High-End Production with AVC-Intra Codec, 24 bit Audio, and 24 PsF.

AVC-Intra Codec

The AVC-Intra codec 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. The AG-HPD24 can record in AVC-Intra 100 for maximum picture quality or in AVC-Intra 50, which adopts a lower bit rate, for versatile operation. It also supports the DVCPRO HD codec.
• AVC-Intra 100: With the same bit rate as DVCPRO HD, this mode gives you full 10 bit recording with 1920 x 1080* pixels. It captures masterquality video for high-end image production.
• AVC-Intra 50: This mode delivers video quality very similar to DVCPRO HD with 1440 x 1080* pixels, 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 and cuts the data transfer time in half.
* These figures are for 1080i/p mode. The AG-HPD24 also supports 720p mode.

24PsF Compatible, HD/SD Multi-Format

Handling a wide range of HD formats, such as 1080p, 1080i and 720p, the AG-HPD24 can be switched between 59.94 Hz and 50 Hz to adapt to the world's HD broadcasting formats. The AG-HPD24 supports 1080/24p native recording and playback with the AVC-Intra codec. HD SDI mode provides 1080/24PsF input/output for use in high-end movie production. And SD recording in both NTSC (480i) and PAL (567i) are available with multi codec (DVCPRO 50, DVCPRO, DV).

Up-/Down-/Cross-Conversion

The AG-HPD24 can convert up or down between HD and SD or crossconvert between 720p and 1080i during playback. It also features an
aspect conversion function.
* Only cross-conversion is available in 3D mode.
* The closed caption signal in the SD signal is not output during up-/down-/cross-conversion playback.

VariCam Speed Effects

The AG-HPD24 can extract active frames from VFR (variable frame rate) signals output by a VariCam and record them in 720/24p. VariCam-like 60p pull-down output can also be provided by playing back a video clip in a P2 card recorded in native 720/24p by the AJ-HPX2700, the AG-HPX500 Series, the AG-HPX370 Series, the AG-HPX170 Series or the AG-HPX250 (scheduled for release in Autumn 2011) P2HD camera recorders.
* Not supported in 3D mode.

Gamma Conversion for Cinema Production

This function converts images recorded by a VariCam or images recorded in the Film Rec mode of the AJ-HPX3100 to the same kind of film-like look as the Telecine 5 or Telecine 6 mode of the AJ-GBX27G HD Gamma Corrector. It can also convert to the Cineon curve for film-recording.

High-Quality 24 bit Audio Recording

AVC-Intra mode features high-quality 24 bit digital audio recording. You can select either 24 bit 4 channel or 16 bit 8 channel recording. DVCPRO HD mode provides 16 bit 8 channel, and DVCPRO 50/DVCPRO/DV mode includes 16 bit 4 channel recording.
* To play video clips recorded with 24 bit audio, use a 24 bit-compatible P2 device or P2 viewer. A P2 device that is not 24 bit compatible will display the clip number in red, and playback will not be possible. A P2 viewer that is not 24 bit compatible will not produce normal sound. Use the latest P2 viewer version. For current information on 24 bit-compatible P2 devices and P2 viewers, see " Service and Support ".

Excellent Reliability and Mobility with the P2 Card

The P2 card offers a large capacity of up to 64 GB* in a small, lightweight package. Its rugged design withstands even harsh professional use. It is highly resistant to temperature fluctuations, dust, impact and vibration, and is free of the problems that are common in tapes, such as condensation, head clogging and dropouts. The P2 card promises solid reliability and excellent mobility under the often difficult conditions of field recording. Because data is automatically recorded in blank card spaces, there is no need for cueing and the risk of accidentally overwriting valuable data is eliminated.
* Total card capacity includes space for data management such as system data; therefore, the actual usable area is less than the capacity indicated on the card. For details on recording times, see the table below on the compatibility of input signals and recording formats.
