RGB 4:4:4/10-bit

Log Output (AJ-HPX3700)

Both models come ready for system expansion with an HD SDI terminal that allows camera-through 1080/24PsF output.

The AJ-HPX3700 adds a second HD SDI output terminal that can serve for dual-link output. HD images can be output with RGB 4:4:4 quality and the 10-bit Log (P-10Log) gamma curve*, ideal for high-end movie production using an uncompressed recorder.

*P-10Log images can be used only with camera-through output. They cannot be recorded onto a P2 card.

Film-Rec Gamma Monitor

In Film-Rec gamma mode, a cinema compensation function converts the signal to provide high-contrast images for monitoring with ideal gradation. Both the viewfinder and monitor display a fully preserved Film-Rec gamma curve while the images are recorded onto a P2 card or output from the HD SDI terminal. "VF Gamma" can be set from the menu for the LCD and viewfinder display, and "Mon Gamma" can be set for monitor or remote output.
