1080/24PsF Line Output and Other System Interfaces

to Meet High-End Production Needs

Side terminal (both models)

Rear terminal (AJ-HPX3700)

Three HD SDI Outputs

Two HD SDI output terminals (A/B) that also comply with 1080/24PsF standards and include embedded audio are standard equipment. This lets you make backup recordings on an AJ-HPM110 P2 Mobile or digital VTR, with rec start/stop linking. An HD SDI video signal can also be output from the MON OUT terminal. Character and marker displays can be set separately for HD SDI OUT and MON OUT.

Down-Converted SD Video Output

The output signal from the MON OUT terminal can be switched to HD SDI or VBS. When VBS is selected, a down-converted SD video signal (analog composite) is output.

IEEE 1394 DVCPRO Output (AJ-HPX2700 only)

The AJ-HPX2700 comes equipped with an IEEE 1394-compliant DVCPRO output (6 pin) terminal. Use the AJ-HPX2700 in tandem with a compatible recorder such as the AG-HPG10G P2 Gear, AJ-HPM100 P2 Mobile or Focus Enhancements FS-100 FireStore, and the AJ-HPX2700 can make degradation-free backup recordings with DVCPRO HD stream output.*

*IEEE 1394 backup recording is possible only with the DVCPRO HD codec.

USB 2.0 Interface Compatible with Host and Device Mode

In device mode, the P2 HD cam's card slot can be used to connect a PC as an external device for nonlinear editing and transmission

HD view finder (optional AJ-HVF21G— both models)

Rear terminal (AJ-HPX2700)

over networks. In host mode, P2 files can be copied onto a hard disk without using a PC.

Multi-Function RCU System (Option)

The P2 HD VariCam comes equipped with an RCU terminal for connecting the optional AJ-RC10G Remote Control Unit. This lets you adjust the image and control the recording operation while monitoring the camera image.

Multipurpose DC OUT Terminal (4 pin)

In addition to supplying power to an LCD monitor, this terminal can be used for remote rec start/stop control by connecting it to an external switch, or as a tally lamp by connecting it to an LED lamp. This kind of multipurpose switch is handy for mounting the P2 HD VariCam to a crane or other location.

Additional Features

By mounting the optional AJ-GPS910G GPS unit, the P2 HD VariCam can record real-time position data (latitude, longitude, and altitude), conforming to UMID standards.

* The GPS unit is not available in some areas.

Built-in SMPTE time code generator/reader, with TC in/out terminal.

Genlock input terminal can also be used as return video (HD-Y/ VBS) *It can not verify 23.98PsF and the 24PsF signal.
