_ DO NOT REMOVE PANEL COVERS BY
UNSCREWING THEM.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove
the covers. No user serviceable parts inside.
Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
_ THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE GROUNDED
To ensure safe operation, the three-pin plug must be
inserted only into a standard three-pin power outlet
which is effectively grounded through normal
household wiring. Extension cords used with the
equipment must have three cores and be correctly
wired to provide connection to the ground. Wrongly
wired extension cords are a major cause of fatalities.
The fact that the equipment operates satisfactorily
does not imply that the power outlet is grounded or
that the installation is completely safe.
For your safety, if you are in any doubt about the
effective grounding of the power outlet, please
consult a qualified electrician.

uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not
installed and used in accordance with the instruction
manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in
which case the user will be required to correct the
interference at his own expense.
Warning:
To assure continued FCC emission limit compliance, the
user must use only shielded interface cables when
connecting to external units. Also, any unauthorized
changes or modifications to this equipment could void
the user’s authority to operate it.
CAUTION:
The mains plug of the power supply cord shall
remain readily operable.
The AC receptacle (mains socket outlet) shall be
installed near the equipment and shall be easily
accessible. To completely disconnect this
equipment from the AC mains, disconnect the mains
plug from the AC receptacle.
CAUTION:
In order to maintain adequate ventilation, do not
install or place this unit in a bookcase, built-in
cabinet or any other confined space. To prevent risk
of electric shock or fire hazard due to overheating,
ensure that curtains and any other materials do not
obstruct the ventilation.
CAUTION:
z
KEEP THE TEMPERATURE INSIDE THE RACK
BETWEEN 41°F to 104°F (5°C to 40°C).
z BOLT THE RACK SECURELY TO THE FLOOR
SO THAT IT WILL NOT TOPPLE OVER WHEN
THE UNIT IS DRAWN OUT.

Operating Precautions
_Power supply
Use an AC 120 V (U.S.A. and Canada) power supply.
z Be sure to take hold of the power plug when connecting and
disconnecting the power cable.
z Do not run the power cable near a heating source.
z Do not place heavy objects on top of the power cable.
z Do not tamper with the power cable in any way.
_No insertion of foreign matters
Do not insert or drop metal or any foreign objects into the unit’s
openings (such as the fan vents).
Foreign objects inside the unit can cause a fire or short circuits.
Contact the dealer for assistance.
_No disassembly
High voltage is supplied to some parts inside the unit, and
touching these parts is not only dangerous but may cause a
malfunction.
Leave all internal insections and adjustments to the dealer from
whom you purchased the unit.
_DANGER: No operation if unit is
malfunctioning
If smoke comes out or strange sounds or smells are detected
from the unit, ask the dealer from whom you purchased the unit
for repairs.

Overview/Features
1. Overviews
This new 2K Processor (AJ-HDP2000) for the HD-D5 VTRs (AJ-HD3700H*1, AJ-HD3700A*1, AJ-HD3700B*2)
is designed for post-production and telecine systems, and this new technology provides a cost-effective and
efficient method of recording, editing and archiving full-size 2K and 4:4:4 HDTV images on the film postproduction standard D-5 mastering video tape recording system.
The 2K Processor allow professionals to record full 12-bit 4:4:4 “2K” 2048 k 1080 resolution film image data, or
12-bit 4:4:4 sampled 1920
HD-D5
VTRs for editing, archiving, and distribution, a process that formerly was not easily achievable.
*1The software must be upgraded. For details, contact the dealer where you purchased the product.
*2The software for some VTRs must be upgraded. For details, contact the dealer where you purchased the
product.

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.
