Attention

zAdjust the black-balance setting when using the unit for the first time. (Refer to page 48)

zSet VF TYPE on the <SYSTEM MODE> screen on the SYSTEM SETTING page depending on your viewfinder. The factory setting is set to the HD viewfinder.

zConsult the dealer for installation of the AVC-Intra codec board (AJ-YBX200G).

AJ-HPX2000 integrates a camera unit equipped with three CCDs, incorporating a 2/3-inch on-chip lens featuring progressive drive technology (All-pixel reading), and a video recorder/player (VTR) that supports DVCPRO HD, DVCPRO50, DVCPRO and DV formats.

AJ-HPX2000 offers choices of 1080i/720P mode for HD and NTSC/PAL mode for SD. It also provides features such as storage-type gain enhancement for news reports and film-like gammas for production purposes, providing many applications ranging from news reports to production.

Utilising P2 cards, which require no mechanism, as media, your unit offers greater responsibility, operability, and portability. It is highly resistant to shock and vibration during recording, and therefore ensures stable operation for capturing quality video images under the most adverse conditions.

General

_Supports the new AVC-Intra codec (optional)

Installation of the AVC-Intra codec board (AJ-YBX200G) provides support for the new AVC-Intra codec. By employing the Intra-Frame compression method based on H.264 standards, the latest motion picture compression technology, a high compression rate, high image quality, and high editing accuracy have been achieved.

The AVC-Intra codec supports the following two methods.

zHigh image quality supporting full sample HD: AVC-Intra100

zCapable of operation at low rates and low cost: AVC-Intra50

_24P, 30P, 25P Recording and Native Recording

The unit is capable of recording at frame rates of 24P (23.98P)/30P (29.97P) at 59.94 Hz and 25P at 50 Hz using the progressive drive of the CCD.

There are two methods: one method (Native recording)*2 records images at the unchanged frame rate of the camera, and the other method*3 pulls the rate

down to 59.94 or 50 frames.

*2 For the AVC-Intra100/50 at 1080i, AVC-Intra100/50 at 720P, and the DVCPRO HD formats, the rate is pulled down to 59.94 or 50 frames during playback.

*3 For the (HD) DVCPRO HD, (SD) DVCPRO50, DVCPRO, and DV formats

_Supports the HD/SD multi format

zSystem frequency

59.94 Hz/50 Hz switchable

zHD

DVCPRO HD/AVC-Intra100/AVC-Intra50 switchable *1

zSD

DVCPRO50/DVCPRO/DV switchable

In the HD (1080i and 720P) mode, the new AVC-Intra codec (optional) can be selected as the recording format in addition to the ordinary DVCPRO HD.

In SD mode, you can select a recording format appropriate for your purpose. For example, choose DVCPRO50 to give higher priority to image quality or DVCPRO if cost efficiency is a high priority.
