_Multiple Slots
AJ-HPX2000 is equipped with five slots for P2 cards. Up to five cards may be inserted in these slots for continuous recording. They also provide new recording capabilities specific to memory cards.
zHot-Swap recording
The Hot-Swap capability allows cards not in use to be replaced without interrupting recording. This facilitates continuous recording.
zLoop recording
AJ-HPX2000 can retain a certain amount of previously recorded material by continuously loop- recording data into a specified recording area.
zINTERVAL REC/ONE SHOT REC
The AJ-HPX2000 features interval recording at minimum one-frame intervals. This function is particularly suited to shooting science and nature programs. Frame-by-frame shooting is simple with the one-shot recording function.
zPRE-RECORDING function
In standby status, AJ-HPX2000 always stores video and sound input to the camera for up to 8 seconds (For 1080i/720P (HD)). This means that the PRE- RECORDING function, when turned on, records the video and sound for a preceding duration preset by the user. This feature recovers critical moments that you might have missed. For DVCPRO and DV, video and sound can be recorded for up to 15 seconds.
zProxy recording (when AJ-YAX800G attached) By installing the optional video encoder card (AJ- YAX800G), MPEG4 format video and real-time metadata such as time code data can be recorded simultaneously on the P2 card and the SD memory card, together with the video and sound recorded by the camera. This function is useful for confirmation of editing of clips. For more information about the approximate duration for proxy recording, see [Approximate Proxy Recording Time (optional) on SD memory cards (Except for 24P native mode)] (page 10). Please also see <Cautions in using SD memory cards>. (page 21)
zData protection
Data on P2 cards will not be lost due to overwriting unless the files are deleted or the cards are initialised. Recordings are written only to free space.
_4-channel Digital Audio Recording (all formats)
In HD (1080i or 720P) mode, 4-channel digital audio recording is used.
All formats in SD mode, DVCPRO, DV, and DVCPRO50, also support 4-channel digital audio recording with high- quality sound (48 kHz/16 bits).
_Clip Thumbnailing
zAutomatic generation of thumbnails AJ-HPX2000 automatically generates a thumbnail for each recording cut (clip). It is possible to make use of this on the camera-recorder as well as for non-linear editing purposes, and after uploading to a server.
zThumbnail display on the LCD monitor
The 3.5-inch color LCD side of the your video camera recorder can provide a multi-screen view of 12 clip thumbnails. You can choose a desired clip to playback instantly.
zSeamless playback of selected clips
You can select more than one clip from the thumbnail view for continuous playback and output of seamless video.
Note
During continuous playback of clips in different recording formats, seamless playback is not available.
zDisplay of clip information
By selecting clips, information added to clips, such as the recording time, Text Memo, Shot Marks and metadata can be checked.
_Text Memos & Shot Marks
Each clip can incorporate comments, in the form of text memo added to the thumbnail associated with the time code, together with shot marks which, for example, can help you distinguish OK cuts from reject cuts.
Both text memos and shot marks can be added to selected clips during and after a recording. This is helpful for editing recorded video.
In addition, you can use the copy function for each text memo block to take only the necessary portions out of a clip.
_Front-mounted Sound Level Control Mechanism
AJ-HPX2000 features a front-mounted control for fine adjustment of the sound recording level. This control is particularly effective for adjusting the sound level when you are shooting without a sound recordist. The control can be disabled.
_Support for Built-in Unislot Wireless Receive
AJ-HPX2000 is designed to support an optional slot-in wireless receiver.
_Recording Review Capability
This capability automatically plays back the last 2 to 10 seconds of recorded video, allowing you to quickly check the recorded contents.
_Built-in Time Code Generator/reader
Aspecial-purpose Subcode track can be used to record and reproduce time code information.
