ADVANCED AVC-INTRA CODEC AND P2 CARD'S EXTENDED CAPACITY ENABLE LONG-TIME RECORDING AND BROADCASTING OF HIGH-QUALITY HD IMAGES
Reliable, Low-Cost P2 Card with 32 GB Capacity
The compact and light P2 card holds 32 GB* (AJ-P2C032RG) of data. The new AJ-HPM110 P2 Mobile records AV data as MXF files, which expedites and streamlines news gathering and program production. Because the P2 card has no moving mechanisms, it offers outstanding reliability and high resistance to impact, vibration and temperature fluctuations. Reusable many times, the P2 card can reduce operating costs and minimize environmental impact.
*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.
High-Quality Images with AVC-Intra 100, Low Bit Rate with AVC-Intra 50
AVC-Intra 100 records high-quality, full-pixel, full-sampling HD images (1920 x 1080, 4:2:2, 10-bit) at the same bit rate as DVCPRO HD, while AVC-Intra 50 provides DVCPRO HD-level images (1440 x 1080, 4:2:0, 10bit) at a low bit rate and low operating cost. The AJ-HPM110 can be set to either mode to meet a wide range of HD production needs.

INTRA-FRAME (I-ONLY)

Six P2 Card Slots
With its six card slots, the AJ-HPM110 holds six 32 GB P2 cards for recording over 3 hours of DVCPRO HD, 8 hours of DVCPRO HD / AVC-Intra 24p native or 4 hours of AVC-Intra 24p native content. It will play a continuous, extended clip recorded in sequence onto six P2 cards. Or, you can mount five P2 cards recorded using a P2 cam, and output the playlist editing result to a sixth P2 card.
*For detailed recording times, see the table entitled "Input Signals and Corresponding Recording Formats" on page 4.

Optional Board for AVC-Intra Recording and Playback

The AJ-YBX200G codec board (purchased separately) adds AVCIntra codec recording and playback capabilities to the AJ-HPM110. The AVC-Intra codec is based on the advanced motion image compression technology of the H.264 standard, which brings superb image quality, a highlyefficient encoding, and outstanding editing precision to broadcasting applications. The intra-frame compression system of this codec ensures stable quality for fast-motion images, degradation-free frame-by-frame editing, and fast processing with a multi-core CPU. The high-accuracy intra prediction process (see diagram below) and advanced, context-adaptive entropy coding technology combine to provide twice the intra-frame compression efficiency of MPEG-2.
Endless Recording with Loop Rec
The loop rec function continuously records video data onto available memory card areas. When the card becomes full, older data is deleted to free up the recording area, resulting in loss-less, endless recording. When used with cameras for time-sensitive, information gathering like weather and news reporting, the loop rec function holds the latest video data for a predetermined time period.

*Image data is recorded continuously in available areas (in the order A B C) of the P2 card. When the remaining recording time drops to 30 seconds, data in area A is deleted, and data is recorded in area C until it becomes full (0 seconds remaining), then data is recorded in area D.
Eight Channels of 16-bit Digital Audio
AVC-Intra and DVCPRO HD offer superb 16-bit linear PCM sound quality, with eight embedded channels for recording in 5.1-channel surround sound. The AJ-HPM110 P2 Mobile uses HD-SDI for independent input/output and editing of all eight channels. The SD mode supports four-channel recording and playback in all codec systems (DVCPRO 50, DVCPRO, DV).

Native 24p Recording with 1080/24PsF
The AJ-HPM110 supports 1080/24p (30p/25p) recording and playback in both AVC-Intra 100 and AVC-Intra 50 modes. In HD-SDI mode, it supports 1080/24PsF input/output for use in high-end movie production. The AJ-HPM110 combines easy portability and convenient nonlinear acquisition in a 24p recorder.
HD/SD Multi-Format Compatibility
Supporting a wide range of HD formats, such as 1080p, 1080i and 720p, the AJ-HPM110 can be switched to 59.94 Hz or 50 Hz to adapt to the world's HD broadcasting formats. It also supports SD, and multi-codec recording (DVCPRO 50, DVCPRO, DV) is possible in both NTSC (480i) and PAL (576i).
Speed Effects with the VariCam/AG-HVX200
The AJ-HPM110 can extract active frames from VFR (variable frame rate) signals output by a VariCam and record them in 720/24p (30p/25p). The built-in monitor lets you check the VFR effect during playback. The AJ-HPM110 can also provide VariCam-like 60p pull-down output (50p from 25p signals) by playing back a video clip in a P2 card recorded in native 720/24p (30p/25p) by a P2 camera-recorder.
Up-/Down-/Cross-Conversion
The AJ-HPM110 can convert up or down between HD and SD or crossconvert between 720p and 1080i during playback. Also featuring an aspect conversion function, the versatile AJ-HPM110 handles a wide range of video formats.

Reliable, Low-Cost P2 Card with 64 GB Capacity
The compact and light P2 card holds 64GB* (AJ-P2C064AG) of data. The new AJ-HPM110 P2 Mobile records AV data as MXF files, which expedites and streamlines news gathering and program production. Because the P2 card has no moving mechanisms, it offers outstanding reliability and high resistance to impact, vibration and temperature fluctuations. Reusable many times, the P2 card can reduce operating costs and minimize environmental impact.
*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.
High-Quality Images with AVC-Intra 100, Low Bit Rate with AVC-Intra 50
AVC-Intra 100 records high-quality, full-pixel, full-sampling HD images (1920 x 1080, 4:2:2, 10 bit) at the same bit rate as DVCPRO HD, while AVC-Intra 50 provides DVCPRO HD-level images at a low bit rate and low operating cost. The AJ-HPM110 can be set to either mode to meet a wide range of HD production needs.

Optional Board for AVC-Intra Recording and Playback
The optional AJ-YBX200G codec board adds AVC-Intra codec recording and playback AJ-YBX200G capabilities to the AJ-HPM110. The AVC-Intra codec is based on the advanced motion image compression technology of the MPEG4 AVC/H.264 standard, which brings superb image quality, a high-lyefficient encoding, and outstanding editing precision to broadcasting applications. The intra-frame compression system of this codec ensures stable quality for fast-motion images, degradation-free frame-by-frame editing, and fast processing with a multi-core CPU. The high-accuracy intra prediction process (see diagram below) and advanced, context-adaptive entropy coding technology combine to provide twice the intra-frame compression efficiency of MPEG-2.

Endless Recording with Loop Rec
The loop rec function continuously records video data onto available memory card areas. When the card becomes full, older data is deleted to free up the recording area, resulting in loss-less, endless recording. When used with cameras for time-sensitive, information gathering like weather and news reporting, the loop rec function holds the latest video data for a predetermined time period.

*Image data is recorded continuously in available areas (in the order A B C) of the P2 card. When the remaining recording time drops to 30 seconds, data in area A is deleted, and data is recorded in area C until it becomes full (0 seconds remaining), then data is recorded in area D.
Eight Channels of 16 bit Digital Audio
AVC-Intra and DVCPRO HD offer superb 16 bit linear PCM sound quality, with eight embedded channels for recording in 5.1-channel surround sound. The AJ-HPM110 P2 Mobile uses HD SDI for independent input/output and editing of all eight channels. The SD mode supports four-channel recording and playback in all codec systems (DVCPRO 50, DVCPRO, DV).

Native 24p Recording with 1080/24PsF
The AJ-HPM110 supports 1080/24p (30p/25p) recording and playback in both AVC-Intra 100 and AVC-Intra 50 modes. In HD SDI mode, it supports 1080/24PsF input/output for use in high-end movie production. The AJ-HPM110 combines easy portability and convenient nonlinear acquisition in a 24p recorder.
HD/SD Multi-Format Compatibility
Supporting a wide range of HD formats, such as 1080p, 1080i and 720p, the AJ-HPM110 can be switched to 59.94 Hz or 50 Hz to adapt to the world's HD broadcasting formats. It also supports SD, and multi-codec recording (DVCPRO 50, DVCPRO, DV) is possible in both NTSC (480i) and PAL (576i).

Speed Effects with the VariCam
The AJ-HPM110 can extract active frames from VFR (variable frame rate) signals output by a VariCam and record them in 720/24p (30p/25p). The built-in monitor lets you check the VFR effect during playback. The AJ-HPM110 can also provide VariCam-like 60p pull-down output (50p from 25p signals) by playing back a video clip in a P2 card recorded in native 720/24p (30p/25p) by a P2 camcorder AG-HPX170 series or P2 camcorder AG-HPX170 series or AG-HVX200A series.
Up-/Down-/Cross-Conversion
The AJ-HPM110 can convert up or down between HD and SD or crossc-onvert between 720p and 1080i during playback. Also featuring an aspect conversion function, the versatile AJ-HPM110 handles a wide range of video formats.
