Features of Recorder/player unit

Multiple Slots
AJ-HPX2000 is equipped with five slots for P2 cards. Up
to five cards may be inserted in these slots for continu-
ous recording. They also provide new recording capabil-
ities specific to memory cards.
Hot-Swap recording
The Hot-Swap capability allows cards not in use to
be replaced without interrupting recording. This
facilitates continuous recording.
Loop recording
AJ-HPX2000 can retain a certain amount of
previously recorded material by continuously loop-
recording data into a specified recording area.
PRE-RECORDING function
In standby status, AJ-HPX2000 always stores video
and sound input to the camera for up to 8 seconds
(For 1080i/720P (HD)). This means that the PRE-
RECORDING function, when turned on, records the
video and sound for a preceding duration preset by
the user. This feature recovers critical moments
that you might have missed. For DVCPRO and DV,
video and sound can be recorded for up to 15
seconds.
Proxy recording (when AJ-YAX800G attached)
By installing the optional video encoder card (AJ-
YAX800G), MPEG4 format video and real-time
metadata such as time code data can be recorded
simultaneously on the P2 card and the SD memory
card, together with the video and sound recorded by
the camera. This function is useful for confirmation
of editing of clips. For more information about the
approximate duration for proxy recording, see
[Approximate Proxy Recording Time (optional) on
SD memory cards] (page 9). Please also see
<Cautions in using SD memory cards>. (page 20)
Data protection
Data on P2 cards will not be lost due to overwriting
unless the files are deleted or the cards are
initialised. Recordings are written only to free space.

HD: Format DVCPRO HD
SD: Format User-switchable Between
DVCPRO50, DVCPRO and DV
Recorded video is compressed through a component
digital recording method that uses a state-of-the-art
compression technology, and sound is recorded using
the non-compression PCM recording method, which
excels in such areas as S/N ratio, frequency bands,
waveform properties and reproducibility of fine areas.
These methods further enhance the quality of images
and sound.
In SD mode, you can select a recording format appropri-
ate for your purpose. For example, choose DVCPRO50
to give higher priority to image quality or DVCPRO if
cost efficiency is a high priority. DV format is also sup-
ported.
Note
When the clip is played back in the format not selected
on the menu, the picture may be disturbed until the for-
mat is detected.
4-channel Digital Audio Recording (all formats)
In HD (1080i or 720P) mode, 4-channel digital audio
recording is used.
All formats in SD mode, DVCPRO, DV, and DVCPRO50,
also support 4-channel digital audio recording with high-
quality sound (48 kHz/16 bits).
Clip Thumbnailing
Automatic generation of thumbnails
AJ-HPX2000 automatically generates a thumbnail for
each recording cut (clip). It is possible to make use of
this on the camera-recorder as well as for non-linear
editing purposes, and after uploading to a server.
Thumbnail display on the LCD monitor
The 3.5-inch color LCD side of the your video
camera recorder can provide a multi-screen view
of 12 clip thumbnails. You can choose a desired clip
to playback instantly.
Seamless playback of selected clips
You can select more than one clip from the
thumbnail view for continuous playback and output
of seamless video.
Note
During continuous playback of clips in different record-
ing formats, seamless playback is not available.
Display of clip information
By selecting clips, information added to clips, such
as the recording time, Text Memo, Shot Marks and
metadata can be checked.
