Production Quality DVCPRO HD, DVCPRO50 and
DVCPRO, and Multi-Codec Recording
The AG-HPX170 series records HD video with outstanding image
and audio quality onto a P2 card with the DVCPRO HD codec.
This codec, thanks to a low compression ratio at a video bit rate
of approximately 100 Mbps (1080/50i, 720/50p) and the easy-to-
edit intraframe compression system, is suitable for recording fast-
moving subjects with no motion artifacts other than motion blur.
The 4:2:2 sampling rate minimizes jaggies at chroma edges.
Sound quality is excellent too, thanks to uncompressed 16-bit,
4-channel digital audio recording capability. The AG-HPX170
series can record in 1080/25p or 720/25p HD, and it's compatible
with the SD (576i) format. The multi-codec system allows you to
record in DVCPRO HD, DVCPRO50, DVCPRO or DV.

Large-Capacity P2 Cards — Compact, Speedy and Reliable
The P2 card offers a large capacity of up to 64GB*
light weight package. Its rugged design withstands even harsh
professional use. It is highly resistant to temperature fluctuations,
dust, impact and vibrations, and is free of the problems that are
common in tapes, such as condensation, head clogging and
dropouts. The P2 card promises solid reliability and excellent
mobility under the often difficult conditions of field recording.
Because data is automatically recorded in blank card spaces,
there is no need for cueing and the risk of accidentally
overwriting valuable data is eliminated. The newly released,
low-cost E series*
(AJ-P2E016XG/ AJ-P2E032XG/AJ-P2E064XG)

provides a new level of lower cost recording capability for those
customers budgetary concerns.
*1: Total card capacity includes space for data management, such as system data; therefore,
actual usable area is less than the capacity indicated on the card.
*2: When using the P2 card E Series, software updates are necessary for certain P2 devices.

Immediate Startup and Better Data Protection
When you press the Record button in standby mode, the
AG-HPX170 series instantly finds a blank area on the P2 card and
begins recording. It can begin recording immediately even when
you're using it to preview video. In normal use, there is no chance
of accidentally overwriting a recording. Recordings will not be
erased unless you intentionally delete a file or initialize the card.
