First Standard-Equipped AVC-ULTRA Codec
From mastering to streaming, the
image quality and bit rate can be
selected to match the application.
Panasonic's professional A/V codec
family, AVC-ULTRA, is provided as
standard equipment for the first
time ever, to meet the particular
needs of broadcasting and image
production.
An intra-frame compression method that is highly
suited to image production. In addition to the conventional
AVC-Intra100/50, an optional AVC-Intra200 codec will be available.*
1
With superb images that approach uncompressed quality and
24 bit audio, it offers a level of quality that meets the needs of mastering
and archiving.
An inter-frame compression method that achieves
high-quality HD recording at a low bit rate. Ideal for providing on-air
content direct from the shooting location and for workflows using content
transferred over the internet. Four bit rates are available:
AVC-LongG50/25/12*
1
/6*
1
Mbps. AVC-LongG25 provides 10 bit/4:2:2
quality at a bit rate of approximately 25 Mbps.
Low-bit-rate, high-resolution, high-
sound-quality proxy video (Quick Time/H.264) is also recorded
with the actual data.*
2
Also includes metadata for efficient
offline editing. See the table (AVC-Proxy Recording Modes and
Recording Signals) on Page 5.
*1: Available in the near future.
*2: Proxy recording is not possible with Loop Rec. Proxy data refers to file-based data of low-bit-rate
motion images and audio together with management data, such as a time code and metadata.

Standard-Equipped microP2 Card Slots
The AJ-PD500 is the first recorder
to come with two slots for the
microP2 card, the new
broadcast-use memory card
downsized to match the size of a
conventional SD memory card.
•
microP2 card: While inheriting
the high reliability of the P2 card
and maintaining the large
capacity of 64 GB,*
1 the microP2
card was greatly downsized to
match the size of an SD memory
card, thus resulting in a
considerable reduction in cost.
•
Content Protection System
(CPS): A new security function
featured on the microP2 card.
The content recorded on the card
is locked with a password to
protect against unauthorized access. This prevents data from being stolen
and enables secure media control.
•
P2 Card Slots: Two conventional P2 card slots can be used.*
2
• Highly Mobile and Reliable: The microP2 and P2 cards are highly
resistant to temperature changes, dust, impacts, and vibration, and there
are no worries about condensation, head clogging, or dropout as there are
with VTR systems. Data is recorded onto empty card spaces, so there is no
need to search for the beginning and ending of recorded portions. There is
also no danger of mistakenly recording over existing data.
*1: Total card capacity includes space for data management, such as system data; therefore, the actual
usable area is less than the capacity indicated on the card. See the "Recording Times" table on Page 5 for
recording times.
*2: The microP2 card and P2 card cannot be used simultaneously.
Network Solutions
(Available in the near future)
The low-rate AVC-Proxy and AVC-LongG6 codecs are well suited to high-
speed workflows using a LAN or the internet. Their image and sound
quality is high enough for use as a direct broadcast source for breaking
news over the internet. They also allow images to be clearly confirmed for
offline editing, to greatly streamline the workflow. The AJ-PD500 features
a Gbit Ethernet LAN terminal, FTP client function, and FTP/Samba server
function for file transfers over a LAN or the internet. An HTTP server
function can also be accessed from a web browser to provide the following
solutions.
•
Proxy Preview: AJ-PD500 clips can be displayed as thumbnail images on
a PC or Mac for previewing and streaming proxy images.
•
Metadata Editing: The metadata on AJ-PD500 clips can be searched and
edited (or input) on a PC or Mac. The actual data and proxy data both
share the metadata, so the edited results can also be reflected in the
actual data.
•
Playlist Editing: Playlists can be edited and saved. They can also be
played, SDI output, and copied using a web application. After editing the
playlist on location or over the internet, proxy-image news flashes can be
transmitted from the playlist*. Then, the actual data can be FTP transferred
or carried to the studio, and the previously sent playlist can be used for SDI
output of program footage. Maximizing network functions helps to
streamline and speed-up the workflow.
* This workflow will be available in the future.
