P2 Memory Card Recorder: Lower Operating Costs, Better for the Environment
P2 Reduces Total Cost of Ownership
(1)Faster, easier editing because digitization is not necessary (2)Lower media costs because memory cards are reusable (3)Lower maintenance costs because there is no moving mechanism By reducing editing, media and maintenance costs, P2 can help improve your bottom line. Users can also take advantage of a special fiveyear free-repair service program that Panasonic offers for P2 HD equipment.
The P2 Card Helps Preserve the Environment: Repeated Reusability and Low Power Consumption
Allowing repeated file copying and initialization, a single P2 card can be used and re-used, again and again. When combined with an IT-based workflow that requires no dubbing, P2 cards can greatly reduce storage media expenses. And because a memory card recorder has no moving mechanism, it uses less power. For example, the AG-HPX370 series uses about 51% less power than the tapebased AJ-HDX900 camcorder.

Dynamic Range Stretch (DRS)
In scenes with mixed contrast, such as when panning from indoors to outdoors, the DRS function automatically suppresses blocked shadows and blown highlights. A gamma curve and knee slope are estimated to match the contrast of each pixel, and applied in real time. When dark, bright, and intermediate shades are all contained in the same scene, this produces excellent gradation for each shade and minimizes blocked shadows and blown highlights. The images that result are enhanced by a visually wide dynamic range.
*The DRS function does not operate in 1080/25p, 1080/24p or 1080/30p mode.
3-Position Gain Selector / 24dB Gain-Up Function
There is a 3-position gain selector, with L, M and H settings. To each setting you can assign a gain value from 3 dB to 12 dB, in 3 dB steps. There is also a USER button - just give it a quick touch to instantly boost the gain by 24 dB.
Newly Developed 20 bit Digital Signal Processor
The AG-HPX370 series incorporates a high-performance 20 bit DSP that handles image rendering processes such as gamma and various detail enhancement functions with exceptional precision. Consuming less power than conventional processors, the new DSP contributes to the AG-HPX370 series outstanding environmental performance.

Flash Band Compensation

In contrast with the CCD image sensor, which accumulates still images of single frames that are exposed with identical timing, the MOS image sensor uses a rolling shutter system that sequentially scans each line of pixels. This lowers power consumption and enables high-speed drive, but because the exposure timing differs for each line, when an external flash is used, it tends to produce images where the brightness is divided between the top and bottom of the image. This is called the flash band effect. The AG-HPX370 series is equipped with highly accurate flash band detection and compensation software* on the cameras signal processing LSI. By generating pairs of frames containing flash bands, and frames in which a flash extends from the previous frame to the entire screen, and then using the compensation process to adjust the level, the flash band effect of MOS-based imagers is eliminated.

*Selecting this file does not change the video recording format. If you want to switch to 25p, 24p and 30p, you must do so as a separate procedure.
Slow, Synchro and High-Speed Shutter
The shutter speed can be set between 1/6.25 second on the slow end in 50Hz mode (1/6 second in 59.94Hz mode) and 1/2000 second on the fast end. Used with the variable frame rate function, this allows you to create a blurring effect or crystal-clear stop-motion of sports action. The AG-HPX370 series also features a synchro scan function for capturing screen shots from a computer monitor.

Cine-like Functions

7-Mode Gamma for Richer Gradation
Drawing on technologies developed for the VariCam, Panasonic has equipped the AG-HPX370 series with advanced gamma functions that address seven different shooting scenarios and enhance your creative abilities. This includes the Cine-Like Gamma, which produces the characteristic tone of film recordings.
AG-HPX370 series Gamma Modes HD NORM: Suitable for standard HD recording LOW: Works to flatten out a high contrast scene SD NORM: Normal setting for SD HIGH: Provides more contrast and color gradation B.PRESS: Provides more contrast and blacks in low contrast scenes CINE-LIKE D: The Cine-Like mode shifted to prioritize dynamic range CINE-LIKE V: The Cine-Like mode shifted to prioritize contrast
The gamma, variable frame rate and other advanced functions let you capture images with a cinema-like feel, expanding your creative and expressive possibilities.

Normal cinematic shooting (at 24 fps, 25 fps or 30 fps) refers to the same rate as used in film cameras. The AG-HPX370 series can record in 1080/24p (over 60i) or 480/24p (over 60i) mode, as well as 720/24p mode. 25 fps or 30 fps is the standard frame rates used in the production of TV commercials, music clips and video software. The AG-HPX370 series can also record in 1080/25p (over 50i), 1080/30p (over 60i), 576/25p (over 50i) or 480/30p (over 60i) mode, as well as 720/25p and 720/30p mode.
Higher-speed shooting (at over 25 fps*) produces slow-motion effects. This is especially effective for high-action scenes like car chases or crashes, or to create a dramatic impact in a scene.
*When the standard speed is 24 fps in 59.94 Hz mode. For a standard speed of 25 fps in 50Hz mode, anything over 26 fps will be overcranked.

HD NORM Mode

CINE-LIKE D Mode
20-Step Variable Frame Rate
Like the VariCam, the AG-HPX370 series allows undercranking and overcranking common in film cameras, to create fast-motion and slowmotion effects. In 720p mode,* the frame rate can be set to any of 20 steps.
*In 1080 and 480 modes, the frame rate can be set only to 25p, 24p or 30p.
Lower-speed shooting (at under 22 fps*) lets you attain a fast-motion effect. This technique can be combined with a warp-speed effect to give special emphasis to flowing water, fast-moving clouds, etc.
*When the standard speed is 24 fps in 59.94 Hz mode. For a standard speed of 25 fps in 50 Hz mode, anything under 24 fps will be undercranked.

Native and Over-50p/60p Modes
720p Native Mode In Native mode, the AG-HPX370 series records images at the frame rate set in the camera. For example in 24 pN mode, it only records 24 frames instead of the normal 60 frames*. Using the AG-HPX370 series to play back the recording at the normal rate, you can preview the speed effect right on the spot, without using a frame rate converter. Native mode also extends the recording time of a P2 card.
*In 25 pN mode in 50 Hz system mode, AG-HPX370 series records only 25 frames instead of the normal 50 frames
00% (Standard) 25% (Quick) 1 1
720p over 50p/60p Mode This is a mode for recording 50p-converted or 60p-converted video. For example, in 24p mode, it records 60 frames by applying a 2:3 pulldown. The recording time is the same as in 1080i or 720p mode, but the unit can output a DVCPRO HD stream from the IEEE 1394 connector as it records.* This lets you produce a backup copy using a connected external P2 recorder such as AJ-HPM200 or AG-HPG20, DVCPRO HD recorder.
*Only when the recording format is DVCPRO HD. There is no output when the AVC-Intra codec is used. *24p = 23.98p, 30p = 29.97p, 60p = 59.94p and 60i = 59.94i
1080/480 24p Advance Mode (in 59.94Hz mode)
The 1080 and 480 progressive recording systems convert recordings to 60i in 24p, 30p, or 24pA (Advance) mode. The 24p Advance mode uses 2:3:3:2 pulldown, which allows for an easy extraction to a 24p timeline and no quality loss in the process with compatible NLEs.*
*AVC-Intra recording is not possible. * For information on compatible nonlinear editing systems, visit <https://eww.pavc.panasonic.co.jp/pro-av/> and click "Nonlinear Compatibility Information." *24p = 23.98p, 30p = 29.97p, 60p = 59.94p and 60i = 59.94i Shown above is a sample of operation style.
Scan Reverse Function for Use with Film Lenses
The AG-HPX370 series comes with scan reverse. This function cancels the image inversion that occurs when a Cinema lens adaptor is used.

AVC-Intra Codec

Comes Equipped with AVC-Intra Codec
An AVC-Intra codec board is included as standard equipment. It allows recording in either of two modes: AVC-Intra 100 for full-pixel HD (1920 x 1080 and 1280 x 720) images, or AVC-Intra 50 for low-bit-rate, low-cost operation. AVC-Intra is a new codec that further advances HD production. It complies with the MPEG-4 AVC/ H.264 international standard based on advanced image compression technology, and offers both superb image quality and highly efficient compression. It uses an intra-frame compression system to bring important advantages to professional editing. In the AG-HPX370 series, a new single-chip digital signal processor is integrated with the AVC-Intra codec circuit. This is another way the AG-HPX370 series reduced power consumption.

High-quality 1920 x 1080 pixel, 10 bit, 4:2:2 HD recording
High-Image-Quality AVC-Intra 100 Mode
With the same bit rate as DVCPRO HD, this mode supports full 10 bit recordings with 1920 x 1080 pixels. It enables the AG-HPX370 series to capture master-quality video for high-end video production.
Low-Bit-Rate AVC-Intra 50 Mode
This mode delivers video quality very similar to DVCPRO HD, yet is able to do so at bit rates usually associated with standard definition (e.g., DVCPRO 50). AVC-Intra 50's lower bit rate doubles the recording time per P2 card over DVCPRO HD and lowers storage requirements for editing.
HD Multi-Format Capability, Including Native 24p
The AVC-Intra 100 and 50 codecs let you record in a choice of HD video formats: 1080/25p, 1080/50i, 1080/23.98p or 29.97p as well as 1080/59.94i. These HD formats bring extra flexibility to all of your production needs. The AG-HPX370 series also supports 720p recording for HD image production in a variety of formats, including 50p, 59.94p, 23.98p and 29.97p.
A sample image recorded by an AVC-Intra 100 codec. It is a still image captured from 1920 x 1080-pixel video recorded using 10 bit/4:2:2 sampling.
Selectable DVCPRO HD Recording
The AG-HPX370 series also supports the conventional DVCPRO HD codec. Because the AG-HPX370 series are designed to be used with the AG-HPX170 series/HVX200A series or a DVCPRO HD VTR, it adapts to a variety of system configurations.
48-kHz/16 bit, 4-Channel Digital Audio
The AG-HPX370 series can record full 48-kHz/16 bit digital audio on all four channels. You can freely select the audio source for each channel, choosing from mic-in, line-in and wireless receiver.

Intra-Frame (I-Frame Only) Compression Superiority
Motion-image compression can be divided roughly into two methods: I-Frame Only compression, which completes all processing within each frame, and Long GOP compression, which processes across multiple frames. AVC-Intra and DVCPRO HD use I-Frame Only compression, while HDV uses Long GOP compression. The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 standard encompasses both methods. When the images of adjacent frames are similar, Long GOP compression achieves an advantageously low bit rate. However, this trait is not often seen in broadcasts like flash-filled press conferences, fast-action sports, and video with rapid move and electronic displays. Also, because processing is performed frame-by-frame in I-Frame Only, new-generation multi-core CPUs offer high-speed parallel processing. This makes I-Frame Only compression more suitable for nonlinear editing than Long GOP, for which parallel processing is difficult due to its inter-frame dependence. With its I-Frame Only compression, AVC-Intra produces remarkably stable images that are unaffected by adjacent frames, and meets professional needs in virtually all situations and workflows.

P2 cards feature a large capacity of up to 64 GB*1, a compact size, and light weight. In addition to the semiconductor memorys inherent resistance to impact, vibration and temperature change, the P2 card also offers outstanding reliability. Unlike tapes and discs, it has no rotating or physically contacting parts. Its built to withstand repeated recording and initialization over many years of use. The P2 card connector is specifically designed to stand up to the repeated insertion and removal involved in professional use. The E Series*2 (AJ-P2E016XG, AJ-P2E032XG, and AJ-P2E064XG) provides lower cost recording capability for those customers with budgetary concerns.
*1: Total card capacity includes space for data management such as system data; therefore, actual usable area is less than the capacity indicated on the card. *2: When using the P2 card E Series, software updates are necessary for certain P2 devices.

Immediate Startup and Better Data Protection
When you press the Record button in standby mode, the AG-HPX370 series instantly finds a blank area on the P2 card and begins recording. It can begin recording immediately even when youre using it to preview video. In normal use, there is no chance of accidentally overwriting a recording. Recordings will not be erased unless you intentionally delete a file or initialize the card.

Clip Thumbnail Function

The P2 HD camcorder automatically generates a thumbnail image for each clip. You can view thumbnails on the built-in color LCD monitor. Any of the clips can be accessed instantly. Thumbnail images can be paused, fast-forwarded, and reversed just like a tape, and unwanted cuts can be deleted by selecting and deleting the corresponding thumbnail
image. You can also specify a number of clips for seamless playback* or on-air broadcasting from fields. And if a shooting opportunity should arise during playback, the P2 HD cam lets you start recording immediately with no cueing required and no risk of accidentally overwriting valuable data.
* Seamless playback is not possible between clips recorded in different formats.

New One-Clip Rec Mode

The One-Clip Rec mode is handy for recording a variety of events. Whereas normal Rec mode produces a clip for each Rec start/stop cut, One-Clip Rec mode records up to 99 consecutive cuts as a single clip, which greatly improves the nonlinear editing work that follows. A text memo is automatically attached when recording begins, making it easy to find desired cuts within the clip.

REC START REC START REC START REC START
Pre-rec*: While in standby mode, you can continuously store, and subsequently record, up to 3 seconds in HD (7 seconds in SD). This will help you to get your shot every time. Interval rec*: This gives you automatic intermittent recording based on a set interval and recording time. One-shot rec*: This frame-shot recording function is useful for producing animations. Rec review: This lets you run a quick playback check of the 2 to 10 seconds that lead up to the end of the clip you have just recorded.
* These functions cannot be used for variable frame rate, native mode, and 1080/24p over 59.94i, 720/24p over 59.94p, 720/25p over 50p recording. * Pre-rec is not possible in loop-rec, interval-rec, or one-shot rec mode.
Text Memo (Bookmark) for Simple Editing
When recording or previewing a clip, press the Text Memo button at any of up to 100 locations and a text memo label, similar to a bookmark, is registered. Using only the AG-HPX370 series, you can create a new clip with data copied between text memo labels. Text information can also be written into each memo using the AG-HPX370 series or a PC with P2 Viewer installed. A shot mark, which allows convenient OK and NG marking, can also be added to each clip during or after recording.
*Text memo, shot mark can not be added in Loop-rec, Interval-rec, or One-shot rec mode.

Direct Upload to a PC*1 or Nonlinear Editor
The AG-HPX370 series records the A/V data for each recording as a file on the P2 card, which eliminates the need for digitizing. The files can be used directly in a nonlinear editing system or transferred over a network or simply onto a Hard Disk Drive. The P2 card transfers data at a high speed up to 1.2 Gbps*2 giving you faster, easier operation. The P2 card is convenient too you can plug it directly into the card slot on certain laptops.

*1: PCs must be installed with the included P2 driver in order to mount P2 cards. For editing, PCs must be installed with P2-compatible editing software available from various companies. Read Notes Regarding the Handling of P2 Files Using a PC on the back page. *2: 1.2Gbps is maximum transfer speed when using P2 card E series. Transfer speed is subject to be changed depended on system configuration.
The AG-HPX370 series comes with an SD/SDHC card slot. You can create a metadata upload file (produced with P2 Viewer software or the Third Party software,) containing information such as clip name, the name of the camera operator, the recording location, and text memos on an SD/SDHC card, and load it as clip metadata. This information will be very useful when it comes to editing the project and quickly finding the right clip to place on the timeline. The SD card slot is also used to upload scene files, user files and firmware updates.
Proxy Data Recording (Option)
When the AJ-YAX800G proxy video encoder is installed, the AG-HPX370 series can record MPEG-4 proxy (low-resolution) data onto a P2 card and SD/SDHC card. This can be used for quick viewing of dailies with timecode, and its low bit rate provides easy transmission over wired and wireless networks.
*Proxy data cannot be recorded when recording with the variable frame rate in Native/Pull-down mode, or when Loop-rec, interval-rec, or one-shot rec is used. Proxy data refers to MPEG-4 low-resolution AV data in file form for moving images and audio, with timecode, metadata, and other management data included. The use of DCF Technologies is under license from MultiFormat, Inc.
Advanced Recording Functions Employing Two Card Slots
In addition to continuous, double-card recording, the AG-HPX370 series also enables some useful recording functions that are possible only with memory cards. Card selection: The recording slot can be changed (sequential switching). This lets you review, organize, edit and transmit justrecorded content. Content can also be organized while shooting, by switching cards for each scene category. Hot-swap rec: Thanks to the two card slots, you can hot-swap P2 cards for continuous non-stop recording. With multiple cards you can record for hours without interruption. Loop-rec*: The real benefit of loop recording can only be dramatized when you dont know when the event is going to happen, you just know that it will. By allocating the open space on the cards the camera will continue to record over that area until the operator pushes the stop button, thereby assuring that the recording has been made, and the event captured.

Low Power Consumption Only 19 W
By developing a new energy-efficient DSP and integrating the AVC-Intra codec circuitry with it, Panasonic significantly downsized the printed circuit board. This not only makes the AG-HPX370 series smaller and lighter, it also reduces power consumption. The new image sensor helps lower power consumption too. Together, these innovations reduce power use to only 19 W during recording. The lower battery consumption can mean greater mobility in the field.
