14-bit A/D converter with sampling frequencies of 74
MHz. It is possible to reproduce images that are more
finely detailed.
_ Storage type high-sensitivity function (DS. GAIN)
The unit uses the storage type gain increase function by
driving the CCD progressively. With this function, it is
possible to obtain brighter pictures without increasing
noise under low light conditions.
This is a function that makes it possible to achieve
higher sensitivity of up to 20 dB above the regular gain
increase. Furthermore, this function can also be used as
picture effects.
_ Digital Zoom
The camera unit features progressive digital zoom. This
is particularly effective when you want to zoom-in closer
on the subject.
_ Auto White Balance with Automatic Tracking
capability

facilitates continuous recording.
z Loop recording
AJ-HPX2000 can retain a certain amount of
previously recorded material by continuously looprecording data into a specified recording area.
z INTERVAL REC/ONE SHOT REC
The AJ-HPX2000 features interval recording at
minimum one-frame intervals. This function is
particularly suited to shooting science and nature
programs. Frame-by-frame shooting is simple with the
one-shot recording function.
z PRE-RECORDING function
In standby status, AJ-HPX2000 always stores video
and sound input to the camera for up to 8 seconds
(For 1080i/720P (HD)). This means that the PRERECORDING function, when turned on, records the
video and sound for a preceding duration preset by
the user. This feature recovers critical moments
that you might have missed. For DVCPRO and DV,
video and sound can be recorded for up to 15
seconds.
z Proxy recording (when AJ-YAX800G attached)
By installing the optional video encoder card (AJYAX800G), MPEG4 format video and real-time
metadata such as time code data can be recorded
simultaneously on the P2 card and the SD memory
card, together with the video and sound recorded by
the camera. This function is useful for confirmation
of editing of clips. For more information about the
approximate duration for proxy recording, see
[Approximate Proxy Recording Time (optional) on
SD memory cards (Except for 24P native mode)]
(page 10). Please also see <Cautions in using SD
memory cards>. (page 21)
z Data protection
Data on P2 cards will not be lost due to overwriting
unless the files are deleted or the cards are
initialised. Recordings are written only to free space.
_ Clip Thumbnailing
z Automatic generation of thumbnails
AJ-HPX2000 automatically generates a thumbnail for
each recording cut (clip). It is possible to make use of
this on the camera-recorder as well as for non-linear
editing purposes, and after uploading to a server.
z Thumbnail display on the LCD monitor
The 3.5-inch color LCD side of the your video
camera　recorder can provide a multi-screen view
of 12 clip thumbnails. You can choose a desired clip
to playback instantly.
z Seamless playback of selected clips
You can select more than one clip from the
thumbnail view for continuous playback and output
of seamless video.
‹Note
During continuous playback of clips in different
recording formats, seamless playback is not available.
z Display of clip information
By selecting clips, information added to clips, such
as the recording time, Text Memo, Shot Marks and
metadata can be checked.
_ Text Memos & Shot Marks
Each clip can incorporate comments, in the form of text
memo added to the thumbnail associated with the time
code, together with shot marks which, for example, can
help you distinguish OK cuts from reject cuts.
Both text memos and shot marks can be added to
selected clips during and after a recording. This is
helpful for editing recorded video.
In addition, you can use the copy function for each text
memo block to take only the necessary portions out of a clip.
_ Front-mounted Sound Level Control Mechanism
AJ-HPX2000 features a front-mounted control for fine
adjustment of the sound recording level. This control is
particularly effective for adjusting the sound level when

z If the one-time continuous recording exceeds the
duration which is given in the table below when a P2
card with a memory capacity of 8GB or more is used
in AJ-HPX2000, the recording is automatically
continued on a separate clip. When performing
thumbnail operations (such as display, delete, repair
or copy) for these kinds of clips using a P2 device, it
is possible to perform the operations for the entire
recording as a single clip. However, with nonlinear
editing software or a personal computer, the
recording may be displayed as separate clips.
(Reference values when cards are used for continuous
recording with our products. Actual recording time depends

Features of the Input/Output unit
_ Features USB2.0 port (HOST/DEVICE)
_ DVCPRO (IEEE1394) output and DV output
provided as a standard configuration
Data can be input/output to an external device through
the IEEE1394 digital interface. Use a 6-pin type
connector. The unit does not support the bus power.
While operating AVC-Intra, it is impossible to input/
output data with IEEE 1394.
_ HD/SD SDI output featured as standard
Video can be output as HD SDI signals, down-converted
SD SDI signals, or analog composite signals. SDI output
includes embedded audio etc.. (Refer to page 43) Note
that the SD mode does not output HD SDI signals.
_ Down converter output provided as a standard
configuration
In HD mode, the MON OUT output connector and the
VIDEO OUT connector (in setting VBS mode) output
down converter (analog composite) signals.
It is optimum for confirming shot images on the SD
monitor. (Refer to page 43)
The camera-recorder with the AJ-YA350AG extension
board attached can record SDI signals input through the
SDI input connector only if the signals are in the same
format as the camera-recorder.
General
By connecting with a PC via USB2.0, a P2 card inserted
in AJ-HPX2000 can be used as a bulk storage device.
It is also possible to store data on a P2 card onto a USB
2.0-connected external hard disk equipped with USB
host capability as well as view clips stored on hard disks
and write them to P2 cards.
_ HD/SD SDI input function (when the AJYA350AG is attached)
_ Remote control connector
By connecting the remote control unit (AJ-RC10G),
which is available as an optional accessory, the unit can
be controlled remotely. (Refer to page 107)
_ Confirmation of return video signals
It is possible to confirm the return video signals (analog
HD-Y signals in the HD mode/VBS or Y signals in the
SD mode) supplied to the GENLOCK IN connector of
AJ-HPX2000 in the viewfinder to confirm programs.
(Only video signals from the same record format can be
confirmed.) (Refer to page 175)
_ DC OUT connector
The DC OUT connector of the unit produces 1.5 A of
electrical current.
By connecting an external switch to this connector, it is
possible to control REC start/stop.
Since a tally lamp can be used by connecting the LED
to this connector, it is useful for shooting video when
fixing the camera on a crane. (Refer to page 108)
Other features
_ Viewfinder connection
From the viewfinder connector of the unit, 1080-59.94i,
1080-50i, 480-59.94i or 576-50i signals are output.
Furthermore, signals are output for switching the
frequencies of the connected viewfinder.
Confirm images in multi formats by connecting the
viewfinder (AJ-HVF21G), which is available as an
optional accessory. (Refer to page 27)
While the AJ-VF20WBP (59.94 Hz)/E (50 Hz) can also
be connected, you cannot view video in formats with
different frequencies.
_ User button
On the side panel of the unit, three user buttons (USER
MAIN/USER1/USER2) are available.
Each button can be assigned the on/off function for any
frequently used feature selected from among the many
features of the unit, such as digital zooming and super
gain (Refer to page 51).

How to handle data recorded on P2 cards
The P2 card is a semiconductor memory card that is used as the recording medium in the professional video production
and broadcasting devices that make up the DVCPRO P2 Series.
z Since data recorded in the DVCPRO P2 format or AVCIntra (option) are in a file format, they have excellent
compatibility with PCs. The file structure is a unique
format, which in addition to video and audio data in MXF
files contains various other important information items.
The folder structure links the data as shown on the right.
LASTCLIP.TXT*
All these folders are required.
* This is the file in which the
information on the final clip
that was recorded with the P2
device is written.
Recording and Playback
Changing or deleting just one information component
could make it impossible to recognize the data as P2
data or use the card in a P2 device
Device:\
CONTENTS
AUDIO
CLIP
ICON
PROXY
VIDEO
VOICE
z When transferring data from a P2 card to a PC, or when rewriting data saved on a PC to a P2 card, to prevent data loss
be sure to use the special P2 Viewer software. Download it from the following website.
(Compatible with the Windows Vista, Windows XP and Windows 2000 operating systems.)
https://eww.pavc.panasonic.co.jp/pro-av/
z When using regular IT tools such as Microsoft Windows Explorer or Apple Finder to transfer data to a PC, follow the
instructions below. However, be sure to use the P2 Viewer when returning data to a P2 card.
Š Transfer the corresponding CONTENTS folder and LASTCLIP.TXT file together as a set.
Do not transfer individual files from the CONTENTS folder.
When copying, copy the LASTCLIP.TXT file at the same time as the CONTENTS folder.
Š When transferring multiple P2 cards to a PC, create a folder for each P2 card to prevent clips with the same name from
being overwritten.
Š Do not delete data from the P2 card.
Š Before using a P2 card, be sure to format it with a P2 device.

Basic Procedures
This section describes the basic procedure for shooting
and recording. Before you embark on a shoot, pre-inspect
your system to ensure that it works properly.
Note that the recording order is retained even if the power
is turned off. When the power is next turned on, the last
card written before powering-down will be the target card.
* For directions on inspecting your memory card camera-recorder, see
[Inspections Before Shooting] (page 138).
‹Note
When “SLOT1” is selected for the menu option P.ON REC
SLOT SEL, recording starts from the P2 card inserted in
the smallest slot number, after the power is turned on.
This option is found in the REC FUNCTION screen on the
SYSTEM SETTING page.
Battery Set-up to P2 card Insertion

Insert a charged battery pack.
Turn on the POWER switch and ensure that more
than four segments of the battery-remaining amount
indication bar are illuminated.
z If the number of illuminated segments is fewer than
five, first check the battery placement. If placement
is not the problem, replace the battery with a fully
charged one.
Insert a P2 card and ensure that the P2 CARD
ACCESS LED stays on in orange or green. Then,
close the slide-out door.
When more than one P2 card slot contains a P2 card,
the card in the slot with the lowest number is used
first. However, regardless of slot number, a P2 card
inserted later will not be accessed until the other
cards have been used.
Example:
If all five slots contain P2 cards, the cards are used in
order of slot numbers 1>2>3>4>5. However, if
the P2 card in Slot 1 is removed and then re-inserted,
the cards will be used in the following order:
2>3>4>5>1.
Switch Setting
When a battery and P2 cards are installed, set the
switches as detailed below, before starting to use your unit.

Normal Recording
REC START/STOP button, REC button on the handle or VTR button at the lens starts recording of video and sound on the
P2 card. A cluster of data that consists of video and sound generated through a shooting action, together with such added
information as meta data, is called a “clip”.
Normal Recording and Native Recording
In the unit, the camera’s recording method is selectable
between the Native recording method with the frame rate
unchanged and the normal recording method pulling the
frame rate down to 59.94 or 50 frames.
Normal recording (Pull-down recording)
Images at 24P (23.98P: referred to as 24P) are pulled down
in 2:3 mode. Images at 30P (29.97P: referred to as 30P) are
pulled down in 2:2 mode and recorded as 59.94i or 59.94P
(referred to as 60i and 60P). Images at 25P are recorded as
50i or 50P with 2:2 pulled down. 1080i and 480i support
24PA (2:3:3:2 Advanced Pull down) as well.
AVC-Intra (optional) does not support pull-down recording.
This recording method extracts and records effective frames
at the frame rates of the AVC-Intra recording (optional) in
1080i, and DVCPRO HD and AVC-Intra recording (optional)
in 720P.
For 720P, it is possible to record images where the length is
2 to 2.5 times longer than the pull-down recording.
Even in Native recording, the rate for outputting camera
images and playback images is 59.54 or 50 frames that are
pulled down.

z The recording will start from the top frame of a five-frame
cycle for 24P/24PA recording, a four-frame cycle for 24P
native recording or a two-frame cycle for 30P and 25P of
720P, respectively. Therefore, the time code may be
discontinued when recording clips continuously in
different modes during the recording cycle.
z Even if a P2 card has just been inserted, or the power
has been just turned on, you can start recording using
the internal memory of camera-recorder. In this case,
recording cannot be stopped until the P2 card is
recognised. If the inserted card is not recognized as a
recordable P2 card, the record in internal memory is
instantly discarded, and the message “CANNOT REC”
message is displayed on the viewfinder. Press the
MODE CHECK button to check P2 card status
(displayed in viewfinder).
PRE-RECORDING function
The internal memory of your unit is capable of storing
several seconds of video and sound data coming from the
camera. This capability can be used to record video and
sound several seconds before either the REC START/
STOP button, REC button on the handle or VTR button at
the lens is pressed to start recording. To use this function,
the menu option PRE REC MODE must be set to “ON”.
The storage duration of the internal memory can be set
from the menu option PRE REC TIME. PRE REC MODE
and PRE REC TIME menu options can be found in the
REC FUNCTION screen on the SYSTEM SETTING page.
The function of the menu option PRE REC MODE may be
assigned to a desired user button by using any one of the
menu options USER MAIN SW, USER1 SW, or USER2 SW.
These options can be found in the USER SW screen,
which is accessible from the CAM OPERATION page.
These are the options for PRE REC TIME.
1-15 SEC (for DVCPRO 25M or DV)

Loop Recording
When two or more P2 card slots contain cards, this
function allows the target P2 card to be switched in order.
Even when the free space of a P2 card is used up, this
function continues recording while erasing existing data.
To use this function, the menu option LOOP REC MODE
must be set to “ON” The option LOOP REC MODE can be
found in the <REC FUNCTION> screen on the SYSTEM

Data are recorded by connecting the unrecorded sections on
the P2 card (in the sequence of A to B to C). When the
remaining recording capacity is less than 30 seconds, A is
deleted, and data are record on C up to FULL (remaining
memory capacity is 0), and then new data are recorded (D).
‹Notes
z When the loop recording capability is used, each P2
card must have at least one minute of free space.
z During loop recording, the P2 CARD ACCESS LEDs for
all target P2 cards illuminate in orange. Note that if any
of the target P2 card is removed, loop recording stops.
z When the menu option LOOP REC MODE is set to ON,
the viewfinder and display window both show “LOOP”.
However, when only one card is inserted, or when each
card has less than one minute of free space, the loop
recording capability does not work, even if the option
LOOP REC MODE is set to ON. If this is the case, the
indication “LOOP” flashes in the viewfinder and on the
display window.
z When the menu option LOOP REC MODE is set to ON,
the P2 card remaining free space indicates the minimum
guaranteed recording time. The minimum guaranteed
recording time means the guaranteed time or length of
recorded data when LOOP REC stops immediately after
deleting old data.
z During recording of IEEE1394 input or INTERVAL REC
operation, LOOP REC is not available.
Terminating the Loop Recording Mode
You can terminate the loop recording mode by either:
z Turning off the POWER switch of camera-recorder; or
z Setting the menu option LOOP REC MODE to “OFF”.
Interval Recording
It is possible to record in intervals of one frame as the
shortest length by using the internal memory of the unit.
To use this option, open the REC FUNCTION screen from
the SYSTEM SETTING page, and set the interval recording
mode, REC TIME, PAUSE TIME and TAKE TOTAL TIME for
the menu option INTERVAL REC MODE. When the settings
are finalized, TOTAL REC TIME needed on the P2 card is
automatically calculated and displayed.
The following are the options for INTERVAL REC MODE:
OFF:
No interval recording performed.
ON:
Interval recording performed.
ONE SHOT:
Performs “one-shot” recording for the duration
specified under the REC TIME option by pressing
either the REC START/STOP button, REC button on
the handle, or VTR button at the lens.
‹Notes
z When executing interval recording, data cannot be output
with IEEE1394. When the 1394 CONTROL is set to

Video system and Recording format
The unit employs a progressive scan (full pixel reading) CCD system.
With combinations of the SYSTEM MODE and CAMERA MODE menu options on the SYSTEM MODE screen on the
SYSTEM SETTING menu, you can select an image system from among 23 types*1 including HD (1080i, 720P) and SD
formats.
In any image system, the CCD operates in progressive (non-interlace) scan mode. In addition, through the REC SIGNAL
menu option, you can record external input signals such as 1394 and SDI (optional).

Adjusting the White balance and Black Balance
To record high-quality video with the unit, the black and white balances must be adjusted according to conditions.
For higher quality, it is recommended that the adjustments should be made in this order AWB (white balance adjustment)
> ABB (black balance adjustment) > AWB (white balance adjustment).
Adjusting the White Balance
Whenever light conditions change, the white balance must
be re-adjusted.
To adjust the white balance, follow the steps below.
Set the switches as illustrated below.
CC/ND FILTER control
Adjust the lens iris.
Flip up the AUTO W/B BAL switch so that it is
positioned at [AWB], then release it.
The switch returns to the central position with the
white balance automatically adjusted.

Place a white pattern at a point where the light
conditions match those for the light source of the
subject. Then zoom-in on the white pattern so that
white color appears in the screen. A white object
(cloth or wall) may be used instead of a white pattern.
The illustration below shows the required size for the
white space.
The adjustment will take effect in a few seconds, and
the following message will appear:
The adjusted value is automatically stored in the
memory specified in Step 1 ([A] or [B]).
AWB A OK 3.2K

For the 3200K CC/ND filter, if the subject’s color
temperature is lower than 2300K or higher than
9900K the following message appears:
If the arrow points down (;) the actual color
temperature is lower than the temperature indicated.
If the arrow points up (:) the actual temperature is

Each value in memory is retained even if the camerarecorder is turned off; it will not be lost until the white
balance is re-adjusted. White balances are stored in either
of two systems: A or B.
When the menu option FILTER INH is set to “ON” (default),
each system stores only one value. If this is the case, the
values are not synchronised with the filters.
This option can be found in the <WHITE BALANCE
MODE> screen, which is accessible from the CAM
OPERATION page.
When the menu option FILTER INH is set to “OFF”, the
adjusted value for each filter can be automatically stored in
the memory that corresponds to the position of the WHITE
BAL switch (A or B). Your unit has four built-in filters; it
stores eight (4 a 2) adjusted values.
When the S. GAIN (super gain) function is activated, the
AWB switch does not function and the value set for PRST
is used.
Setting the auto-tracking white balance (ATW)
The unit has an auto-tracking white balance (ATW) feature
that automatically tracks the white balance for pictures
according to lighting conditions.
The ATW feature can be assigned to Position [B] of the
WHITE BAL switch. To do so, the menu option AWB B
must be set to “ATW”. This option can be found in the
<WHITE BALANCE MODE> screen, which is accessible
from the CAM OPERATION page.
The ATW feature may be assigned to the USER MAIN,
USER1, or USER2 button. For more information, see
[Assigning Functions to USER MAIN, USER1 and USER2
Buttons] (page 51).
To cancel the auto-tracking white balance
Press the user button that has the ATW feature assigned,
or change the position of the WHITE BAL switch. Note
that, when the ATW feature is assigned to [B] of the
WHITE BAL switch, the auto-tracking white balance
cannot be cancelled with a user button.

Setting Time Data
AJ-HPX2000 supports time codes, user bits, date, and time (real time) data, which are recorded as data for the sub-code
area, VIDEO AUX area, and clip metadata files. It also includes a CTL counter and camera ID.
Description of time data
Time code
User bits
The CTL counter will measure total recording time after
resetting in the recording operation. On the other hand,
this value is the count time and sets the start point of a clip
that can be played back. This can be used to find the
current playback position.
Adjustments and Settings for Recording
The TCG switch can be used to switch between Rec run
and free run.
Free run: The time code always advances even when
the power is turned off. It can be handled as
time. It can be slaved to the time code input
through the TC IN or DVCPRO/DV connector.
Rec run:
The time code is recorded as sequential
values regenerated as the time code for a clip
recorded on a P2 card.
CTL counter
Camera ID
The camera ID can be set with 10 characters a3 lines,
which can be superimposed on the color bar video. It can
be also superimposed along with date and time data.
The camera-recorder separately includes two types of user
bits: one (UB) is recorded in the sub-code area and the
other (VITC UB) in the VIDEO AUX area. Each user bits
can be recorded as any of the following: a user defined
value, time, date, same value as the time code, frame rate
information for camera shooting, externally input value
(through the TC IN or DVCPRO/DV connector), and value
regenerated as the user bits recorded in a clip on a P2
card.
The camera-recorder includes only one user defined
value. If user defined values are selected for both the UB
and VITC UB, then the same value is used.
Types of UB can be selected in UB MODE and types of
VITCUB can be selected in VITC UB, respectively.
However, in the following cases, these are fixed to the
frame rate information of the editing machines (editing
software for PCs).
z In 720P mode, both the UB and VITC UB are always
frame rate information.
z For recoding 24P/24PA in 1080i or 480i mode, VITC UB
is fixed to frame rate information.
z In Native mode, VITC UB is fixed to frame rate
information.
Date and time (real time)
The built-in clock maintains the date and time. When the
GPS unit AJ-GPS910G is installed, the built-in clock is
corrected with accurate date and time information from the
GPS. This clock is used to store the date and time while
the power is turned off and as the time for the user bits and
date data, as well as the reference for file generation times
during clip recording, which determine the sorting order of
thumbnails and the order of playback. It is also used to
generate clip metadata and UMIDs (Unique Material
Identifiers) in the VIDEO AUX area.

In the unit, there is a video signal delay in the camera,
which is required or the process of converting video
images taken with the image-shooting element from the
progressive signals to the interlace signals. Since time is
required for making the 2:3 pull-down from the 24P frame,
there is a video signal delay in the camera. When
recording from a device that can record images without a
delay and the unit is connected in parallel, it is necessary
to synchronize the time code. To set this timing, open the
<TC UB> screen from the VTR MENU page and set it in
the TC VIDEO SYNCRO item.
Set by referring to the connection example.

To externally lock the time code
Follow the steps below.

4
Position the TCG switch at [F-RUN].
Position the DISPLAY switch at [TC].
Set the menu option GENLOCK to “EXT”.
This option can be found in the <GENLOCK> screen,
which is accessible from the SYSTEM SETTING
page.
Supply a phase-relationship reference time code (that
conforms to the time code requirements) and
reference video signals to the TC IN and GENLOCK
IN connectors, respectively.
Now the built-in time code generator is locked with the
reference time code.
From about 10 seconds after locking the time code
generator stays locked even if the supply of external
reference time code is discontinued.
When the TCG switch is positioned to F-RUN, only the
time code is locked to an external time code. To lock the
user bits to an externally input value, the UB MODE and
VITC UB MODE menu options must be set to EXT and
USER/EXIT, respectively.
The menu option UB MODE and VITC UB MODE can be
found in the <TC/UB> screen, which is accessible from the
MAIN OPERATION page.
To unlock the externally locked time code
Adjustments and Settings for Recording
5
Turn on the POWER switch.
Setting the user bits when the time code is
externally locked
Discontinue external time code supply, then position the
TCG switch at [R-RUN].
Cautions in switching the power source from
battery to external power supply
Connect the DC IN socket with the external power supply
before removing the battery pack, in order to keep the time
code generator energised. If the battery pack is removed
first, there is no guarantee that the time code will stay
externally locked.
‹Notes
z When the time code generator is externally locked, the
time code instantly becomes locked with the external
time code, and the counter displays the external time
code value. Do not put the unit in recording mode before
the sync generator stabilises.
z Be sure to enter the non-drop-frame time code to
externally lock the time code in the 24P, 24PA or 24PN
(Native) mode. Externally locking the drop-frame time
code is not permitted.
Video quality may be degraded momentarily while
externally locking to adjust the 5-frame cycle. This is not
abnormal.
z While recording data in the 24P, 24PA, or Native modes,
it is impossible to lock the time code externally. Lock it
before recording.
When the unit PRE REC MODE is set to [ON] in these
modes, corrupt images or stopped time codes may be
recorded if the time code is switched from REC RUN to
FREE RUN immediately before recording or when using
slave lock.
z When “1394” is selected for the menu option REC
SIGNAL, it is not possible to synchronize with the time
code entered via TC IN connector.
The menu option REC SIGNAL is found in the SYSTEM
MODE screen on the SYSTEM SETTING page.
External synchronisation of the camera when the
time code is externally locked
When the time code is externally locked, the reference
video signals input through the GENLOCK IN connector
gen-lock the camera.
‹Notes
z To externally lock the unit, as the master device, with
more than one unit, the mode must be the same as that
of the camera. Note that in a system using both
interlaced and progressive scanning, there may be
breaks in the video and time code.
z When using the MON OUT or VIDEO OUT connector to
output reference signals, position the OUTPUT SEL
switch on the side panel at [CAM].
Superimpose of time codes
To display the time code in the viewfinder or the LCD monitor
when recording or during playback, set TC in <VF
INDICATOR2> to [TCG], [TCR], or [TCG/TCR].
To display the time code indication on the MONITOR OUT or
VIDEO OUT outputs, set MONI OUT CHARA in <OUTPUT
SEL> to [ON] and the VIDEO OUT CHARACTER switch to
[ON].
To display the time code while the color bar is displayed, set
TC ON COLOR BAR in <VF INDICATOR2> to [ON].

CTL Count Setting and Display
By setting the DISPLAY switch to “CTL”, CTL count is
displayed on the time count indication of the LCD display
window.
The CTL count is displayed in ±12 hours with non-dropframe.
The playback order of clips recorded on a P2 card is not
linear as for VTRs. It is organized according to thumbnail
operations or exchanging P2 cards, and the priority of
recorded clips will be altered. Therefore, different CTL
counts are displayed for recording mode and playback
mode, respectively.
CTL count for recording mode (recording CTL)
Recording CTL count is displayed during recording mode
(REC, REC/PAUSE, STOP and REC REVIEW), and the
count continues from the end point of the previous
recording. Recording CTL count is retained even if the
power is turned off. When the power is next turned on, the
count continues from the previous value.
z If the RESET button is pressed while the recording CTL
count is being displayed, only the recording CTL count is
reset. Note that reset is disabled during the REC
REVIEW operation.
z 24 frames are counted in the 24PN (Native) mode.
CTL count for the playback mode
(playback CTL)
During playback mode (PLAY, FF, REW, PLAY/PAUSE),
playback CTL count is displayed.
Whenever the playback order of clips is altered (clips are
sorted by shooting dates), previous playback CTL count is
disabled. The first frame of the first clip is used as a
reference value for recalculation, and the new playback
CTL count is displayed.
Example:
Current value
First frame
Clip 2
Clip 1
00:01:00:00
Clip 3
00:02:00:00
00:03:00:00
Delete Clip 2.
Current value
Clip 1
00:00:00:00

The reference value (value of the first frame of the first clip)
is changed when either of the following occurs:
z The power is turned on, the first frame becomes 0.
z When the playback CTL count is reset, the current
playback position is set as 0, and the previous reference
value becomes a negative value.
Example:
Current value

on the power may cause a malfunction. We recommend using an external DC power supply with double
the capacity of the total power consumption of the unit
and any other connected device that is turned by interlocking with the power on of the unit (the viewfinder).
Select the DC cord that is recommended for the external DC power supply.
Confirm the pin arrangements of the DC output
connector of the external DC power supply and the
DC IN socket on the unit, and connect the proper
polarities to each other.
If the +12 V power supply is connected to the GND
connector in error, it may cause a fire or failure of

z When the external DC power supply is used, ensure
that the power switch of the external DC power supply
is turned on first and then the POWER switch on the
unit is turned on. In the case of the reverse operation,
a malfunction may occur on the unit since the output
voltage of the external DC power supply is raised
slowly.

Direction for using a hard disc drive
z A hard disc drive must be used under the following
conditions:
Š It must meet the operating requirements (e.g.
temperature).
Š It must not be placed in an instable place or a place
exposed to vibrations.
z Some hard disc drives do not operate properly.
z Some hard disk drives with the SATA (Serial ATA)
interface or the PATA (Parallel ATA) interface connected
by a USB conversion cable may not be recognized.
z When copying data, a hard disc drive must have
sufficient free space.
z Do not remove the cable or the target P2 card or turn off
the camera-recorder or hard disc drive during formatting
or copying. Doing so requires the camera-recorder and
the hard disc drive to be reactivated.
z Since hard disc drives are high precision devices, there
is a high possibility that they may become incapable of
writing data depending on the conditions of use.
z Take note that we will not be liable for loss of data
caused by failed hard disc drives or any other
problem as well as direct or indirect damages
resulting from the loss of data.
z We do not guarantee that hard disc drives will operate
properly with the camera-recorder or that the data on
them will be properly retained if data copied to them from
the camera-recorder has been replaced with other data
using a PC.
z By using the drive mount converter distributed on the
following URL, the hard disk drive can be mounted in the
designated folder when connected.

Phenomenon Inherent to CCD Cameras
Smears
Smears may appear when shooting an object with very
high brightness.
This phenomenon becomes more obvious as the
electronic shutter speed becomes faster.
Replacing the Backup Battery
The camera is shipped from the factory with a backup
battery already mounted.
When the battery runs out, the [BACK UP BATT EMPTY]
display appears on the viewfinder screen for 5 seconds
after the power switch is turned ON.
The internal clock stops operating when the battery runs
out. Also, the TCG time code value returns to
[00:00:00:00], and the time code backup is disabled. The
battery must be replaced.
Please consult your distributor for replacement with a new
battery (CR2032).
The backup battery is visible when the panel on the LCD
monitor side is removed (right side when viewed from the
front).
