and audio on memory cards (such as the AJ-P2C002SG
which is sold separately; henceforth referred to as “P2
cards”) in the DVCPRO50, DVCPRO, and DV
compression formats. Video and audio data is recorded
on the cards in the form of MXF file (SMPTE390M) and
clip meta data in XML.
Multifunctional interface
•Analog video input/output
Both composite and component signal inputs/outputs
are provided.
•AES/EBU audio input/output
Digital audio input and output connectors are provided.

YA755G) to enable interfacing of the serial digital
component signals.
5 PC card slots
•IEEE1394 digital input/output
The unit comes with five PC card slots into which you can
insert PC card type II cards. You can record and play
audio and video material on the P2 cards you have

YAD850G) to enable input/output interfacing of
IEEE1394 digital signals.
•RS232C remote
A RS232C remote connector is provided.
•USB 2.0
By connecting a personal computer with USB 2.0, you
can use the P2 cards in the memory card recorder as
mass storage. You will need to install the USB driver
onto your computer.
Video monitor
The 3.5-inch color LCD monitor allows to find and play
video, using such features as the thumbnail screen.
Play list feature
Use the IN/OUT and ENTRY buttons on the front panel to
create and play play lists. Just choose the parts you want
recorded on any of the five P2 cards in the memory card
recorder, and put them in the order you want them to
play. You can then record these play lists to an SD
memory card.
•LAN

/10BASE-T.
4-channel, high-sound-quality digital audio
The 4-channel PCM audio enables independent
recording for all four channels in addition to channel
mixing.
Dial jog/Dial shuttle
The jog makes it possible to play in slow motion at rates
between –1.0 and +1.0. The shuttle allows high speed
play in either direction at up to 100 times normal speed.
At speeds up to 10 x, the sound is also audible.
Menu-based setup

memory card recorder’s display (vacuum fluorescent
display), the 3.5-inch LCD, or a TV monitor connected
through an OUT 3 connector.
Time codes/player function for editing
The memory card recorder has a built-in time code
generator (TCG) and time code reader (TCR).
In addition to the internal time code, external time code
input or input signal VITC can be recorded on the
memory card recorder as the time code. The memory
card recorder can also be used as a player for an editing
system with RS-422A.

Inserting P2 cards
Removing P2 cards
Note:
Do not remove a P2 card while it is being accessed or while
it is being recognized after it has been inserted (while its
corresponding access LED is flashing orange).
Before using the unit for the first time, be absolutely sure
to set the internal clock using setup menu item No.069
(CLOCK SET).
(1) Press the STOP button.
If the access LED corresponding to the P2 card you
want to remove is flashing orange, press the STOP
button to make it stop flashing. If the LED does not stop
flashing, hold the STOP button down for over a second.
(1) Turn the POWER switch of the memory card
recorder on

P2 card access LED
Notes:
• When a P2 card is removed while the thumbnail
screen is displayed, the thumbnail screen is
automatically exited.
•When the P2 card is inserted into the memory card
recorder, its status is indicated by the corresponding
P2 card access LED. For details on these statuses,
refer to “P2 card access LEDs and P2 card status.”
•When the REC button and PLAY button are pressed
together in the stop mode, recording starts on the P2
card corresponding to the access LED which has
lighted up orange.
• Do not remove a P2 card while it is being
accessed or while it is being recognized after it
has been inserted (while its corresponding
access LED is flashing orange). If a P2 card has
been removed while it was being accessed, the
“TURN POWER OFF” display will appear on the
LCD monitor, and the “AUTO OFF” warning will
appear on the display panel. Also, all the P2
card access LEDs will flash rapidly in orange.
Turn off the power, and then turn it back on.
• The data contained on a P2 card which has
been removed while it was being accessed will
not be destroyed, but the clips may become
irregular. Check the clips first, and then fix them
if necessary. (See page 27)
Notes:
• Even when a second P2 card is inserted into
another slot while the data of one card is
playing, its access LED will remain off and
the other P2 card will not be recognized. The
second card will be recognized after the play
of the first card has been completed.
• The P2 card access LED will flash and the
P2 card will be recognized when a P2 card is
inserted into another slot during recording.
Do not remove the P2 card while it is being
recognized.
• If a P2 card has been removed while it was
being formatted, no guarantees are made for its
formatting. Turn on the power, and format the
card again.

Audio V fade function
When the settings below are selected for audio processing
between clips or events (setup menu No.727: PB FADE) at

sections during playback.
The clips recorded over a multiple number of P2 cards and
the clips created by edit copying are shown in the figure

Rack mounting
The memory card recorder can be mounted into a 19-inch
standard rack using the optional rack-mounting adaptors
(AJ-MA75P).
(4) Attach the AJ-MA75P rack mount adapter
using the removed 4 screws
For the installation rails, it is recommended that the 18-inch
rail and bracket (model number CC3061-99-0400) by
Chassis Trak be used. (The complete slide rail and bracket
deck is not available from Panasonic.)
For further details, consult your dealer.
(1) Attach the inner members of the slide rails
Refer to the figure below for the locations where the
screws are to be attached.
Locations where the screws are secured on the right
(R) side of the inner members of the slide rails

EIAJ Standard rack
Inner member
Notes:
•The length of the screws used is subject to
restriction. (B, H: 10 mm, F: 6 mm)
•Attach the inner members at the same symmetrical
positions on the left (L) side.
•Fix the members in place using 3 screws on each
side (total: 6 screws).
•The letters “A” to “H” are not actually marked on
the side panels.
(2) Attach the outer member brackets to the rack
Check that the height is the same for the left and right
brackets.
Fasten it to the rack
with set screws.
(3) Remove the four screws at the front for
attaching the left and right side panels
Notes:
•Keep the temperature inside the rack from 41°F to
104°F (5°C to 40°C).
•Bolt the rack securely to the floor so that it will not
topple over when the memory card recorder is
drawn out.

Condensation
Condensation occurs due to the same principle involved
when droplets of water form on a window pane of a heated
room. It occurs when the deck or card is moved between
places where the temperature or humidity varies greatly or
when, for instance:
When moving the deck to locations such as these, leave it
standing for about 10 minutes rather than switching on the
power immediately.
•It is moved to a very humid place full of steam or a room
immediately after it has been heated up.
•It is suddenly moved from a cold location to a hot or humid
location.
Maintenance
Before starting any maintenance work, switch the power to
OFF and, holding the plug, unplug the cord from the socket.
Use a soft cloth to clean the outside of the deck.
For stubborn dirt or stains, wipe the deck with a cloth that
has been lightly dampened with well-diluted kitchen
detergent and wrung out thoroughly.
Note:
Do not use alcohol, benzene, thinners or any other
solvents as they may affect the color of external parts or
damage the deck’s coating.
After wiping off the dirt with the damp cloth, finish it off with
a dry cloth.
