image. You can also specify a number of clips for seamless playback* or

on-air broadcasting from fields. And if a shooting opportunity should

arise during playback, the P2 HD cam lets you start recording

immediately with no cueing required and no risk of accidentally

overwriting valuable data.

* Seamless playback is not possible between clips recorded in different formats.

New One-Clip Rec Mode

The One-Clip Rec mode is handy for recording a variety of events.

Whereas normal Rec mode produces a clip for each Rec start/stop cut,

One-Clip Rec mode records up to 99 consecutive cuts as a single clip,

which greatly improves the nonlinear editing work that follows. A text

memo is automatically attached when recording begins, making it easy

to find desired cuts within the clip.

Direct Upload to a PC*

or Nonlinear Editor

The AG-HPX370 series records the A/V

data for each recording as a file on the

P2 card, which eliminates the need for

digitizing. The files can be used

directly in a nonlinear editing system

or transferred over a network or simply

onto a Hard Disk Drive. The P2 card

transfers data at a high speed up to 1.2

Gbps*

giving you faster, easier operation. The P2 card is convenient too

— you can plug it directly into the card slot on certain laptops.

*1: PCs must be installed with the included P2 driver in order to mount P2 cards. For editing,

PCs must be installed with P2-compatible editing software available from various companies.

Read "Notes Regarding the Handling of P2 Files Using a PC" on the back page.

*2: 1.2Gbps is maximum transfer speed when using P2 card E series. Transfer speed is subject to

be changed depended on system configuration.

Advanced Recording Functions Employing Two Card Slots

In addition to continuous, double-card recording, the AG-HPX370 series

also enables some useful recording functions that are possible only with

memory cards.

• Card selection: The recording slot can be changed (sequential

switching). This lets you review, organize, edit and transmit just-

recorded content. Content can also be organized while shooting, by

switching cards for each scene category.

• Hot-swap rec: 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.

• Loop-rec*: The real benefit of loop recording can only be dramatized

when you don't know when the event is going to happen, you just

know that it will. By allocating the open space on the cards the

camera will continue to record over that area until the operator pushes

the stop button, thereby assuring that the recording has been made,

and the event captured.

• 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 you to get your shot every time.

• Interval rec*: This gives you automatic intermittent recording based on

a set interval and recording time.

• One-shot rec*: This frame-shot recording function is useful for

producing animations.

• Rec review: This lets you run a quick playback check of the 2 to 10

seconds that lead up to the end of the clip you have just recorded.

* These functions cannot be used for variable frame rate, native mode, and 1080/24p over

59.94i, 720/24p over 59.94p, 720/25p over 50p recording.

* Pre-rec is not possible in loop-rec, interval-rec, or one-shot rec mode.

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 AG-HPX370 series, you can create a new clip

with data copied between text memo labels. Text information can also be

written into each memo using the AG-HPX370 series 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.

*Text memo, shot mark can not be added in Loop-rec, Interval-rec, or One-shot rec mode.

SD/SDHC Card Slot

The AG-HPX370 series comes with an SD/SDHC card slot. You can

create a metadata upload file (produced with P2 Viewer software or the

Third Party software,) containing information such as clip name, the

name of the camera operator, the recording location, and text memos on

an SD/SDHC card, and load it as clip metadata. This information will be

very useful when it comes to editing the project and quickly finding the

right clip to place on the timeline. The SD card slot is also used to upload

scene files, user files and firmware updates.

Proxy Data Recording (Option)

When the AJ-YAX800G proxy video encoder is installed, the AG-HPX370

series can record MPEG-4 proxy (low-resolution) data onto a P2 card and

SD/SDHC card. This can be used for quick viewing of dailies with

timecode, and its low bit rate provides easy transmission over wired and

wireless networks.

*Proxy data cannot be recorded when recording with the variable frame rate in Native/Pull-down

mode, or when Loop-rec, interval-rec, or one-shot rec is used. Proxy data refers to MPEG-4

low-resolution AV data in file form for moving images and audio, with timecode, metadata, and

other management data included. The use of DCF Technologies is under license from Multi-

Format, Inc.

16:9/4:3 Aspect Ratio Conversion

The 16:9/4:3 Conversion mode can be used with SD-recorded images or

SD output down-converted from HD playback. You can select from three

modes: side crop, letterbox, and squeeze.

Compatibility with Nonlinear Editing Systems

In developing P2 products, Panasonic has been working in collaboration

with a number of strategic P2 Partners.

There are many nonlinear editing products in the market that already

support P2. P2 native editing makes it possible for you to maintain high-

quality video and a flexible editing workflow.*
