Introduction
■ 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.
●P2 card and recording times
Recording time on a single 32 GB P2 card

■ 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 (requires optional board) recording as well as 720P
DVCPRO HD and AVC-Intra (requires optional board)
recording. At 720P, this lengthens the recording time 2 to 2.5
times over pull-down recording.
Even during native recording at a system frequency of 59.94
Hz or 50 Hz, the unit will still produce pull-down output.
■ Film-style cine-like gamma correction
The unit is capable of correcting video shot using the film-style
cine-like gamma mode provided by variable frame rate
cameras to create film-quality video.
■ 9-inch Wide LCD Monitor
A 9-inch wide LCD monitor is provided for ease of viewing HD
video.
