AG-HPX255/HPX250
Focus FS-P250 (by VITEC) Proxy File Recorder
(Optional)
The optional Focus FS-P250 Proxy Recorder is
compatible with the AG-HPX255/ HPX250 camera
recorders. The Focus FS-P250 records proxy files onto
SD/SDHC memory cards in parallel with the AVC-Intra or DVCPRO format
files recorded onto the P2 cards in the camera recorder.*
2
The proxy files
are compatible with P2 file format and are linked to the P2 footage via
filename, ID and metadata. This allows the proxy files to be easily used
for offline editing applications; the editor only needs to replace the proxy
data with P2 data before rendering the final video production.*
3
The
Focus FS-P250 supports high quality video (Quick Time/H.264) and audio
formats (see chart below) at a low bit rate. The Focus FS-P250 high
quality proxy files can be used for breaking news and other scenarios that
would benefit from proxy workflows. Moreover, the Focus FS-P250
streamlines production workflow by allowing the editor to review the
content details during offline editing.
Proxy Viewing by Wireless Connection
(Optional)
The Focus FS-P250 Proxy Recorder also features a wireless web
interface. When using the AJ-WM30 Wireless Module with the Focus
FS-P250, proxy files can be streamed / viewed via standard web browser
on a PC/Mac, tablet, or smartphone.*
4
While viewing the streamed files,
metadata can be added to the proxy files. Using a PC/Mac also enables a
cloud-based workflow by uploading and sharing video data via a network.

Panasonic Website (http://pro-av.panasonic.net/).
*2: Proxy data cannot be recorded when using the Loop REC or Interval REC function. Proxy data is a
low-resolution video and audio data with time code, metadata, and other management data in a file
format.

"Service and Support" on the Panasonic website.
