AJ-HPX2000 integrates a camera unit equipped with three CCDs, incorporating a 2/3-inch on-chip lens featuring
progressive drive technology (All-pixel reading), and a video recorder/player (VTR) that supports DVCPRO HD,
DVCPRO50, DVCPRO and DV formats.
AJ-HPX2000 offers choices of 1080i/720P mode for HD and NTSC/PAL mode for SD. It also provides features such as
storage-type gain enhancement for news reports and film-like gammas for production purposes, providing many
applications ranging from news reports to production.
Utilising P2 cards, which require no mechanism, as media, your unit offers greater responsibility, operability, and
portability. It is highly resistant to shock and vibration during recording, and therefore ensures stable operation for
capturing quality video images under the most adverse conditions.
