AJ-HPX2000 integrates a camera unit equipped with three CCDs, incorporating a 2/3-inch on-chip lens featuring
progressive drive technology (All-pixel reading), and a video recorder/player (VTR) that supports DVCPRO HD,
DVCPRO50, DVCPRO and DV formats.
AJ-HPX2000 offers choices of 1080i/720P mode for HD and NTSC/PAL mode for SD. It also provides features such as
storage-type gain enhancement for news reports and film-like gammas for production purposes, providing many
applications ranging from news reports to production.
Utilising P2 cards, which require no mechanism, as media, your unit offers greater responsibility, operability, and
portability. It is highly resistant to shock and vibration during recording, and therefore ensures stable operation for
capturing quality video images under the most adverse conditions.
_Supports the new AVC-Intra codec (optional)
Installation of the AVC-Intra codec board (AJ-YBX200G)
provides support for the new AVC-Intra codec. By
employing the Intra-Frame compression method based
on H.264 standards, the latest motion picture
compression technology, a high compression rate, high
image quality, and high editing accuracy have been
achieved.
_24P, 30P, 25P Recording and Native Recording
The unit is capable of recording at frame rates of 24P
(23.98P)/30P (29.97P) at 59.94 Hz and 25P at 50 Hz
using the progressive drive of the CCD.
There are two methods: one method (Native
2
recording)* records images at the unchanged frame

14-bit A/D converter with sampling frequencies of 74
MHz. It is possible to reproduce images that are more
finely detailed.
_DRS (Dynamic Range Stretcher) function
The dynamic range can be streched by compressing the
video signal level of a part with high brightness where
shooting. (Refer to page 51)
_
Storage type high-sensitivity function (DS. GAIN)
_Film-like Gamma function
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.
The unit employs three types of film-like gamma to
(AJ-HDC27 series), so that a wide range of image
impressions can be reproduced for production. (Refer to
page 167)
_Lens file function
The unit has 8 lens files.
_Digital Zoom
By using an SD memory card, 64 lens files can be
stored. (Refer to page 92)

During continuous playback of clips in different
recording formats, seamless playback is not available.
z Display of clip information
z PRE-RECORDING function
By selecting clips, information added to clips, such
as the recording time, Text Memo, Shot Marks and
metadata can be checked.
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 PRE-
RECORDING 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.
_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.
z Proxy recording (when AJ-YAX800G attached)
By installing the optional video encoder card (AJ-
YAX800G), MPEG4 format video and real-time
metadata such as time code data can be recorded
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)
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
you are shooting without a sound recordist. The control
can be disabled.
_Support for Built-in Unislot Wireless Receive
AJ-HPX2000 is designed to support an optional slot-in
wireless receiver.

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.
_Support for Metadata
AJ-HPX2000 is capable of recording positional
UMID information (metadata), from the GPS unit AJ-
GPS910G (optional accessory). Names/titles can also
be recorded, e.g. the camera person, the reporter, or the

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 AVC-
Intra (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.
Device:\
CONTENTS
AUDIO
CLIP
ICON
PROXY
VIDEO
VOICE
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.
LASTCLIP.TXT*
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
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.

Normal Recording and Native Recording
In the unit, the camera’s recording method is selectable
between the Native recording method with the frame rate
Native recoding
unchanged and the normal recording method pulling the
frame rate down to 59.94 or 50 frames.
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.
Normal recording (Pull-down recording)
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.
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

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.
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).
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.
‹Notes
z When executing interval recording, data cannot be output
with IEEE1394. When the 1394 CONTROL is set to
[BOTH], it is also impossible to control external devices.
z The shortest recording time, stand-by time, and the set
value of the cut-off unit frame number*1 may vary with
the recording method as follows.

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
CTL counter
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.
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.
Rec run:
The time code is recorded as sequential
values regenerated as the time code for a clip
recorded on a P2 card.
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.
User bits
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.

Clock accuracy fluctuates between about 30 seconds per
month when the power is turned off. If more accurate
timekeeping is required, check the time when the power is
turned on and, if necessary, reset the clock.
When the GPS unit AJ-GPS910G is installed, and if it
successfully receives time information, the internal clock
keeps accurate (local) time based on the received time
(Greenwich Mean Time) and the time zone. If the date and
time differ from the actual local time, the time zone may not
be set correctly. Check again, to see if the time zone is set
correctly. (The date and time need not be set again.)
The built-in clock operates for several years on a lithium
battery built into the camera-recorder. When the lithium
battery is exhausted, the viewfinder indicates the message
“BACKUP BATT EMPTY” when the power is turned on. For
more information, see [Maintenance] (page 140).

Regeneration function using REC REVIEW
If the menu option FIRST REC TC is set to PRESET, if the
time code has been set or reset, or if the time code has
been switched from free run to Rec run, it is possible to
regenerate the time code as the last time code of a clip
recorded on the P2 card.
This action requires you to preset the RET SW menu
option on the SW MODE screen to R. REVIEW and the
REC REVIEW REGEN menu option on the TC/UB screen
to ON.
Set the menu option TC MODE to “DF” or “NDF”. “DF”
steps the time code in drop frame mode, and “NDF”
steps it in non-drop frame mode. However, the
camera always operates in “NDF” for 24P, 24PA and
24PN (Native) modes.
The menu option TC MODE can be found in the <TC/

‹Notes
z When a card with recorded data is changed, the
time code of the last recorded clip on the changed
P2 card will be regenerated.
‹Notes
z This function is disabled during recording or free-
run.
z When the unit is in the 24P or 24PA mode, time
code settings are adjusted to the five-frame unit.
For 24PN (Native) mode, it is adjusted for counting
by the four-frame unit. For 30PN UN (Native) of
720P, it is adjusted to even numbers. In the 25PN
(Native) mode of 720P, [Sec + Frame] is adjusted to
even numbers. The time code cannot be set when

Time code function during battery replacement
Even during battery replacement, the backup mechanism
functions, allowing the camera-recorder to operate
continuously.
If SYSTEM MODE is changed, a free-run time code may
shift. After turning on the power again, confirm the time
code and reset if necessary.
z When the TCG switch is positioned at [SET],
thumbnails cannot be manipulated.
Regeneration of Time Code
‹Note
When the POWER switch has been switched ON # OFF
# ON, the backup accuracy of the time code in free run
mode is about 2 frames.
When the TGC switch is positioned to R-RUN, the time
code recorded on the last frame of the last recorded clip
(with the latest recording date) on the P2 card is read, and
this time code can be used again.
When the menu option FIRST REC TC is set to REGEN
and a P2 card is removed or inserted or the target
recording card is changed with the USER button for the
SLOT SEL function, the same time code is added to the
last recorded clip on the target P2 card. When there is no
recorded clip, the time code is recorded on the new

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.

To externally lock the time code
Follow the steps below.
Setting the user bits when the time code is
externally locked
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.
1
2
3
4
Turn on the POWER switch.
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.
To unlock the externally locked time code
Discontinue external time code supply, then position the
TCG switch at [R-RUN].
5
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.
Cautions in switching the power source from
battery to external power supply
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.
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
External synchronisation of the camera when the
time code is externally locked
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.
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].
The menu option REC SIGNAL is found in the SYSTEM
MODE screen on the SYSTEM SETTING page.
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-drop-
frame.
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.
The playback order of clips is altered when either of the
following occurs:
z Clips are deleted, copied or restored, or the P2 card is
formatted.
z The thumbnail display is switched (for more information,
see [Switching the Thumbnail Display] (page 113)).
z A P2 card is inserted or removed.
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.
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

Š The scene-to-scene continuity recording from an
arbitrary position on the clip is not possible.
Recording will always continue immediately after the
latest clip.
Š Software must be used under the condition where
the camera-recorder thumbnail screen is closed.
The application software may not be able to apply
control when the thumbnail screen is open.
z During special playback, video and audio signals which
have not been processed as the output signals of the
IEEE1394 interface will be output. When these video
and audio signals are monitored on another device, they
may be at variance from the video and audio signals
which are played back by camera-recorder.
z In the case when the output format is either DV or
DVCPRO (25M), the audio channel signal selected from
the 1394 AUDIO OUT option of the setup menu will be
output from the IEEE1394 interface.

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.
