Metadata Management

with Wireless Connectivity

P2 files can be provided with metadata containing
the recording time, GPS position (when mounted
with the option), text information (such as content
name and staff information) and text memos tagged
to selected frames. The AJ-HPX3100G P2 Camera
Recorder uses a new wireless connection function* to
input metadata from a tablet terminal or
smartphone. Metadata-based searching and
managing make it easy to integrate editing,
broadcasting and archiving operations.

* The optional AJ-WM30 Wireless Module and AJ-SFU3100G Upgrade
Software Key are required for wireless connection.

More Functional Proxy Data for

Flash News Reports and Offline Editing

P2 cam (compatible models) can generate low-rate
proxy data (video and audio) for breaking news
transferred by public network or Webcasts. And the
proxy data can be efficiently handled in advance
with offline editing. The AJ-HPX3100G P2 cam can
also generate*higher quality "AVC Proxy" data and
allows proxy previews on a wireless terminal.

*The optional AJ-YDX30G Video Encoder Board is required for using
proxy data.

P2HD Effectively Reduces CO

Emissions

From a management standpoint, environmental
efforts are being increasingly reflected in the image
and value of today's corporations. P2HD products
meet the stringent Panasonic "Green Product"
certification standards, which testifies for their
excellent environmental performance. P2HD is
closely linked with environmental conservation in
routine broadcasting and production operations,
making it a true with next-generation technology.

Reusing:

Because abrasion-free, dropout-free P2

cards can be rewritten, TV stations don't generate
large amounts of used tape like they do with VTRs.
Also, because P2HD systems use solid-state memory,

there are fewer parts to replace — such as recording
heads and transport mechanism — which again cuts
down on waste.

Reducing:

P2 memory card recorders are lighter and

require less power than VTRs. In actual use, a variety
of other processes combine to reduce power
consumption even more, such as the fact that a
compact, lightweight design and fast start-up let you
stand-by on location with the power turned off.

New Devices Further Cut Power Consumption

Reducing power consumption is one of the highest
priorities in the development of P2HD products.
The AJ-HPX3100G Camera Recorder achieves this
with integrated circuitry such as a newly developed
digital signal processer and AVC-Intra codec LSI.
Compared with the previous AJ-HPX3000G, which
was marketed from 2007 to 2010, it cuts power
consumption by about 23%. The AG-HPG24 Portable
Recorder incorporates an image-processing LSI to
bring greater compactness, lighter weight, and lower
power consumption to AVC-Intra recording and
playback. In fact, it reduces power consumption by
about 92% compared to the AJ-HD3700B HD D5
VTR, which as marketed from 2003 to 2010.

Helping to Conserve

the Environment

The new systems cut CO

emissions

under the dual themes of

“Reuse” and “Reduce.”

Metadata, Proxy, Wireless and Other

Functions Enhance IT Integration to

Revolutionize the Workflow

When recording, a variety of information is

registered as metadata in P2HD files and proxy

files. Recordings can then be transmitted to a

station by a Field Pick-up Unit (FPU) from a

broadcast van equipped with the AJ-HPM200 or

delivered on a P2 card, HDD or SSD. Prior to the

data's arrival, low-rate proxy or AVCHD*

files

can be transferred by FTP over the Internet for

on-air broadcasting of breaking news, review to

get up a program, or off-line editing.*

All recordings are archived so network terminals

inside the station can search for and preview

them based on metadata.*

*1: The optional AJ-WM30 Wireless Module and AJ-SFU3100G
Upgrade Software Key are required for wireless connection. A
device is connected in ad-hoc mode only. *2: Proxy data can be
saved only in PCs/Macs. *3: Conversion to AVCHD files requires
an AJ-HPM200 Memory Card Recorder equipped with an optional
AJ-YCX250G AVCHD Codec Board. *4: See page 22 in this
catalog for information on P2 alliance partners. *5: You may
need to update its firmware. Please refer to the “service and
