P2 Memory Card Recorder: Lower Operating Costs, Better for the Environment

P2 Reduces Total Cost of Ownership

The P2 Card Helps Preserve the Environment:

Repeated Reusability and Low Power Consumption

(1) Faster, easier editing because digitization is not necessary

(2) Lower media costs because memory cards

are reusable

(3) Lower maintenance costs because there is

no moving mechanism

Allowing repeated file copying and initialization,

a single P2 card can be used and re-used,

again and again. When combined with an

IT-based workflow that requires no dubbing,

P2 cards can greatly reduce storage media

expenses. And because a memory card

recorder has no moving mechanism, it uses less

power. For example, the AG-HPX370 series

uses about 51% less power than the tape-

based AJ-HDX900 camcorder.

Reuse

Initialization

By reducing editing, media and maintenance

costs, P2 can help improve your bottom line.

Users can also take advantage of a special five-

year free-repair service program that Panasonic

offers for P2 HD equipment.

Dynamic Range Stretch (DRS)

In scenes with mixed contrast, such as when panning from indoors to

outdoors, the DRS function automatically suppresses blocked shadows

and blown highlights. A gamma curve and knee slope are estimated to

match the contrast of each pixel, and applied in real time. When dark,

bright, and intermediate shades are all contained in the same scene, this

produces excellent gradation for each shade and minimizes blocked

shadows and blown highlights. The images that result are enhanced by a

visually wide dynamic range.

3-Position Gain Selector / 24dB Gain-Up Function

There is a 3-position gain selector, with L, M and H settings. To each

setting you can assign a gain value from −3 dB to 12 dB, in 3 dB steps.

There is also a USER button –- just give it a quick touch to instantly boost

the gain by 24 dB.

settings as desired. You can also store and load the settings to and from

an SD card.

Flash Band Compensation

In contrast with the CCD image sensor, which accumulates still images of

single frames that are exposed with identical timing, the MOS image

sensor uses a rolling shutter system that sequentially scans each line of

pixels. This lowers power consumption and enables high-speed drive, but

because the exposure timing differs for each line, when an external flash

is used, it tends to produce images where the brightness is divided

between the top and bottom of the image. This is called the flash band

effect. The AG-HPX370 series is equipped with highly accurate flash

band detection and compensation software* on the camera’s signal

processing LSI. By generating pairs of frames containing flash bands, and

frames in which a flash extends from the previous frame to the entire

screen, and then using the compensation process to adjust the level, the

flash band effect of MOS-based imagers is eliminated.

The shutter speed can be set between 1/6.25 second on the slow end in

50Hz mode (1/6 second in 59.94Hz mode) and 1/2000 second on the

fast end. Used with the variable frame rate function, this allows you to

create a blurring effect or crystal-clear stop-motion of sports action. The

AG-HPX370 series also features a synchro scan function for capturing

screen shots from a computer monitor.

Cine-like Functions

The gamma, variable frame rate and other advanced functions let you capture images with a

cinema-like feel, expanding your creative and expressive possibilities.

• Normal cinematic shooting (at 24 fps, 25

fps or 30 fps) refers to the same rate as used in

film cameras. The AG-HPX370 series can record

in 1080/24p (over 60i) or 480/24p (over 60i) mode, as

well as 720/24p mode. 25 fps or 30 fps is the standard frame rates

used in the production of TV commercials, music clips and video

software. The AG-HPX370 series can also record in 1080/25p (over 50i),

1080/30p (over 60i), 576/25p (over 50i) or 480/30p (over 60i) mode, as

well as 720/25p and 720/30p mode.

7-Mode Gamma for Richer Gradation

Drawing on technologies developed for the VariCam, Panasonic has

equipped the AG-HPX370 series with advanced gamma functions that

address seven different shooting scenarios and enhance your creative

abilities. This includes the Cine-Like Gamma, which produces the

characteristic tone of film recordings.

• Higher-speed shooting (at over 25 fps*) produces slow-motion effects.

This is especially effective for high-action scenes like car chases or

crashes, or to create a dramatic impact in a scene.

*When the standard speed is 24 fps in 59.94 Hz mode. For a standard speed of 25 fps in 50Hz

mode, anything over 26 fps will be overcranked.

HD NORM Mode

CINE-LIKE D Mode

• Lower-speed shooting (at under 22 fps*) lets you attain a fast-motion

effect. This technique can be combined with a warp-speed effect to give

special emphasis to flowing water, fast-moving clouds, etc.

*When the standard speed is 24 fps in 59.94 Hz mode. For a standard speed of 25 fps in 50 Hz

mode, anything under 24 fps will be undercranked.

20-Step Variable Frame Rate

Like the VariCam, the AG-HPX370 series allows undercranking and

overcranking common in film cameras, to create fast-motion and slow-

motion effects. In 720p mode,* the frame rate can be set to any of

20 steps.

*In 1080 and 480 modes, the frame rate can be set only to 25p, 24p or 30p.

• 720p Native Mode

In Native mode, the AG-HPX370 series records images at the frame rate

set in the camera. For example in 24 pN mode, it only records 24 frames

instead of the normal 60 frames*. Using the AG-HPX370 series to play

back the recording at the normal rate, you can preview the speed effect

right on the spot, without using a frame rate converter. Native mode also

extends the recording time of a P2 card.

• 720p over 50p/60p Mode

This is a mode for recording 50p-converted or 60p-converted video.

For example, in 24p mode, it records 60 frames by applying a 2:3

pulldown. The recording time is the same as in 1080i or 720p mode, but

the unit can output a DVCPRO HD stream from the IEEE 1394 connector

as it records.*

This lets you produce a backup copy using a connected external

P2 recorder such as AJ-HPM200 or AG-HPG20, DVCPRO HD recorder.

*Only when the recording format is DVCPRO HD. There is no output when the AVC-Intra codec

is used.

*24p = 23.98p, 30p = 29.97p, 60p = 59.94p and 60i = 59.94i

1080/480 24p Advance Mode (in 59.94Hz mode)

The 1080 and 480 progressive recording systems convert

recordings to 60i in 24p, 30p, or 24pA (Advance) mode. The 24p

Advance mode uses 2:3:3:2 pulldown, which allows for an easy

extraction to a 24p timeline and no quality loss in the process with

compatible NLEs.*

An AVC-Intra codec board is

included as standard equipment.

High-Image-Quality AVC-Intra 100 Mode

With the same bit rate as DVCPRO HD, this mode supports full 10 bit

recordings with 1920 x 1080 pixels. It enables the AG-HPX370 series to

capture master-quality video for high-end video production.

It allows recording in either of two

modes: AVC-Intra 100 for full-pixel

HD (1920 x 1080 and 1280 x 720)

Low-Bit-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 50's lower bit rate doubles the recording

time per P2 card over DVCPRO HD and lowers storage requirements for

editing.

Sample Images of Intraframe Preduction

Left: Original image Center: Intra-frame predictive image Right: Difference image obtained from

subtracting the intra-frame predictive image from the original image. This shows the high accuracy of

intra prediction.

Intra-Frame (I-Frame Only) Compression Superiority

Twice the Compression Efficiency of MPEG-2

Motion-image compression can be divided roughly into two methods: I-Frame

Only compression, which completes all processing within each frame, and

Long GOP compression, which processes across multiple frames. AVC-Intra

and DVCPRO HD use I-Frame Only compression, while HDV uses Long GOP

compression.

By selecting the most effective compression techniques from among those in

compliance with the H.264 standard, AVC-Intra has doubled the compression

ratio of MPEG-2, even with I-Frame Only compression. Its intraframe

predictive and context-adaptive entropy coding are particularly effective

methods for boosting compression efficiency.

The MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 standard encompasses both methods.

Intraframe predictive coding (intra prediction)

When the images of adjacent frames are similar, Long GOP compression

achieves an advantageously low bit rate. However, this trait is not often seen

in broadcasts like flash-filled press conferences, fast-action sports, and video

with rapid move and electronic displays. Also, because processing is

performed frame-by-frame in I-Frame Only, new-generation multi-core CPUs

offer high-speed parallel processing. This makes I-Frame Only compression

more suitable for nonlinear editing than Long GOP, for which parallel

processing is difficult due to its inter-frame dependence. With its I-Frame Only

compression, AVC-Intra produces remarkably stable images that are

unaffected by adjacent frames, and meets professional needs in virtually all

situations and workflows.

This process generates predictive images based on adjacent blocks of 8 x 8

pixels. Selecting the most suitable predictive mode from among nine

luminance signal modes (see illustration) and four color signal modes, it

generates accurate predictive images. The residual data (obtained by

subtracting a predictive image from the original input image) is recorded

together with the predictive image. 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.

Context-adaptive entropy coding

The entropy coding process used in MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 utilizes CAVLC

(Context Adaptive VLC) and CABAC (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.

Immediate Startup and Better Data Protection

When you press the Record button in standby mode, the AG-HPX370

series instantly finds a blank area on the P2 card and begins recording. It

can begin recording immediately even when you’re using it to preview

video. In normal use, there is no chance of accidentally overwriting a

recording. Recordings will not be erased unless you intentionally delete a

file or initialize the card.

Clip Thumbnail Function

The P2 HD camcorder automatically generates a thumbnail image for

each clip. You can view thumbnails on the built-in color LCD monitor.

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 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.

• 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.

* 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.

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.

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.

Direct Upload to a PC*¹or 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

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.

transfers data at a high speed up to 1.2

Gbps*²giving 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.

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.*

Operation

The new design improves mobility and operating ease while supporting a variety of assist functions.

New Design for an enhanced Level of Mobility

The AG-HPX370 series innovative new form brings greater mobility,

comfort and operating ease to the familiar shoulder-held shooting style.

The body is small and weighs just 3.6 kg (7.9 lbs) with viewfinder. A

large shoulder pad and low center of gravity combine to ensure

outstanding stability on the shoulder. The low-profile design also

provides an unobstructed view to the camera operator’s right.

Controls and Card Slots Grouped on One Side

Three User Buttons

All operation switches and volume controls are set on the left side of the

camera. P2 card slots, which were set on the right side in previous

models, have also been moved to the left side. Their logical horizontal

arrangement makes it easy to insert and remove cards quickly.

The AG-HPX370 series allows 16 functions (listed below) to be assigned

to the User buttons. The three buttons are arranged in a group for easy

use. Assigned functions can be accessed at the touch of a button.

Assignable Functions

REC REVIEW: Rec review function

Low Power Consumption — Only 19 W

By developing a new energy-efficient DSP and integrating the AVC-Intra

codec circuitry with it, Panasonic significantly downsized the printed

circuit board. This not only makes the AG-HPX370 series smaller and

lighter, it also reduces power consumption. The new image sensor helps

lower power consumption too. Together, these innovations reduce power

use to only 19 W during recording. The lower battery consumption can

mean greater mobility in the field.
