Advanced Recording Functions Employing Two Card Slots
In addition to continuous, double-card recording, the AG-HPD24 enables
some useful recording functions that are possible only with memory cards.
• Hot-Swap Rec: Thanks to the two card slots, you can hot-swap P2 cards
for continuous non-stop recording. With multiple cards you can record for
hours without interruption.
• Auto Rec: This function automatically starts recording in response to
SDI video input.
• Loop Rec*: This function continuously records video data onto available
memory card areas. When the card becomes full, older data is deleted to
free up the recording area, resulting in loss-less, endless recording. When
used with cameras for time-sensitive information gathering like weather
and news reporting, the loop rec function holds the latest video data for a
predetermined time period.
* Not supported in 3D mode.
Text Memo, Shot Marker and Metadata
• Text Memo: When recording or previewing a clip, you can attach a memo
(similar to a bookmark) at a desired location (up to 100 locations on a frame
basis). The simplified editing function* lets you copy a segment between
memos and create a new clip. Text information can be added to a memo.
• Shot Marker: During or after recording, you can mark each clip with OK,
NG or another designation.
• Clip Metadata: This function lets you browse and edit metadata, such as
the name of the camera operator and reporter, shooting location and text
memos. Text data can also be easily inserted by connecting a USB or
software keyboard, and metadata files can be uploaded from an
SD/SDHC card.
* Not supported in 3D mode.
USB Keyboard
Connection
The USB 2.0 keyboard terminal
lets you connect an ordinary
USB keyboard for easy metadata
text input. A software keyboard
is also provided.

Clip Thumbnail Display with Free Clip Sequencing
Using the clip thumbnail (image list) display, you can select clips for
instant playback, deletion, copying* or resequencing. This makes it easy to
gather and display clips for broadcasting or editing. The advanced GUI
displays the clip properties on the same screen as the clips and clearly
shows the source data – with scroll bar, clip count and playback position –
at a glance. The thumbnail display can be changed to show any of the
images in the clip.
* Not supported in 3D mode.
Versatile Playback Functions Meet Diverse Needs
• Format Auto Playback: This automatically detects the video format and
codec for each video clip to play back and output.
• Variable Speed Playback: For slow-motion and double-speed playback.
• PB Position Selection: This lets you select the playback position when
playing from a thumbnail image. You can select from three different
options: Previous playback position, thumbnail time code position, or the
beginning of the clip.
• Repeat Playback: This plays the selected clip (single or multiple) repeatedly.
Waveform or
Vectorscope Display
The AG-HPD24 has waveform and
vectorscope display functions for
the playback or input video signal
on the LCD monitor. It can also
display on Video Out and SDI Out.
User Buttons/User Files
You can select from a total of 31 functions for allocation to the six user
buttons. These settings are saved internally and protected when the power
is turned off. They can also be easily checked on a diagnostic display.
An user file containing the settings can be saved onto an SD/SDHC card.
