Clip Thumbnail and Metadata Functions

The P2 cam records each recording as a clip (file) and automatically

attaches a thumbnail image and file information to it. To preview a

clip on the LCD monitor or to check clip data, simply choose the

clip you want from the list of thumbnails. It also supports metadata

input using a software keyboard.

Hot-Swap Recording and Other Versatile Functions

•Hot-swap recording: Thanks to the two card slots, you can

hot-swap P2 cards for continuous non-stop recording. With

multiple cards you can record for hours without interruption.

•Pre-rec: While in standby mode, you can continuously store, and

subsequently record, up to 3 seconds in HD (7 seconds in SD).

This will help to get your shot every time.

•Last clip delete: Only the most recently recorded clip is deleted

with this one-touch function, adding practical convenience to

everyday operation. It can be assigned as a User button function

if desired.

•Rec check: You can check the end of the most recently recorded

clip with one-touch ease.

Shot Marker and Text Memo

A shot mark, which allows convenient OK and NG marking, can be

added to each clip during or after recording. When a P2 card with

marked clips is inserted in a PC,* it's possible to have only the

marked clips displayed. The AG-HPX170 also has a text memo

function. When recording or previewing a clip, press the Text Memo

button at any of up to 100 locations and a blank text memo label is

registered.

*This function requires P2 viewer or P2CMS software for Windows PC or Mac computers, which

P2 users can download for free. Visit https://eww.pavc.panasonic.co.jp/pro-av/ and click "P2

Versatile Recording Modes Handle Various Situations

•Loop recording: Using two P2 cards and setting the AG-HPX170

for consecutive overwriting, you can repeatedly re-record during a

particular recurring time slot, always maintaining a recording of the

most recent period. Unlike video tape, P2 cards need no rewinding.

They minimize wasted time and allow seamless, continuous

recording. This makes them especially useful for unattended

monitoring.

•One-shot rec: Convenient for producing animation, this mode

records for a set time (from 1 frame to 1 second) each time you

press the Start button.

•Interval rec: Recording one frame at a time at set intervals (from

2 frames to 10 min), this mode is

useful for monitoring and special

ultra-undercranking effects.

•Time stamp: The date and time

can be stamped onto recorded

images. Commonly used for

evidential images.

4-Channel Uncompressed PCM Audio

You can record 4 channels of uncompressed, high-quality, 16-bit

digital audio. In addition to the built-in stereo microphone, the

AG-HPX170 is equipped with two XLR audio input terminals with

48-V phantom power for professional use. Both input 1 and input

2 can be switched between line and mic levels. A switch lets you

select built-in mic, input 1, or input 2 for the audio input of both

channel-1 and channel-2. Large dials make it easy to manually

adjust the levels.

SMPTE Time-Code Generator/Reader

The built-in SMPTE time-code generator/reader lets you select the

Drop Frame/Non-Drop Frame and Free Run/Rec Run modes, preset

and regenerate, User bits are also provided.
