you control the AJ-HPM100 via an external controller for editing applications.

TC In/Out: The AJ-HPM100 has a built-in time code generator/reader.

SD Memory Card Slot

The AJ-HPM100 has an SD Memory Card slot. By using the P2 viewer software, you can create a metadata upload file containing the names of the camera operator and reporter, the shooting location and other text information, and save it onto an SD Memory Card. The AJ-HPM100 can then read the information as metadata.
