k

1080 HD images onto Panasonic’s AJ-HD3700H, AJ-HD3700A or AJ-HD3700B

2.1. Compression

The 2K Processor uses JPEG2000 compression,
the similar compression scheme specified by the
Digital Cinema Initiative (DCI) for cinema release,

to convert film to digital data for subsequent
processing in advanced DI environments while
maintaining its resolution. The processor's
advanced encoder ensures that images remain
faithful throughout the recording process, and
minimizes distortion and resolution degradation
and offers optimized bit rate control and increased
error tolerance for the reliable interchange required
for editing.

2.2. VTRs Migration

The numerous Post facilities with capital
investments in D-5 will be able to use their current
AJ-HD3700 series, and the workflow that has
worked so well for them with existing HD-D5 VTRs
can be continued with a simple software upgrade
for 2K and HD post-production.

2.3. Dual-Link SDI & I/O

For ease of monitoring and interfacing with more
traditional high definition equipment, The 2K
Processor has added a 4:4:4 to 4:2:2 conversion
capability. The full audio capability of the D-5
format is maintained, including eight-channel 24-bit
recordings, as well as the ability of the system to
handle compression audio streams for multi­channel / second language applications. Audio I/O
is by means of embedded HD-SDI or HD-D5 VTR’s
AES/EBU inputs, analog inputs. Interconnection
from the processor to the HD-D5 VTR is by
mapped compressed data over the HD-D5 VTR’s
existing HD-SDI input / outputs. The processor
accepts dual link SMPTE 372M video / 2K inputs.
Time Code in/out is embedded or HD-D5 VTR’s
XLR.

2.4. Maximum Record Time

Maximum recording time is 155 minutes, the same
as the HD-D5 VTR’s 24fps modes.

2.5. Indicator Display

Alarm indicator (RED):

When flashing, indicates that some errors
have occurred.
When lit constantly, indicates a serious
problem such as the fan has stopped or the
rear service switch is ON.

2048/1920 indicator (GREEN):

Indicates the Horizontal sample number of
System settings.

2.6. Compact and Lightweight

With a height of 2U and weight of 7.5 kg (16.5 lb),
this compact and lightweight unit can be
transported easily.

Restrictions

Reference vs. Input Signal Phase

The 2K processor does not have input buffer memory;
therefore, be sure to lock and match the phase between
the reference signal and input signals. If the signal
phases are not locked and matched, the phase of
signals, output signals might be corrupted.

System vs. Input Signal Frequency

The 2K processor does not have input buffer memory;
therefore, be sure to match the frequencies between the
system settings and input signals. If the frequencies are
not matched, output signals might be corrupted.

4:2:2 (Y Pb Pr) Output

The 2K Processor has no built-in gamma conversion.
Therefore, in the output of 4:2:2 (YPbPr color space),
only conversion from RGB (gamma = 2.2) produces
the correct hue. The hue varies in other cases.

Video Output in SEARCH and FF/REW

Video output in SEARCH and FF/REW is with low­resolution images, with low image quality.

SYSTEM setting for RGB and XYZ color
spaces

The input of color space signals that differ from those
in SYSTEM results in incorrect color space output.
Playback of recording color space signals on tapes
that differ from those in SYSTEM results in incorrect
color space output.

SYSTEM settings for 2048 and 1920
horizontal samples

Recording and playback depend on the SYSTEM
settings.

z Recording is based on the number of horizontal

samples in SYSTEM settings and Tape ID, even
when different input signals from those in SYSTEM
are supplied.

z Playback is based on the number of horizontal

samples in SYSTEM settings, even when tape with
a different number of horizontal samples from
those in SYSTEM is played back.

Example 3:

Playback of recording tape for 2048 with 1920
selected in SYSTEM settings:

On each side, 64 samples are cropped for
playback as 1920 samples.

Example 4:

Playback of recording tape for 1920 with 2048
selected in SYSTEM settings:

Black signals of 64 samples are added to each
side for playback as 2048 samples.
In 4:2:2 output, it appears as normal HD signals
with normal output due to the Side Crop function.

Example 5:

Playback of recording tape in the format of 1080/
23PsF 4:2:2 with 1920 selected in SYSTEM settings:

FRONT LED “1920” blinks rapidly. The output
signals are the freeze frame of the last image.
