Comes Equipped with AVC-Intra Codec
An AVC-Intra codec board is included as standard equipment.
It allows recording in either of two modes: AVC-Intra 100, for
full-pixel HD (1920 x 1080 and 1280 x 720) images, or AVC-Intra 50
for low-bit-rate, low-cost operation. 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.
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 AJ-HPX3700
to capture master-quality video for high-end video production.
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.
HD Multi-Format Capability, Including Native 24p
The AVC-Intra 100 and 50 codecs let you record in a choice of HD
video formats: 1080 23.98p/24p/29.97p/25p, as well as 1080
50i/59.94i. These worldwide HD formats bring extra flexibility to all
of your production needs. The AJ-HPX2700 also supports 720p
recording for HD image production in a variety of formats, including
60p and 50p.
See the Input/Output Video Format table on page 6 for details.
Selectable DVCPRO HD Recording
The P2 VariCam Series also supports the conventional DVCPRO HD
codec. This lets it flexibly adapt to various applications and system
environments, and makes for a smooth transition from existing VTR
VariCam (AJ-HDC27H) systems.
48-kHz/16-Bit, 4-Channel Digital Audio
These camcorders 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 optional AJ-MC900G stereo microphone lets
you record stereo with a single mic.
