USB 2.0 Interface Compatible with Host Mode

In device mode, the P2 cam's card slot can be used to connect a PC as an external device for nonlinear editing and transmission over networks. In host mode, P2 files can be copied onto a hard disk without using a PC.

Digital Backup Recording (HD-SDI/IEEE 1394)

The AJ-HPX2100's standard HD-SDI output simultaneously backs up recordings to an external digital VTR (such as the AJ-HD1400) in sync with the REC start/stop. An IEEE 1394 compliant DVCPRO output terminal (6-pin) is also provided on the AJ-HPX2100. The AJ-HPX2100 can output DVCPRO HD/ DVCPRO data without decoding for backup recording with minimum degradation to a digital device like the FS-100 FireStore manufactured by FOCUS. It also enables desktop HD editing when connected to a PC/Mac nonlinear editing system.

The AJ-HPX2100's HD-SDI and IEEE 1394 digital output capabilities allow the use of a wide variety of broadcasting and IT-based devices.

HD SDI/SD Down-Conversion Output

The AJ-HPX2100 comes equipped with two BNC video line outputs for flexible monitoring or line recording use.

•VIDEO OUT: Switchable between HD-SDI/SD-SDI (down conversion) and analogue composite (down conversion) output.

•MON OUT: Outputs down-converted SD video only. Switchable to analogue composite (thumbnail output possible), VF or Y.

HD/SD SDI Line Recording (Option)

When the HD/SD SDI input board (AJ-YA350G, purchased separately) is installed, HD/SD line recording is possible from SDI (serial digital) input. This is extremely useful in Broadcast applications, including news pool feeds acquisition.

*The input signal must be in the same format as the recording format of the camera-recorder.

New Remote Control Unit

The AJ-HPX2100 comes equipped with a 10-pin RCU terminal for connecting the optional AJ-RC10G Remote Control Unit.

The AJ-RC10G comes with a 10-pin multi-cable that can connect to

the AJ-HPX2100's down-conversion video OUT terminal for monitoring at the RCU. The AJ-RC10G provides detailed control of the AJ-HPX2100's camera and recorder functions.

Other System Functions and Options

Proxy Data Recording (Option)

Mount an AJ-YAX800G Video Encode Card, and the AJ-HPX2100 records an MPEG4 proxy (low-resolution) data — enhancing news production and simplifying long format program editing, including documentaries and reality television — onto the card along with full-resolution data. The three levels of proxy video available are 1.5 Mbps, 768 kbps and 196 kbps. Proxy data can also be recorded onto an SD Memory Card mounted in the slot provided, for easy viewing on a laptop PC. The encode card, available as an option, lets you upgrade as future image encode systems evolve.

*Proxy data is AV data with low-resolution MPEG4 video and audio containing time code, metadata, and other control information.
