Standard HD-SDI Output

an Sdi (hd/Sd) output terminal enables serial transfer of 
uncompressed video and audio data. in addition to its use in 
ordinary digital broadcasting environments, it also allows 
synchronized recording with a Panasonic digital recorder (P2 hd/
hd-d5/dvCPro hd).

USB 2.0 and IEEE 1394 PC Interfaces

• The USB 2.0 interface lets you transfer P2 files to a Windows 
PC for use with a nonlinear editing system.
• The IEEE 1394 (6-pin) port supports SBP2 (Serial Bus Protocol 
2) and allows direct connection to a Mac, making it easy to 
transfer P2 files for use with Final Cut Pro. it also allows 
synchronized recording with a dvCPro hd vtr and file transfers 
to an external hard disk drive.

*neither operates with bus power. 
*PCs must have the P2 driver installed in order to mount P2 cards. For editing, PCs must 
have P2 compatible editing software installed. read “notes regarding the handling of P2 
Files Using a PC” on the back page. 
*For information on compatible nonlinear editing systems, visit https://eww.pavc.panasonic.
co.jp/pro-av/ and click “Nonlinear Compatibility Information.” For the operating requirements 
and other details of editing software, visit the web site of the relevant software manufacturer.

TC Set and User File Copy with Multi-Cameras

Connecting two ag-hPX170 series cameras with an ieee 1394 
cable allows the slave camera to synchronize with the master 
camera which enables time-code-matched editing with multiple 
cameras for “TC synchro editing”. 

Other Professional Features and Interfaces

• Tally lamps: Provided on the unit’s front and rear.
• Remote: Controls zoom, rec, focus and aperture.
• D-4 out: The analog component output lets you preview on an 
ordinary hd/Sd tv monitor.
• XLR audio input: 2-channel mic/line inputs supporting 48V 
phantom power supply.
