■ Expanded high-speed hard disk interface
● High-speed eSATA interface
The unit now supports hard disks using the eSATA interface,
which is faster than the regular USB interface. This interface
provides faster backup of video data on a P2 card to hard disk
and can restore hard disk data to a P2 card.
● Playback (best effort) and playlist editing of hard disk video
data
Video data on a hard disk can be viewed as thumbnails or a

video stream. A protective feature ensures a
continuous audio output even if reading performance drops
due to use of a slow hard disk or through interference such as
vibrations.
Playback of hard disk video data
on a hard disk in the same way as editing video on a P2 card.

■ Gigabit Ethernet network supported
● FTP client
In the thumbnail screen, this network allows to select video
stored on a P2 card or external hard disk and transfer it at high
speed via an FTP server on the Internet. Video stored on an
FTP server can be displayed and selected as a thumbnail for
downloading to a P2 card or external hard disk. And SD
memory card data can be sent by the card to and from an FTP
server. The network also enables transmission of data
encrypted using SSH.
● Browser
A browser mode enables the user to browse web sites with
web page authentication required for connecting to the
Internet.
● FTP server
By starting up the unit as an FTP server in recording and
playback mode you can use a PC or other FTP client to read
and write video files stored on P2 cards. However,reading and
writing files over a network is not possible during recording
and becomes pending during playback.
In LAN mode, the unit can operate as an FTP server allowing
a PC or other FTP client to load video files stored on P2 cards
or in an external hard disk.
● SAMBA server
When connected to a Windows computer or other network
computer, the unit can operate as a SAMBA server to load
video files stored on P2 cards or in an external hard disk.
● HTTP server
Using the unit as an HTTP server allows you to view lists of
video data from a browser on a computer, view metadata, and
play back proxy data.

Introduction: Features

enables editing of video
■ Editing and GUI
● Independent audio and video editing
Any video and audio (4ch) tracks can be independently
selected for editing.
● Insert editing and overwrite editing
Two types of editing are available: insert editing, in which new
events are added between two editing events and overwrite
editing, in which a new event overwrites an event.
● Rewrite Edit function
This editing function allows the clip to be modified and
overwritten.
● Two screens for editing material and playlist video
Editing material (player) and playlist (recorder) video appear
in two screens at all times. A timeline indicating editing status
appears simultaneous with these screens for intuitive editing.
● Capability to edit both tape and hard disk material
Use of a VTR or similar device with an RS-422A interface as
player makes possible linear-like editing (deck-to-deck
editing). Video data transferred to an eSATA or USB hard disk
can also be edited.
● Function for adjusting audio level (variable) of any section
Preview and audio level adjustments make it possible to
operate the audio playback fader for the required audio
section to adjust the audio level (variable).
● Display and playback of player thumbnails
A player using P2 cards or a hard disk can display player
thumbnails. Thumbnails can be set to limit the clips used by
the player to the required clips.
■ Audio AES/EBU input and output supported (16/
24 bit, 48 kbps/4 ch)
The unit comes with a 4-channel AES/EBU input and output
interface as standard. This enables interfacing with digital
audio equipment and digital VTRs using a 48 kHz sampling
rate.
■ AVCHD option (AJ-YCX250G)
Installation of the AJ-YCX250G, an optional AVCHD codec
board, will enable recording and playback of the AVCHD
format on SD memory cards.
This makes the following possible.
• Dubbing AVCCAM recorded clips onto a P2 card in the
DVCPROHD or AVC-Intra format, playlist editing of such
clips and ingesting such clips to non-linear editor.
• Dubbing P2 card clips recorded on a P2HD camera-
recorder to an SD memory card in the AVCHD format.
• HD-SDI or other external input can be recorded as
DVCPROHD or AVC-Intra to a P2 card simultaneous with
recording of the same input in AVCHD format video on an
SD memory card.
