System Interfaces
Compatible with Mac and Windows Nonlinear Editing
With its IEEE 1394 (4-pin) and USB 2.0 interfaces, the
AG-HVX200A connects directly to Mac and PC.*
The IEEE 1394 port supports SBP2 (Serial Bus Protocol 2) and allows
direct connection to a Mac, making it easy to transfer P2 files for use
with FinalCutPro nonlinear editing software. When you've recorded on
mini DV tape, the AG-HVX200A can stream to a conventional DV-
compatible nonlinear editing system.
The USB 2.0 interface lets you transfer P2 files to a Windows PC for
use with a nonlinear editing system (Adobe, Avid, Grass Valley or
Matrox products). These two interfaces provide you the best
performance for Mac and Windows nonlinear editing systems.*
External Recording with IEEE 1394 Streaming
The IEEE 1394 interface can be used
to control an external device synched
with the camera's Start/Stop
operation, making it easy to create
backup recordings. For DVCPRO HD
recording,compatible device is the
AJ-HD1400. Also when used in
combination with the Firestore Drive,
the FS-100 or the P2 Gear,
the AG-HPG10, the time for
recording can be extended by virtue
of the additional cards or the size of
the HDD in the Firestore. Note that
the Firestore can take the full 720P/24 over 60 frames signal out of the
1394 connection and record in the 24PN mode, giving you over 4.5
hours of recording time on the FS-100-160.
Transferring Files to an External HDD
The AG-HVX200A offers a host function. Insert a P2 card in the card
slot, and data can be transferred to an external Hard Disk Drive
(AC Power Supply needed) via the IEEE 1394 port.

Analog Component Signal Output
The AG-HVX200A is equipped with analog component signal (Y, P
P
) terminals for outputting 1080i, 720p and 480i (each 59.94 Hz)
R
camera video signals. This lets you preview recorded clips on an
ordinary HD/SD TV monitor.
16:9 Squeeze and Letterbox Modes
The AG-HVX200A can record in SD with a 16:9 or 4:3 aspect ratio.
When 16:9 is selected, the AG-HVX200A can record in native 16:9
recording or can be switched to a letterboxed 4:3 image.
*1: The PC must have the P2 Driver installed in order to mount the P2 Cards. For editing, the PC must have P2 Compatible editing software installed.
Read "Notes Regarding the Handling of P2 Files Using a PC" on the back page.

TC Set and User File Copy with Multi-Cameras
Connecting two AG-HVX200A cameras with a IEEE 1394 cable allows
the second camera to synchronize with the first camera which enables
time-code-matched editing with multiple cameras. This cable does
not need to stay connected. The built-in SMPTE time-code
generator/reader lets you select the Drop Frame/Non-Drop Frame
and Free Run/Rec Run modes, preset and regenerate*. User bits are
also provided.
User files (with sets of camera settings) can be transferred to an SD
Memory Card and shared with other cameras. This makes multiple
camera set-ups fast and easy. Scene Files and Operational files are
separated so that if only the "look" is desired that can be used vs, all
of the camera's operational settings which would include everything
from Viewfinder Display to Recording Format.
* Regenerate — available in tape mode.

Compatibility with Nonlinear Editing Systems
In developing DVCPRO and P2 products, Panasonic has been
working in collaboration with a number of strategic P2 Partners.
The results are products that offer maximum compatibility with
existing hardware and software, including IT-based system platforms
and nonlinear editors and network servers.
Adobe, Apple, Avid, Grass Valley, Matrox and MainConcept have
announced support of the DVCPRO HD P2 file recorded by the
AG-HVX200A. Using nonlinear editing systems from these three
leading companies, you can produce High Definition video from native
DVCPRO HD files.*
