■9-inch Wide LCD Monitor

A 9-inch wide LCD monitor is provided for ease of viewing HD

video.

■Dial Jog/Dial Shuttle

The jog provides slow playback at rates between -1.0 to +1.0. The shuttle allows high-speed forward and reverse playback up to 100 times normal speed. At speeds up to 10x, the sound is also audible.

■Thumbnails for Managing Clips Visually

The 9-inch color LCD monitor on the front panel displays clips (thumbnails) that represent P2 card content. Settings can be made to show only specific clips in the thumbnail screen.

Clips selected from the thumbnail list can be played back immediately, shot marks can be added, file data regarding the clips can be confirmed and added and other clip management operations are also available.

<About clips>

A clip is a single data item that contains video, audio, metadata and other additional information. Normally, a clip is one shot generated from the start of recording until recording stops. However, when a shot spans multiple P2 cards, the video on each card is handled as an independent clip. The image at the start of recording appears in the thumbnail screen as a representative image of that clip.

■Creating Play Lists and the Playback Function

You can select video and audio recorded on the P2 cards installed in the unit for playback in the desired order.

●A wealth of play list editing functions

•Audio IN point split: The play list makes it possible to move the audio IN point forward or backward relative to the video IN point.

•Voice-over: Separately recorded audio data can replace an audio segment on one or two channels during playback.

•AV overwrite editing: This feature allows you to overwrite edit and play back any audio and video segment (for 2 channels) on the play list.

■Time code/Player function for editing provided

This unit has a built-in TCG (time code generator) and TCR (time code reader). In addition to the internal time code, external time code input or a VITC input signal can be recorded as the time code.

The unit can also be used as a player for an editing system using RS-422A.

■Compatible with HD (Native clips can only be played back), SD, NTSC and PAL

This unit can record and play back HD, SD, NTSC and PAL signals. It can also handle analog video, SDI, as well as IEEE1394 input and output.

*Native clips

Native clips are clips recorded on the AJ-HPX2000 or other P2 card camera recorder that records only active frames. (For details, refer to the Operating Instructions supplied with the camera.) Such clips are viewed at 24PN, 30PN (59.94 Hz) or 25PN (50 Hz) and cannot be recorded on this unit. This unit converts such clips to 60P (50P) or 60i (50i) for playback.

■High-quality 8-channel digital audio

8-channel PCM audio where each channel (HD SDI has 8 independent channels while the analog interface has 4 independent channels) can be recorded separately or mixed.

■Built-in up and down cross conversion

Built-in up and down cross conversion playback function is provided as standard.

■Menu-based Setup

Perform setup while viewing the setup menus on the 9-inch color LCD monitor of this unit or a monitor TV display.

■Connection to Hard Disk for Handling Large Data Volumes

Card data can be saved onto a hard disk that is equipped with a USB 2.0 interface. Data stored on HDD can be written back to a card. A USB 2.0 connection with a PC allows you to use P2 cards inserted in the slots on this unit as mass storage.

This setup provides direct nonlinear editing.
