Recording Functions with Five P2 card Slots
The AJ-HPX2000 has slots for five
P2 cards and lets you record
continuously onto all five in
sequence. It also provides several
entirely new recording functions
that are possible only with memory
cards.
•Card selection:
The recording slot
can be changed (sequential
switching) even during recording.
This lets you retrieve and transmit
just-recorded news material, without interrupting the recording. Recorded
content can also be organized while shooting, by switching cards for each scene
category.
•Hot-swap-rec:
you can replace a full memory card with a blank one while the
P2 cam is recording onto a second card. Successively swapping cards this way
gives you virtually unlimited recording capability.
•Loop-rec:
By loop recording onto a specified recording area, you can continue
to record over a fixed area.
•Pre-rec:
While in standby mode, you can continuously store, and subsequently
record, up to 8 seconds of video and audio in HD (15 seconds in DVCPRo).
In effect, this lets you record footage of events that occur even before you press
the rec start button, giving you a way to "go back" and capture moments you
otherwise would have missed.
•Interval rec:
Recording one frame at a time at set intervals (from 2 frames to
10 min), this mode is useful for monitoring and special ultra-undercranking effects.
Clip Thumbnail Function
The P2 cam automatically generates a thumbnail image for each clip. you can
view thumbnails on the 3.5" color LCD monitor on the P2 cam's side. Any of the
clips can be accessed instantly. Thumbnail images can be paused, fast-forwarded,
and reversed just like a tape, and unwanted cuts can be deleted by selecting and
deleting the corresponding
thumbnail image. you can also
specify a number of clips for
seamless playback* or on-air
broadcasting. And if a shooting
opportunity should arise during
playback, the P2 cam lets you start
recording immediately with no cueing required and no risk of accidentally
overwriting valuable data.
*Seamless playback is not possible between clips recorded in different formats.SD Memory Card Slot
Text Memo (Bookmark) for Simple Editing
When recording or previewing a clip, press the Text Memo button at any of up to
100 locations and a text memo label, similar to a bookmark, is registered.
Using only the P2 cam, you can create a new clip with data copied between text
memo labels. Text information can also be written into each memo using the
AJ-HPX2000 or a PC with P2 Viewer* installed. A shot mark, which allows
convenient oK and NG marking, can also be added to each clip during or after
recording.
*See "Notes Regarding the Handling of P2 Files Using a PC" on Page 8.
SD Memory Card Slot
The AJ-HPX2000 comes with an SD Memory Card slot. you can create a metadata
upload file (produced with P2 Viewer*) containing information such as the name
of camera operator, the name of the reporter, the recording location, and text
memos on an SD Memory Card, and load it as clip metadata.
