Inheriting the basic design concept of our popular DVCPRO
Laptop Editors, the AJ-HPM100 combines HD/SD card recorder
capabilities with an editing control panel, 9-inch LCD monitor
and stereo speakers in a compact, rugged body. This portable
unit handles everything from recording and viewing to playlist
editing and broadcasting with on-the-go convenience.
In addition to IEEE 1394 and USB 2.0 interfaces for easy
connection to a PC, the AJ-HPM100 comes equipped with
broadcast interfaces for HD-SDI and HD component. The
versatile AJ-HPM100 excels at a variety of tasks and is perfect
from outdoors to the desktop and editing studio.

Fast, Cost-Effective P2 Card Recording
Compatible with 720p

The ultra-light P2 card holds 8 GB* (AJ-P2C008HG) of data and transfers
The AJ-HPM100 supports sources recorded in 720p native mode using the
AG-HVX200 P2 Handheld Camera-Recorder. It provides 60p pull-down
output from a 24p/30p native source, or 50p output from a 25p source.

it at speeds* up to 640 Mbps. The new AJ-HPM100 P2 mobile records AV
data as MXF files, which expedites and streamlines news gathering and
program production. Because the P2 card has no moving mechanisms, it
offers outstanding reliability and high resistance to impact, vibration and
temperature fluctuations. Reusable many times, the P2 card can reduce
operating costs and minimize environmental impact.
*1 Total card capacity includes space for data management such as system data, therefore, actual
usable area is less than capacity indicated on the card. *2 This data transfer speed is theoretical
value. An actual data transfer speed varies according to operating condition and devices.
New AVC-Intra Codec Option Supported
The P2HD Series will also support the new AVC-Intra codec by mounting
an optional board that will be available in June 2007. Based on the latest
H.264 motion image compression standard, the new codec will provide
intra-frame compression with a high compression rate for high image
quality and precise editing. To enable versatile HD production, the AVC-
Intra codec offers two modes: AVC-Intra 100 (1920/4:2:2/10 bits) for
high-end, full-bit HD quality, and AVC-Intra 50 (1440/4:2:0/10 bits) for
Six P2 card Slots
With its six card slots, the AJ-HPM100 holds six 8GB P2 cards for
recording up to 48 minutes of HD content. It will play a continuous,
extended clip recorded in sequence onto six P2 cards. Or, you can mount
five P2 cards shot by P2 cam, and output a playlist editing result to a
sixth P2 card.
lower bit-rate, storage efficient operation with high image quality.
*This requires a software upgrade for the recorder.
HD/SD Multi-Format Operations
The AJ-HPM100 P2 mobile can record and play back in both 1080i and
720p using the DVCPRO HD codec. Also equipped with a 59.94 Hz/50 Hz
selector, the AJ-HPM100 supports all HD broadcasting formats used
anywhere in the world. This multi-format unit also records and plays back
SD sources, supports both NTSC (480i) and PAL (576i) systems, and lets
you record and play back in DVCPRO50, DVCPRO or DV.
Up-/Down-/Cross-Conversion
The AJ-HPM100 can convert up or down between HD and SD or cross-
convert between 720p and 1080i during playback. Also featuring an
aspect conversion function, the versatile AJ-HPM100 can handle a wide
range of video formats.
Eight Channels of 16-bit Digital Audio
DVCPRO HD offers superb 16-bit linear PCM sound quality, with eight
embedded channels for recording in 5.1-channel surround sound.
The AJ-HPM100 P2 mobile uses HD-SDI for independent input/output and
editing of all eight channels.
CLIP O PERATIO N AN D PLAYLIST EDITIN G FUN CTIO N S
Clip Thumbnail Display on 9-Inch Monitor
Playlist Function Allows VTR-Like Nonlinear Editing
The AJ-HPM100's built-in 9-inch LCD monitor not only serves as a
playback monitor, it also displays clips in a thumbnail list. You can select a
clip and play it back immediately. Each thumbnail is indicated with a text
memo and a symbol that shows the presence or absence of a shot marker.
You also can set the AJ-HPM100 to display only clips you select in the
thumbnail list. You can select a thumbnail quickly and easily using the
crosshair cursor buttons or jog dial.
The P2 memory card makes an advanced playlist function possible. You
can mark up to 100 events using In and Out points and play the events in
any order. Thanks to the P2 card's unique high-speed random access
capabilities, you get seamless, continuous, on-the-spot playback with no
time lag or other disruptions between cuts (clips)**. Edit the recordings
and use the results in on-air broadcasts — a quick, easy solution for
breaking news reporting and similar “when it counts” tasks. You can save
a playlist as a file and later reuse it, or output a playlist playback result as
a separate clip. You can mark In and Out points, cue, review, trim and
perform other tasks in almost the same way as you would with a
conventional editing controller. The display of playlist and event properties
lets you handle production and correction tasks intuitively and accurately.
* No transition setting or effect is available. V fade between events can be set only for audio.
** The cuts (clips) should be the same format.
Clip Management
You can delete, copy or merge clips, or add a shot marker and text memo.
Details of each clip can be viewed in a properties window.
Jog/Shuttle Dial and Audio Fader
Audio Split/Audio Dubbing
Like a broadcast editor, the AJ-HPM100 is equipped with a jog & shuttle
dial. You can shuttle search at 100x normal speed in forward or reverse
and jog search within a range of -1x to +1x speed. Audio can be
monitored up to 10x speed. Equipped with large audio fader levers, the
AJ-HPM100 also can be used as an audio mixer.
The AJ-HPM100's audio split* feature makes it possible, using the playlist,
to move the audio In point forward or backward relative to the video In
point. Also, additional audio channels (one or two) can be recorded onto a
recorded clip. This lets you connect a microphone for Voice overs. The
input audio can be mixed with the playback sound.
* All channels are moved forward or backward at the same time. You cannot move a single
channel independently.
A VARIETY O F IN TERFACES. BUILT FO R MO BILITY.
USB 2.0 Host Function Allows Use of a Hard Drive
The AJ-HPM100 is equipped with a USB 2.0 interface for host/device. In
host mode, you can connect a hard disk drive and read and write P2 files.
In device mode, you can connect a PC (or nonlinear editor) and use the
AJ-HPM100 as a P2 card drive for direct transfer of P2 clips into nonlinear
editing software.
Rugged Casing
With its rugged casing and magnesium die-cast frame, the AJ-HPM100 is
tough enough for go-anywhere field broadcast use. The rear connector
section is protected by a cover. With the editing panel closed,
the AJ-HPM100 is the size of a large briefcase and comes equipped with a
metal handle for easy carrying. You can take it onboard an airplane as a
carry-on.
IEEE 1394 Digital Interface
An IEEE 1394 digital interface comes
standard on the AJ-HPM100.
AC/DC
The versatile AJ-HPM100 runs on either AC or 12V DC. Plug it in and you
have an outstanding desktop recorder, or take the AJ-HPM100 outside
and mount it in an OB van or carry it right into the field.
Connect a DVCPRO HD camera-
recorder/VTR or FOCUS FireStore, and
the AJ-HPM100 can input or output
a DVCPRO-compressed stream with
no image degradation. This lets you
extended the AJ-HPM100’s recording and backup capabilities.
HD-SDI Input/Output
With an HD-SDI interface that allows easy HD-SDI input/output and SD-
SDI output, the AJ-HPM100 is ideal for use in an HD broadcasting system.
Use the AJ-HPM100 for line recording, in-studio production, data
transmission and more. A switch on the front panel lets you select the
HD-SDI or IEEE 1394 interface for the input signal.
Analog Input/Output and RS-422A Remote In
Analog I/O: Composite In, HD Component Out/Composite Out (shared),
Composite Monitor OUT, Audio In/Out (4 channels), and Audio Monitor
Out (2 channels)
RS-422A Remote In: Lets you control the AJ-HPM100 via an external
controller for editing applications.
TC In/Out: The AJ-HPM100 has a built-in time code generator/reader.
SD Memory Card Slot
The AJ-HPM100 has an SD Memory Card slot. By using the P2 viewer
software, you can create a metadata upload file containing the names of
the camera operator and reporter, the shooting location and other text
information, and save it onto an SD Memory Card. The AJ-HPM100 can
then read the information as metadata.
Menu Setting and User File
Using the crosshair cursor buttons or jog dial, it's easy to select menu
items and make settings on the LCD monitor. A
user file containing up to five groups of settings
can be saved or loaded. You can
assign frequently used menu
items to the three PF keys,
then select them instantly
with the touch of a finger.
