Introduction
Features
The AJ-HPM200 is a portable memory card recorder/player equipped with six P2 card slots and a 9-inch color LCD monitor. It allows you to record and play back audio and video in the compressed DVCPRO HD, DVCPRO50, DVCPRO, DV and AVC-Intra formats on the six P2 cards, to edit P2 card and hard disk video data and edit using an external VTR as a player. The AJ-HPM200 comes with the following features.
Introduction
Introduction: Features 13
■ Connecting a P2 Card Camera
A P2 card recorded in a P2 camera recorder plugs directly into a PC card slot in this unit for immediate access. The P2 card is a semiconductor memory card that Panasonic developed for professional AV use.
■ AVC-Intra standard feature
The AVC-Intra codec is provided as a standard feature.
An Intra-Frame compression format based on the H.264 video compression standard makes possible a high compression rate and high-quality image.
The AVC-Intra codec for this product is compatible with the following two formats.
AVC-Intra 100: High-quality video supporting full-bit HD AVC-Intra 50: Low-rate and low-cost operation
■Built-in up/down/cross converter for output and up converter for input
The AJ-HPM200 provides a built-in up/down/cross converter for output as standard. It also up-converts composite and SD-SDI input signals to record in the same HD format as the system.
NOTE:
•The cross converter function is not available during up-conversion recording.
•SD closed caption signals during up-conversion recording are recorded in the 608 HD (VANC) signal format (59.94 Hz only).
•Closed caption signals are not output during playback or downand cross-conversion.
•Nor are closed caption signals output during playback of upconverted SD signals.
■ Frame rate conversion
Recording input from variable frame-rate cameras at 24PN (Native), the unit is also capable of playing back cards recorded at 24 fps and converting the output to 1080/24 PsF. It can also record input from a variable frame-rate camera at 25PN (Native).
NOTE:
•Do not use cards that have been edited or contain clips shot in different formats as the loss of management data may prevent normal playback.
■ Native recording
The unit provides support for native recording, a mode that records only active frames. This provides longer recording time when a VariCam, AJ-HPX2000/2100 or AJ-HPX3000 is connected to the HD-SDI IN connector. Variable frame rate (VFR) recording becomes possible by connecting a VariCam.
●Native recording defined
Native recording extracts only the active frames during 1080i AVC-Intra recording as well as 720P DVCPRO HD and AVC-Intra recording. At 720P, this lengthens the recording time 2 to 2.5 times over pull-down recording.
14 Introduction: Features
During native recording at a 59.94 Hz or 50 Hz setting in setup menu No. 25 (SYSTEM FREQ), the unit produces pull-down output.

■ Thumbnails for managing clips visually
The 9-inch color LCD monitor displays video clips (thumbnails) stored on a P2 card. The viewer can select the thumbnails he wants to see and change the order in which they appear.
Clips can be selected from the thumbnail list for immediate playback. The list also provides quick access to other clip management operations such as copying and deleting, adding shot marks and text memos as well as confirming and editing clip data.
■ 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 smooth *1 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 *1 enables editing of video on a hard disk in the same way as editing video on a P2 card. Playback *1 of hard disk video data enables direct editing.
*1: This does not guarantee playback without frame skipping.
■ 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
The unit can operate as an FTP server allowing a computer 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.
■ 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.
●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 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 camerarecorder 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.
■ Waveform and vector display
The LCD screen can display either video waveform or vector waveform.
During up-conversion, a waveform is displayed after upconversion.
NOTE:
• A waveform is not displayed when there is no input signal.
■ HD-SDI remote
When the unit is connected to a camera-recorder with an external device control, start and stop of recording of HD-SDI signal input can be automatically controlled through recording start and stop signals in the input.
■ USB keyboard
A USB keyboard can be connected to enable the following functions.
●Entry and editing of clip metadata
●Network setup, browser
NOTE:
• Some USB keyboards may not enable normal input.
■VANC data recording/playback function (59.94 Hz, 50 Hz only)
Recording and playback of ancillary data (VANC data) of up to 5760 bytes per frame conforming to SMPTE 291M is superimposed on the vertical blanking area of video.
