AJ-HPX3000
Memory Card Camera-Recorder
Native 1080p 4:2:2 10-bit Camcorder
Now capture at the same quality you master:
1920 x 1080 / 10-bit/4:2:2 Sampling
Panasonic has brought its most advanced video imaging technologies together to
create a camera-recorder that brings image quality and resolution to new heights.
The new AJ-HPX3000 takes its place at the top of the P2 HD Series, Panasonic's
solid-state line of professional broadcasting and video production equipment.
At the heart of the AJ-HPX3000 is a newly developed high-resolution 2.2-
megapixel CCD and an AVC-Intra codec recording system that employs the
industry's most advanced image compression technology. These combine to
make the AJ-HPX3000 the first integrated camera-recorder to offer high-image-
quality, high-resolution 1920 x 1080-pixel recording with full 10-bit/
4:2:2 sampling.
The AJ-HPX3000 also adds a host of leading image-enhancing functions. For
example, when used with a compatible zoom lens, the AJ-HPX3000 provides a
chromatic aberration compensation (CAC) function to capture images that closely
replicate those shot with a digital prime lens. There is also a dynamic range
stretcher (DRS) function that suppresses blocked shadows and blown highlights
while expanding the dynamic range.
The AJ-HPX3000 supports native 1080/23.98p (29.97p/25p) recording and is
equipped for movie production with the FilmRec gamma mode and scan reverse
function for film lenses. The AJ-HPX3000 can be used with conventional HD
systems or for SD video production, and enables either DVCPRO HD or
DVCPRO50 codec recording.
This integrated camera-recorder makes it possible to acquire the kind of high-
quality video that in the past required a standalone HD camera plus a large VTR
such as the HD-D5. That not only gives you a huge advantage in mobility, it also
gives you the freedom to create new, innovative shooting techniques. Even better,
the AJ-HPX3000 uses P2 solid-state memory, which provides outstanding
features common throughout the P2 HD Series, including superior reliability, long
record times, fast on-set workflow and compatibility with leading non-linear
editing systems. P2 HD equipment also can reduce both total costs and
production time.
The AJ-HPX3000 is the industryās first native 1080p one-piece camcorder that
delivers master quality video and features needed for shooting network television
programs to commercials to music videos, movies and documentaries.
The AJ-HPX3000's 2.2-megapixel HD CCD
captures full 1920 x 1080-pixel HD images.
The standard AVC-Intra codec board achieves
10-bit/4:2:2 HD recording with full sampling.

New 2.2-megapixel Progressive/Interlace CCD
For the AJ-HPX3000, Panasonic developed a high-density 2.2-megapixel
2/3-inch CCD that provides high-resolution full-pixel (1920 x 1080) HD
images. The AJ-HPX3000 provides a choice of progressive / interlace HD
video formats; supporting native 1080 23.98p / 25p/29.97p, as well as
1080 50i and 1080 59.94i. The camera offers a high F10 sensitivity at
2000 lux when operating in 1080i.
Six Gamma Modes Including VariCam Film-Rec
A new digital signal processing (DSP) circuit in the AJ-HPX3000 has six
selectable gamma modes. These include F-Rec gamma for movie
production, which is the same high-end function incorporated in the
Varicam. Select the mode (see the diagram above) to match the
application.
14-Bit Digital Processing
Chromatic Aberration Compensation (CAC)
This exclusive technology works between lens and camera, allowing for a
highly sophisticated algorithm to be deployed that automatically
compensates the registration error that is caused mainly by lens
chromatic aberration, and minimizes the neighboring blur. By using a
CAC-compatible zoom lens, the AJ-HPX3000 can obtain images similar
to those captured with a prime lens.
with 12-Axis Color Correction
In the AJ-HPX3000, we offer a 14-bit A/D conversion system along with
the new high-performance DSP circuit. The 12-axis color correction
matrix lets you make fine adjustments in specific color regions. Functions
such as skin detail let you further fine-tune the image.
Scene Files and Lens Files
ā¢ Scene Files: Store specific camera settings in built-in memory. Four
files with settings can be stored in the camera's memory. Files can also
be copied onto an SD/SDHC Memory Card, allowing storage of up to
eight files.
ā¢ Lens Files: Store settings for interchangeable lenses. Eight files can be
stored in the camera unit, and 64 (8 x 8) files can be saved on an
SD/SDHC Memory Card.
DRS (Dynamic Range Stretcher) Function
DRS recognizes the average brightness of highlight and shadow areas
and then automatically adjusts the aperture and uses knee control to
suppress blocking in the shadow areas. In scenes with mixed dark and
light areas, such as when moving from indoors to outdoors, DRS
automatically provides a wider dynamic range with minimal blown
highlights and blocked shadows.
Shooting Assist Functions
ā¢ Three User Buttons: Assign a function to each, and then you can
High-Sensitivity Digital Super Gain
The high-sensitivity F10 aperture and digital super gain (frame cumulative
mode) let the AJ-HPX3000 record with a high S/N ratio*1 and less of the
noise that commonly comes with higher gain. The gain and digital super
gain can be flexibly combined to achieve highly sensitive recording of up
to a +56 dB*2 gain increase and 0.064 lx minimum illumination, to suit
different shooting conditions.
select functions with pushbutton ease.
ā¢ Focus Assist: Facilitates focusing by displaying the frequency.
ā¢ Variable Color Temperature: Color temperature can be adjusted with
the jog dial after the white balance is set.
ā¢ Electronic Shutter with Half-Speed: The AJ-HPX3000 has a full
collection of shutter angle options like the VariCam. It also includes Six
fixed speeds of up to 1/2000sec, plus "half-speed" (180-degree) slow
and synchro-scan capability.
*1: Due to the use of image accumulation, the number of recorded frames per second
decreases. This results in a frame-by-frame playback effect.
*2: With super gain set at +36 dB and digital super gain (6P cumulative mode) at +20 dB.
ā¢ Two optical filters, ND and CC, have four positions each. The 3200K,
4300K, 5600K and 6300K positions of the CC filter help to express
deeper colors.
ā¢ A 3-point locking viewfinder mount allows precise adjustment.
ā¢ The Audio Rec level adjustment features a push lock function.
ā¢ The Audio Input level adjustment (front) can be switched ON/OFF and
allocated to desired channels.
Scan Reverse Function for Film Lens Use
The AJ-HPX3000 can use an ultra prime lens and even an anamorphic
lens adapter that creates a 2.35:1 aspect image for wide-screen
cinematic shooting without cropping the image. Its scan reverse function
cancels the image inversion that occurs when Angenieux's HD lens
adaptor is used.

When a zoom lens is used, chromatic aberration occurs near the perimeter of the R,
G and B channels (with CAC turned off). When the advanced CAC function is
utilized, after the CCD captures the image, the CAC function uses the DSP circuit to
perform digital compensation using a table prepared for selected lens**.
The beneficial effect is more prominent for higher-resolution imagesā.
As seen in the image at the left, the ordinary auto knee function results in blown
highlights outside the window or blocked shadows inside the room. The DRS
detects the average brightness of both light and dark areas, and prevents blown
highlights and blocked shadows to provide a broader dynamic range. This is
especially effective for film-like HD production.

Comes Equipped with AVC-Intra Codec
AVC-Intra Technology
When using AVC-Intra 100, the AJ-HPX3000 is the industryās first, one-
piece camcorder for master quality, full raster 1920 x 1080 4:2:2
recording. Even better, this model allows users the flexibility of the
AVC-Intra 50 codec for bandwidth efficient applications. AVC-Intra is a
new codec that further advances HD production. It complies with the
MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 international standard based on advanced image
compression technology, and offers both superb image quality and highly
efficient compression. It uses an intra-frame compression system to bring
important advantages to professional editing.
Intra-Frame (I-Only) Compression Superiority
Image compression technology can be divided into two basic approaches,
Intra (frame-bound) compression, in which all processing is completed
within the bounds of each field or frame, and Inter (Long GOP)
compression, in which the processing is applied across multiple frames.
AVC-Intra uses Intra frame technology. When the image content of
adjacent frames is similar, Long GOP compression achieves a low bit rate,
making it suitable for transmission and for applications where low bit rates
are desirable yet very little editing is required, e.g. consumer camcorders.
However, when image quality cannot be compromised, such as in movies,
commercials, fast-action sports, or any content with rapidly changing
lighting, Intra-frame compression provides the best video quality.
For stable and reliable recording regardless of subject type, an intra-frame
compression method that completes compression in each frame is more
suitable. If editing requires frame-by-frame trimming, an intra-frame
compression method enables stream editing* without degrading the
image. Because each AVC-Intra frame is composed of 10 slices*, a multi-
core CPUs processing approach can be used to perform high-speed
parallel processing, this makes AVC-Intra compression much better suited
to the era of multi-core CPUs than inter-frame compression, which poses
difficulties to parallel processing because of the dependence between
High-Image-Quality, AVC-Intra 100 Mode
With the same bit rate as DVCPRO HD - this mode supports full-HD
recording with 1920 x 1080 pixels. It enables the AJ-HPX3000 to capture
master-quality video and brings new opportunities to high-end video
production.
Low-Rate, AVC-Intra 50 Mode
This mode delivers video quality very similar to DVCPRO HD, yet is able
to do so at bit rates usually associated with standard definition,
(e.g. DVCPRO 50.) AVC-Intra 50ās lower bit rate doubles the recording
time per P2 card over DVCPRO HD and lower storage requirements
for editing.
frames.
* Editing of data in a compressed state.
Twice the Compression Efficiency of MPEG-2
HD Multi-Format Capability, Including Native 1080p
The AVC-Intra 100 and 50 codecs let you record in a choice of HD
video formats: 1080p 23.98/25/29.97, as well as 1080 50i / 59.94i.
These world-wide HD formats provide extra flexibility in all of you
production needs.
Using advanced compression techniques, AVC-Intra has doubled the
compression ratio of MPEG-2, even with I-Only compression. Its intra-
frame predictive and context-adaptive entropy coding are particularly
effective methods.
ā¢ Intra prediction: This process generates predictive pixels based on
adjacent pixels (see illustration). The residual data (obtained by subtracting
a predictive image from the original input image) is recorded together with
the predictive mode information. Because the prediction accuracy is high,
there's minimal residual data, and thus high compression is achieved. This
process is conducted within the frame, so prediction accuracy remains
high even with fast-motion images.
Selectable DVCPRO HD/DVCPRO 50 Recording
The AJ-HPX3000 supports the conventional DVCPRO HD codec and also
offers DVCPRO 50 capability for SD recording. This lets it flexibly adapt
to various applications and system environments.
48-kHz/16-Bit, 4-Channel Digital Audio
ā¢Context-adaptive entropy coding: The entropy coding process utilizes
CAVLC (Context Adaptive VLC) and CAVBAC (Context Adaptive Binary
Arithmetic Coding), both of which are context adaptive. MPEG-2 uses a
fixed table when performing the VLC coding, with the result that
compression efficiency is low with some types of images. In context-
adaptive coding, on the other hand, operation varies with different kinds of
images and high compression efficiency is maintained at all times.
The AJ-HPX3000 can record full 48-kHz/16-bit digital audio on all four
channels. You can freely select the audio source for each channel,
choosing from mic, line, wireless receiver, and others. A 5-pin XLR jack
with 2-channel compatibility is used for the front mic input. Using the
AJ-MC900G optional stereo microphone lets you record stereo with a
single mic.

The P2 card features an original
design to ensure higher durability
and reliability than ordinary
optical, disk, and solid-state
recording mediums.
ā¢ One-shot rec: This frame-shot recording function is useful for
producing animations.
P2 Cards Offer Outstanding Mobility and Reliability
The 16-GB*1 P2 card (AJ-P2C016RG) offers great flexibility and
interoperability with leading NLE systems and boasts a high data transfer
speed of 640 Mbps*2 max. This solid-state memory card is highly
resistant to shock and vibration, so it brings high reliability and mobility to
outdoor shooting. It lets the camera start recording immediately from
standby mode, and allows shooting to start within two seconds of turning
the power on. This speedy response shortens downtime when replacing
batteries, and greatly cuts down on battery power consumption by letting
you turn the power off during standby. P2 cards can even be exchanged
with the power off. Recorded data is automatically stored in blank card
areas with no cueing required. This eliminates the risk of accidentally
overwriting valuable data.
Clip Thumbnail Function
The P2 cam automatically generates a thumbnail image for each clip. You
can view thumbnails on the AJ-HPX3000's 3.5" color LCD monitor, or, by
connecting the cameraās Monitor Out to a separate display. Any of the
clips can be accessed instantly. Thumbnail images can be paused, fast-
forwarded, and reversed just like a tape, and unwanted cuts can be
deleted by selecting and deleting the corresponding thumbnail image.
You can also specify a number of clips for seamless playback* or on-air
broadcasting. And if a shooting opportunity should arise during playback,
the P2 cam lets you start recording immediately with no cueing required
and no risk of accidentally overwriting valuable data.
*1: Total card capacity includes space for data management such as system data, so the
actual usable area is less than the capacity indicated on the card.
*Seamless playback is not possible between clips recorded in different formats.
*2: This data transfer speed is a theoretical value. The actual data transfer speed varies
according to the operating condition and devices.
Text Memo (Bookmark) for Simple Editing
When recording or previewing a clip, press the Text Memo button at any
of up to 100 locations and a text memo label, similar to a bookmark, is
registered. Using only the P2 cam, you can create a new clip with data
copied between text memo labels. Text information can also be written
into each memo using the AJ-HPX3000 or a PC with P2 Viewer installed.
A shot mark, which allows convenient OK and NG marking, can also be
added to each clip during or after recording.
Recording Functions with Five P2 card Slots
With five ultra-reliable 16GB P2 cards installed, the HPX3000 can capture
up to 100 minutes of master quality 1080 24p content. It also provides
several entirely new recording functions that are possible only with
memory cards.
ā¢ Card selection: The recording slot can be changed (sequential
switching) even during recording. This lets you review, organize and
transmit just recorded content on an AJ-HPM100 P2 Mobile, or, off-load
content to a non-linear editing system for quick editing, without
interrupting the recording. the recording. Recorded content can also be
organized while shooting, by switching cards for each scene category.
ā¢ Hot-swap-rec: You can replace a full memory card with a blank one
while the P2 cam is recording onto a second card. Successively swapping
cards this way gives you virtually unlimited recording capability.
ā¢ Loop-rec: By loop recording onto a specified recording area, you can
continue to record over a fixed area.
SD/SDHC Memory Card Slot
The AJ-HPX3000 comes with an SD/SDHC Memory Card slot. You can
create a metadata upload file (produced with P2 Viewer) containing
information such as the name of the camera operator, the name of the
reporter, the recording location, and text memos on an SD/SDHC
Memory Card, and load it as clip metadata. The SD slot is also used to
upload scene files and firmware updates.
Proxy Data Recording (Option)
Install the AJ-YAX800G proxy video encoder,, and the AJ-HPX3000
records MPEG-4 proxy (low-resolution) data onto the P2 card and an
SD/SDHC Memory Card. This can be used for quick viewing of dailies
with timecode and itās low bit-rate provides easy transmission over wired
and wireless networks.
ā¢ Pre-rec: While in standby mode, you can continuously store, and
subsequently record, up to 8 seconds of video and audio. In effect, this
lets you record footage of events that occur even before you press the
rec start button, giving you a way to "go back" and capture moments you
otherwise would have missed.
