Remote Control-Ready
The AG-EC4G Extension Remote Control Unit (to be released in autumn
2009) or AJ-RC10G Remote Control Unit* offer both studio use and direct
connection to the AG-HPX300. This lets you adjust the images and control
the camera operation while viewing the monitor.
*The AJ-RC10G can control only functions supported by the AG-HPX300 Series. It cannot control
unsupported keys or dials.
HD/SD SDI Output Terminals and Down-Converter
The AG-HPX300 Series comes with two output types: a composite video
output and two SDI outputs. In addition to HD-SDI output, the internal
down-converter allows high-quality SD video to be output. The aspect
mode is selectable.
• SDI OUT (HD/SD):
Can also output signals with embedded audio. When
the AG-HPX300 is set for HD-SDI output, backup recording operation
can be interlinked with the Rec Start/Stop controls of an HD-SDI input-
equipped Panasonic recorder, such as the AG-HPG20. The AG-HPX300
can also output down-converted SD-SDI from an HD source.
• VIDEO OUT:
Outputs SD (composite) signals. HD signals are down-
converted.
USB2.0 Interface
The AG-HPX300 standard USB2.0 connector supports both Host and
Device modes. In Device mode, a P2 card slot can be used as an external
PC device, making it easy to upload data to a nonlinear editing system or
network server. In Host mode an external hard disk drive can be connected
to the slot, making it easy to copy data from the P2 card, write data to the
card, or view thumbnails of stored video clips.
IEEE 1394 Interface
The IEEE 1394-compliant DVCPRO (6-pin) output connector lets you input/
output HD/SD compression streams including DVCPRO HD without
decoding.* This means you can connect and use a DVCPRO HD VTR or P2
HD recorder for degradation-free backup recording.
* Output is not possible in 720p native mode (25pN), Interval-rec, and One-shot rec mode.
AVC-Intra is not supported. Text
memo, shot mark can not be added in Loop-rec, Interval-rec, or
One-shot rec mode.
TC IN, TC OUT, and GENLOCK IN Terminals
The AG-HPX300 has a built-in SMPTE time code generator/reader. TC IN
and OUT terminals make time code throughput possible. The GENLOCK IN
terminal permits external time-code lock.
