◆NOTE:

•This unit supports the following P2 cards. ·AJ-P2C004HG(4GB) ·AJ-P2C008HG(8GB) ·AJ-P2C016RG(16GB) ·AJ-P2C032RG(32GB)

(These are the card types that will available in January 2008. This is subject to change with the introduction of cards of higher capacity.)

This unit cannot use AJ-P2C002SG (2 GB) cards.

•The recording time of 16 GB, 8 GB and 4 GB P2 cards are 1/2, 1/4 and 1/8, respectively of that provided by a 32 GB P2 card.

■Frame rate conversion

Recording input from variable frame-rate cameras at 24PN (Native), the unit is also capable of playing back cards recorded at 24 fps and converting the output to 1080/24 PsF. It can also record input from a variable frame-rate camera at 25PN (Native).

◆ NOTE:

• Do not use cards that have been edited or contain clips shot in

different formats as the loss of management data may prevent

 

normal playback.

 

■ Native recording

 

The unit provides support for native recording, a mode that records only active frames. This provides longer recording time when a VariCam, AJ-HPX2000/2100 or AJ-HPX3000 is connected to the HD-SDI IN connector. Variable frame rate (VFR) recording becomes possible by connecting a VariCam.

●Native recording defined

Native recording extracts only the active frames during 1080i AVC-Intra (requires optional board) recording as well as 720P DVCPRO HD and AVC-Intra (requires optional board) recording. At 720P, this lengthens the recording time 2 to 2.5 times over pull-down recording.

Even during native recording at a system frequency of 59.94 Hz or 50 Hz, the unit will still produce pull-down output.
