Features of the Input/Output unit

_Features USB2.0 port (HOST/DEVICE)

By connecting with a PC via USB2.0, a P2 card inserted in AJ-HPX2000 can be used as a bulk storage device. It is also possible to store data on a P2 card onto a USB 2.0-connected external hard disk equipped with USB host capability as well as view clips stored on hard disks and write them to P2 cards.

_DVCPRO (IEEE1394) output and DV output provided as a standard configuration

Data can be input/output to an external device through the IEEE1394 digital interface. Use a 6-pin type connector. The unit does not support the bus power.

While operating AVC-Intra, it is impossible to input/ output data with IEEE 1394.

_HD/SD SDI output featured as standard

Video can be output as HD SDI signals, down-converted SD SDI signals, or analog composite signals. SDI output includes embedded audio etc.. (Refer to page 43) Note that the SD mode does not output HD SDI signals.

_Down converter output provided as a standard configuration

In HD mode, the MON OUT output connector and the VIDEO OUT connector (in setting VBS mode) output down converter (analog composite) signals.

It is optimum for confirming shot images on the SD monitor. (Refer to page 43)

_HD/SD SDI input function (when the AJ- YA350AG is attached)

The camera-recorder with the AJ-YA350AG extension board attached can record SDI signals input through the SDI input connector only if the signals are in the same format as the camera-recorder.

_Remote control connector

By connecting the remote control unit (AJ-RC10G), which is available as an optional accessory, the unit can be controlled remotely. (Refer to page 107)

_Confirmation of return video signals

It is possible to confirm the return video signals (analog HD-Y signals in the HD mode/VBS or Y signals in the SD mode) supplied to the GENLOCK IN connector of AJ-HPX2000 in the viewfinder to confirm programs.

(Only video signals from the same record format can be confirmed.) (Refer to page 175)

_DC OUT connector

The DC OUT connector of the unit produces 1.5 A of electrical current.

By connecting an external switch to this connector, it is possible to control REC start/stop.

Since a tally lamp can be used by connecting the LED to this connector, it is useful for shooting video when fixing the camera on a crane. (Refer to page 108)

General

Other features

_Viewfinder connection

From the viewfinder connector of the unit, 1080-59.94i, 1080-50i, 480-59.94i or 576-50i signals are output. Furthermore, signals are output for switching the frequencies of the connected viewfinder.

Confirm images in multi formats by connecting the viewfinder (AJ-HVF21G), which is available as an optional accessory. (Refer to page 27)

While the AJ-VF20WBP (59.94 Hz)/E (50 Hz) can also be connected, you cannot view video in formats with different frequencies.

_User button

On the side panel of the unit, three user buttons (USER MAIN/USER1/USER2) are available.

Each button can be assigned the on/off function for any frequently used feature selected from among the many features of the unit, such as digital zooming and super gain (Refer to page 51).
