Introduction

The AJ-HDC27H is a camera-recorder that supports the SMPTE-296M 1280a720 scanning standard.

Integrated in this single unit are an HD color video camera featuring a 1-million pixel IT-CCD unit with onchip lens as the image sensor, and a DVCPRO HD format VTR incorporating the latest compression technology.

The camera unit supports a variable frame function and film tone gamma function, and it also supports the

Ultra Prime lenses for 35 mm film cameras as a standard feature.

Featuring a 100 Mbps recording rate for the VTR as well, this unit is capable of recording images with an extremely high picture quality to achieve the highest performance and most sophisticated functions as an integrated camera-recorder for electronic field production (EFP) applications.

Furthermore, it is compact and lightweight, has low power consumption, and excels in achieving a high level of picture quality, sensitivity, and mobility, and is extremely dust-proof and moisture-proof. These are all attributes which enable the unit to be used for electronic news gathering (ENG) applications as well.

Since digital signal processing is provided in both the camera unit and VTR unit, the picture quality is further improved while the unit’s stability is also enhanced.

SD memory cards meeting global standards can be used for the camera and VTR setting data as part of a system which can accomplish data management.

Features

O

Switchable frame frequency: 59.94 Hz or 60.00 Hz

O

12-bit analog-to-digital converter incorporated

O

Two HD SDI output lines

Variable frame rate

Frame-drop (under-cranking) shooting and high-speed

(over-cranking) shooting, which are special film shooting techniques, have been achieved for the first time in a video camera.

The variable frame rate function can be set as desired from 4 fps (frame/sec.) to 60 fps.

The shutter speed can also be set from 0.8% of the frame rate (aperture angle: 3 degrees) to 97.2%

(aperture angle: 350 degrees), enabling full use to be made of many different presentation techniques.

Along with continually recording at 60 fps, the VTR unit enables specific effective frames alone to be marked with time codes so that off-line editing using a conventional DVCPRO HD VTR is possible. This makes it possible to construct a 24 fps production system with minimal equipment investment.

Film tone gamma function

In the beginning, the first and foremost aspect defining the manifold powers of expression that only the medium of film could achieve was the extent of a film’s latitude (reproduction range). What Panasonic did was to use its resources to develop an exclusive gamma curve for reproducing film tones by means of the CCDs, and this led to the capability of expressing natural gradations and reproducing a rich variety of colors—something that was beyond the means of conventional video cameras. The AJ-HDC27H incorporates a total of three gamma curves—two cine curves (for films/for videos) and the conventional video gamma curve—and it enables the curve that best suits the application at hand to be selected. The powers of expression achieved as a result are comparable to those provided by film. The high sensitivity that is simply superior to film cameras delivers an excellent balance between brightness and high picture quality: indeed, the kind of sensitivity that corresponds to ISO640 enables shooting with the same kind of feel as ultra-fine-grain films.

When the conventional video gamma curve is to be used, set the unit to the video mode using the CAM

MENU SEL item on the OPTION screen of FILM

(CAM) MAIN MENU 4.

When one of the cine curves is to be used, set the unit to the film mode using the CAM MENU SEL item on the OPTION screen of FILM (CAM) MAIN MENU 4, and then select the desired curve by setting the CINE

GAMMA SEL item on the GAMMA screen of FILM

MAIN MENU 1.

Features of the camera unit

Prime lens mode

Not only the lens that does justice to the sensitivity equivalent to a film but also the various devices and equipment that are peripheral to the camera combine to play roles which are so critical that they cannot be divorced from the technical skills of the person operating the camera. Using an HD lens adapter made by

Angenieux, this unit supports the ultra-prime lenses used for film cameras as a standard feature. What’s more,

Panasonic has achieved an industry first by incorporating as a standard feature, a scan reverse function, which cancels out image reversal occurring when the adapter is used, and switching can be easily accomplished by a menu setting.

The unit also supports slide bases, matte boxes and other film camera equipment which users may have been using for years.

A full range of long viewfinders, small LCD monitors and other options available from related manufacturers is available, and the maximum can be derived from formats ranging from films to HD with the same ease afforded by simply changing the main camera unit.

Film user menu

Panasonic does its best to cater to film camera users not only on the functions and performance front but also in terms of operation.

For instance, it has provided a cinema image menu

(FILM USER MENU) which brings together on one page the setting items that are frequently used in location cinema shooting.

Along with the gamma curve selection and scan reverse

ON/OFF functions, the settings for the hard and soft texture adjustments, gradation settings for the shadow areas, latitude adjustments, and tungsten lighting

(3200K) type or daylight (5600K) type can be selected just like with films on one menu screen.

Digital signal processing

Analog signals are converted into digital signals through

12-bit A/D conversion at a sampling frequency of

74.1758 MHz (59.94 Hz)/74.25 MHz (60.0Hz).

This processing not only enhances the picture quality, stability and reliability but it also enables the viewfinder screen displays and many of the adjustment and setup items to be configured in a menu-driven format.

4-piece filter disc sets available as standard accessories

The filter best suited to the subject’s brightness and color temperature can be selected. Two independent sets of filter discs, one for CC and one for ND, each with four filter discs, are provided as standard accessories.

Features of the VTR unit

Digital system

The pictures are compressed by a component digital recording system that uses the latest compression technology while non-compression PCM recording featuring excellent signal-to-noise ratio, frequency band, waveform characteristics and reproduction of detailed areas is employed for the sound. The result is an even higher picture and sound quality.

Power saving management (SAVE REC) function

When the VTR unit is used for recording, the playback system circuitry can be shut down, making it possible to perform operations with a lower power consumption.

Scene-to-scene continuity

Simply by pressing the VTR START button or lens

VTR button, continuity between the scenes is obtained at a precision of 0 to +1 frame.

Rec review function

The last 2 to 10 seconds of a recording are automatically rewound and played back to enable the user to quickly check what has been recorded.

Playback function

This function enables the playback picture (in black and white) to be viewed on the viewfinder screen.

Color playback pictures can be output from the HD

SDI MON connector.

Built-in time code generator/reader

The same or separate time code information can be recorded on the dedicated sub-code track and video

AUX area, and played back.

External locking of time code

The built-in time code generator can be locked to an external generator. A lithium battery is used as the backup power supply of the built-in time code generator to back up the memory data for about a year even when no power is supplied to the unit.

Tape management information

As the tape management information, this unit automatically saves the frame rate information on the shooting speeds, the active frame information on the first frame where the frame image was switched, and the active frame count information in the user bits of the sub-code track area (which used to be the LTC area).

Built-in DOLBY NR system

The cue audio recording circuitry contains a Dolby B noise reduction circuit.

Audio functions

O

A phantom power supply type of microphone

(optional accessory) with sharp directivity characteristics can be attached. It can also be detached from the unit for use as an interview microphone.

O

Other kinds of microphones can also be connected and, using the model AJ-MH800G microphone holder (optional accessory), attached to the unit.

NEWS REC function

This function especially supports shooting in the context of news gathering or documentary filming to ensure that no opportune shutter opportunities are passed up.

In other words, by controlling the start key acknowledgment time, the unit can continuously record without the user having to interrupt the recording: this safeguards against the failure to record those precious moments—a failure that occurs when recording is resumed after it has been shut down temporarily.

RETAKE function

This function is for not leaving behind superfluous cuts when a cut turns out to be no good during the shooting of news, reports or art programs.

Users should remember to handle this function very carefully.

If there is enough leeway in the shooting time and a particular cut is clearly judged to be no good, the tape is rewound to the start of the cut concerned and the rec pause (rec standby) mode is established by operating the MODE CHECK button and lens RET button. Since recording is now commenced from that point on the tape, the no-good cut will be deleted. In order to prevent the cut prior to the no-good cut from being deleted, a part of the no-good cut equivalent to ten or so frames is left behind.

By cutting down on the time taken for copying onto the work tape, for instance, this function is very effective in achieving economical operation.

INTERVAL REC function

This function makes simple interval shooting possible.

It proves to be very effective when shooting programs with a nature theme or art programs.

If both the battery pack and the external DC power supply are connected, the electric power is supplied from the external DC power supply. While the external DC power supply is used, the battery can be mounted and removed on/from the unit.

O

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.

Adjusting the white shading

This unit comes with a function for storing white shading adjustment values. Up to eight of these values can be stored in the internal memory.

Alternatively, they can be stored on an SD memory card.

Using this data, it is possible to quickly reproduce the appropriate white shading adjustment even after switching lenses.

<Notes>

O

The method below can be used for the white shading adjustments with most lenses. However, with some very special lenses, a different adjustment method may be necessary.

O

Even when the white shading has been adjusted, tinting may occur in the vertical direction near the lens aperture open position. This is a phenomenon which is inherent to lenses and optical systems and is not indicative of malfunctioning.

Storing white shading adjustment values

1

Attach the lens to the camera.

At this stage, do not forget to connect the lens cable.

2

Set the electronic shutter to OFF, and set the gain to “L (0 dB).”

Adjusting the white balance and black balance

Adjusting the white balance

Preset white balance

Set the WHITE BAL switch to PRST. The white balance for the selected filter is now obtained in accordance with the position where the FILTER control (outer) has been set.

If the preset white balance is to be left unchanged for use, skip ahead to “Adjusting the black balance” (page

58).

1

Set the switches as shown in the figure.

White balance adjustments using the

AWB function

A better picture can be achieved by adjusting the white balance and black balance in the following sequence: AWB (white balance adjustment) 5 ABB

(black balance adjustment) 5 AWB.

There is usually no need to re-adjust the black balance even when the power has been turned off and back on.

The white balance must always be re-adjusted when the lighting conditions have changed.

If the display mode is set to “2” or “3,” messages advising the user of what progress has been made in the adjustments and what the adjustment results are appear on the viewfinder screen when the black balance or white balance adjustment is commenced.

Set the display mode to “1” if these messages are not to be displayed.

O

For details on the display mode settings, refer to

“Display modes and setting change messages”

(page 50).

<Note>

With artificial lighting—particularly fluorescent lights and mercury lamps—the luminance may appear to be constant but the intensity of the R, G and B colors will change in synchronization with the power line frequency. Especially in regions with a 50 Hz power line frequency, mutual interference arises between the vertical sync frequency (approx. 60 Hz) of this unit and lighting frequency (50 Hz). As a result, the hue tends to change with the passage of time or flickering occurs, making it impossible to achieve a proper white balance.

It is recommended that the white balance be achieved using the settings shown in the table below.

FILTER control

WHITE BAL: A or B

OUTPUT: CAM

GAIN: Normally 0 dB

Set to a more suitable gain level if it is too dark.

When the GAIN and WHITE BAL switch settings are changed, messages advising the user of the set positions appear on the setting change message display of the viewfinder screen.

(However, this happens only when “3” has been set as the display mode.)

Select the FILTER control setting in accordance with the lighting conditions.

For examples of the FILTER control settings, refer to the description of the FILTER control

(page 14) in the “Shooting (recording)/playback function section.”

When the FILTER control setting is changed, a message advising the user of the set positions appears on the setting change message display of the viewfinder screen. (However, this happens only when “3” has been set as the display mode.)

This camera-recorder enables the frame rate

(shooting speed) to be set from 4 fps to 60 fps.

Since the 720P/59.94 Hz or 720P/60.00 Hz format is used for recording onto the tape or outputting to the

HD SDI MON connector and the HD SDI EE connector , users now have the exciting opportunity to create a whole new dimension of moving images with clearer slow-motion images and blur effects—a world which was hitherto confined to the field of film production—in their own video productions.

This unit automatically stores as the tape management information both the frame rate information which indicates the shooting speed and the active frame information which indicates the first frame where the frame image was switched in the user bits of the sub-code track area (this used to be the LTC area). This information is output from the TC

OUT connector, HD SDI MON connector and HD SDI

EE connector. Further, the active frame information is stored in the least significant digit of the user bits while the frame rate information is stored in its lower third and fourth digits.

Setting the frame rate

There are three ways in which the frame rate can be set.

(continued)

<Notes>

In this unit, the frame rate is set by changing the storage time of the optical signals sensed by the CCD.

Depending on the frame rate setting, the following phenomena may arise.

1 White blemish

White blemishes may be seen on the screen on account of the fluctuations in the dark current of the photodiodes which make up the CCD picture elements.

This current increases in direct proportion to the rise in the CCD’s temperature and storage time in the photodiode.

In short, the white blemish increase in inverse proportion to the frame rate setting.

When a lower frame rate setting is desired, reduce the master gain setting and, where possible, avoid direct sunlight and use the unit in a cool environment.

When using this unit particularly at a low frame rate of 11 fps or less, the extremely small white streaks generated by the CCD are minimized using a special method. For this reason, when subjects with extremely small bright spots are shot, these spots may appear less bright.

2 Delayed response time in automatic processing

When the frame rate setting has been lowered, it takes longer for the unit to perform the automatic processing (such as auto white balance, flare compensation, auto knee and auto iris), possibly giving the user the impression that something is odd or wrong.

The response time for automatic processes is particularly slow at a frame rate of 20 fps and below.

When the frame rate has been set to 20 fps or below, it is recommended that the unit be operated with the automatic processing released.

3 Disturbed images

The images may be disturbed for an instant when shooting while maintaining the frame-to-frame continuity of the scenes with the time code set to the rec run mode and with the frame rate set at 24 fps, 25 fps, 30 fps or 50 fps.

This occurs in order to reset the video signals from the camera so as to maintain the continuity of the time code recorded on the tape.

The disturbed images are not recorded on the tape but they will affect the signals which are output from the HD SDI MON connector.

Similarly, the images may also be disturbed for an instant when the time code has been locked to external signals or preset while the frame rate is set at 24 fps, 25 fps, 30 fps or 50 fps.

If the time code has been set to the free run mode, the images may also be disturbed at that instant when the frame rate is switched to 24 fps, 25 fps,

30 fps or 50 fps.

The images will not be disturbed during recording even if the frame rate is switched to

24 fps, 25 fps, 30 fps or 50 fps.

However, the active frame and time code sequence will not be retained.

Externally locking the time code

1

Set the POWER switch to ON.

2

Set the TCG switch to F-RUN.

3

Set the DISPLAY switch to TC.

4

Supply the reference time code and reference video signal which are in a phase relationship that satisfies the time code standard to the TC IN connector and GENLOCK IN connector respectively.

Example of connections for external lock

The time code generator of the VTR unit can be locked to an external generator.

When locking to an external signal

Reference time code

Reference video signal

TC IN

2

The built-in time code generator is now locked to the reference time code.

About 10 seconds after locking, the external lock status will be retained even if the connection of the externally supplied reference time code is disconnected. However, the servo lock will be subject to disturbances if it is connected or disconnected during recording (REC).

<Note>

When the external lock operation is performed, the time code is instantly locked to the external time code, and the same value as the external code value appears on the counter display.

Do not set the unit to the recording mode during the few seconds it takes for the sync generator to stabilize.

User bits setting when the time code is externally locked

When the time code is externally locked, only the time data is locked to the time data of the external time code.

This means that the user bits can be set separately for each unit.

The user bits can also be locked to the user bits of the external time code. For details, consult your dealer.

To release the external lock

First stop supplying the external time code, and set the TCG switch to R-RUN.

When switching the power from the battery to an external power supply while the time code is externally locked

In order to ensure the continuity of the time code generator’s power, connect the external power supply to the DC IN connector, and then remove the battery pack. If the battery pack is removed first, no guarantees can be made for the continuity of the external locking of the time code.

Gen-locking of the camera unit while the time code is externally locked

While the time code is externally locked, the camera unit is gen-locked by the reference video signal which is supplied to the GEN LOCK IN connector.

<Notes>

O

When the frame rate is set to 24 fps, this unit will perform the processing in the non-drop frame mode in order to maintain the continuity of the frames even when the time code has been set to the drop frame mode.

Furthermore, when the frame frequency has been set to 60.00 Hz as well, the unit performs the processing in the non-drop frame mode.

If an external time code generator is used, set it to the non-drop frame mode.

O

Use the same frame frequency setting for the reference time code and reference videos signal as the unit’s setting.

When the frame rate is used at 24 fps, the image may be disturbed if the frame frequencies differ.

This unit automatically stores as the tape management information both the frame rate information which indicates the shooting speed and the active frame information which indicates the first frame where the frame image was switched in the user bits of the sub-code track area (this used to be the LTC area). This information is output from the TC OUT connector, HD SDI MON connector and HD SDI EE connector. Further, the active frame information is stored in the least significant digit of the user bits while the frame rate information is stored in its lower third and fourth digits.

Recording

(continued)

Scene-to-scene continuity

If the unit is in the rec-pause mode, it is possible to ensure scene-to-scene continuity with an accuracy of

0 up to 1 frame just by pressing the VTR START button or lens VTR button.

If the unit is in a mode other than rec-pause, the point at which the scene-to-scene continuity is to be maintained must be located before recording is started.

During rec-pause

The scene-to-scene continuity timing is located automatically. However, the time taken until the start of recording differs depending on the setting of the

VTR SAVE/STBY switch.

O

When the VTR SAVE/STBY switch is set to SAVE, recording commences about two seconds after the

VTR START button is pressed.

O

When the VTR SAVE/STBY switch is set to STBY, recording commences as soon as the VTR START button is pressed.

Ensuring scene-to-scene continuity after the power was turned off while the unit was in the rec-pause mode

1

Switch the power back on.

2

Press the VTR START button or lens VTR button to start the recording.

Ensuring scene-to-scene continuity at other times (cue up function)

Proceed as follows either after the tape has been allowed to run or after the cassette has been ejected or when ensuring continuity on a tape which has been recorded only in part.

1

Set the VTR SAVE/STBY switch to the STBY position.

2

While monitoring the viewfinder screen, press the

PLAY/PAUSE button to play back the tape.

3

At the place on the tape where continuity is to be maintained, press the PLAY/PAUSE (or STOP) button again to stop the tape.

4

Press the lens RET button.

No playback images are shown, but two or so seconds later preparations are made for shooting with scene-to-scene continuity.

To check whether the tape has been cued up to the place where shooting with scene-to-scene continuity is to start, press the RET button again.

5

Press the VTR START button or lens VTR button to start the recording.

Playback

(checking what has been recorded)

When the PLAY/PAUSE button is pressed, the playback pictures can be monitored on the viewfinder screen.

These playback pictures can be monitored in two other ways.

Rec review

When recording is temporarily stopped and the lens

RET button is pressed, the last two seconds of the tape are automatically rewound, and the playback pictures on this part of the tape appear on the viewfinder screen. This makes it possible to check whether recording was performed properly.

After the two seconds of the tape have been played back, the unit is again set to the recording start standby mode.

If the RET button is held down, a maximum of 10 seconds of the tape is rewound and played back.

<Note>

The rec review function cannot be used unless recording lasts for one or more seconds.

Color playback

When an HD color monitor is connected to the unit’s

HD SDI MON connector, color playback pictures can be monitored.

The playback signals will be output to the viewfinder even during rewinding (REW) or fast forwarding (FF).

Selecting the audio output of the playback signal and adjusting the volume are accomplished using the

MONITOR switch control (page 12).

The functions of the RET button on the lens can be assigned to the USER1 or USER2 button on the unit’s side panel on the CAM SW MODE screen of

FILM (CAM) MAIN MENU 2, and this button can then be used to perform the return operations.

Lens RET button functions

Depending on the internal VTR status, the RET button functions which appear on the viewfinder screen change as follows.

The functions of the RET button on the lens can be assigned to the USER1 or USER2 button on the unit’s side panel on the CAM SW MODE screen of

FILM (CAM) MAIN MENU 2, and this button can then be used to perform the return operations.

Other VTR functions

NEWS REC function

The NEWS REC function is set using NEWS REC

MODE on the VTR MENU “FUNCTION” screen.

By controlling the VTR START button acknowledgment time during recording (by up to 2 seconds), the time taken for the unit to transfer from the recording mode to the rec-pause mode can be delayed.

In other words, by controlling the VTR START button operation acknowledgment time, the unit can continuously record without the user having to interrupt the recording: this safeguards against the failure to record those precious moments—a failure that occurs when recording is resumed immediately after it was shut down temporarily.

RETAKE function

The RETAKE function is activated by selecting ON for

RETAKE MODE on the VTR MENU “FUNCTION” screen.

If the lens RET button is pressed while holding down the MODE CHECK button when the unit is in the recpause mode upon completion of a recording or subsequently in the STOP mode, the tape will be rewound to a point near the start point (a position about 10 frames ahead of the recording start point) of the final picture which was last recorded, and the unit will be set to the rec-pause mode.

If there is enough leeway in the shooting time and a particular cut is clearly judged to be no good, recording can be started from that point so that the no-good cut will be deleted.

By cutting down on the time taken for copying onto the work tape, for instance, this function is very effective in achieving economical operation.

RET button

INTERVAL REC (intermittent recording) function

This function makes simple interval shooting

(intermittent recording) possible. It proves to be particularly effective when shooting programs with a nature theme or art programs.

The INTERVAL REC function is set on the VTR

MENU “FUNCTION” screen.

O

INTERVAL REC MODE

This sets the INTERVAL REC function to ON, ONE

SHOT or OFF.

O

INTERVAL REC TIME

This sets the recording time (1 cut) for interval shooting.

O

INTERVAL PAUSE TIME

This sets the rec-pause time for interval shooting.

Once the above items are set, the unit is set to the

INTERVAL REC mode, and “i” starts to flash inside the viewfinder.

When the VTR START button is now pressed, interval shooting is started, and “iREC” lights in place of “i.”

Also, the time unit (h/min/s/frm) display on the counter display area starts to flash.

When the unit is set to rec-pause mode upon completion of the first interval shooting, “iREC” goes from lighted to flashing inside the viewfinder.

The time unit display on the counter display area remains flashing.

To forcibly stop recording at any point in time during interval recording, press the STOP button repeatedly.

<Note>

Smooth images can be recorded if the frame rate is set to 6P when interval recording is performed by setting the

INTERVAL REC TIME to “00s10f”.

The timing of the images and the timing of the sound are fixed while recording is in progress. This means that these two timings may not be in synchronization when the frame rate is switched during recoding even when ON has been selected as the A/V

SYNCHRO item setting.

O

If ON has been set for A/V SYNCHRO, the video and audio timing will be automatically adjusted in four steps to match the frame rate.

This unit automatically stores as the tape management information both the frame rate information which indicates the shooting speed and the active frame information which indicates the first frame where the frame image was switched in the user bits of the sub-code track area

(this used to be the LTC area). This information is output from the TC OUT connector, HD SDI MON connector and HD SDI EE connector.

Further, the active frame information is stored in the least significant digit of the user bits while the frame rate information is stored in its lower third and fourth digits.

<Notes>

O

When “DATE,” “TCG” or “USER” has been selected as the UB MODE item setting on the TC/UB screen, the tape management information is output from the least significant digit to the lower fourth digit of the user bits, so no other user bits information will be output.

Maintenance

Condensation

The water vapor in the air may form as tiny droplets on the head drum when the unit is moved from a cold location to a warm location or used in a very humid place. This phenomenon is known as condensation, and running the tape under these conditions is liable to cause the tape to stick to the drum.

Note the following points:

O

Remove the tape when the unit’s operation is to be started in conditions where condensation may form.

O

Before loading the tape, set the power switch to

ON, and check that the HUMID display is not lighted in the display window.

<Note>

For safety reasons, the HUMID display will flash and the drum will rotate for 80 minutes after condensation detection is released.

During this time, the operation buttons cannot be operated.

Check that the HUMID display is not lighted.

Head cleaning

Use the AJ-CL12LP cleaning cassette if the heads need to be cleaned. Take care to read the instructions accompanying the cleaning tape since the video heads may be damaged if the tape is not used in the correct way.

Cleaning inside the viewfinder

O

Do not use thinners or any other solvent to remove dirt.

O

Use a lens cleaner available on the market to wipe the lens.

O

NEVER wipe the mirror.

If dirt or dust has found its way onto the mirror, remove it using an air blower available on the market.

Phenomena inherent to CCD cameras

Smear

This phenomenon may occur when very bright subjects are shot.

The faster the electronic shutter speed, the more noticeable it becomes since the image darkens.

White blemish

This phenomenon is caused by small white spots when dark places are shot. The lower the frame rate or the higher the gain, the more noticeable it becomes. (See page 65)

Replacing the backup battery

The backup battery is already installed when the unit is shipped.

When it has discharged, the “BACK UP BATT

EMPTY” display appears for 3 seconds on the viewfinder screen when the POWER switch is set to

ON.

Moreover, the time code value of the TCG will be set to “00:00:00:00” and the backup of the time code value will no longer be possible: this means that the backup battery should be replaced.

Consult with your dealer, and replace the spent battery with a new battery (CR2032 or BR2032).
