18 Introduction: Features■ Gigabit Ethernet network supported● FTP clientIn the thumbnail screen, this network allows to select videostored on a P2 card or external hard disk and transfer it at highspeed via an FTP server on the Internet. Video stored on anFTP server can be displayed and selected as a thumbnail fordownloading to a P2 card or external hard disk. And SDmemory card data can be sent by the card to and from an FTPserver. The network also enables transmission of dataencrypted using SSH.● BrowserA browser mode enables the user to browse web sites withweb page authentication required for connecting to theInternet.● FTP serverThe unit can operate as an FTP server allowing a computer orother FTP client to load video files stored on P2 cards or in anexternal hard disk.● SAMBA serverWhen connected to a Windows computer or other networkcomputer, the unit can operate as a SAMBA server to loadvideo files stored on P2 cards or in an external hard disk.● HTTP serverUsing the unit as an HTTP server allows you to view lists ofvideo data from a browser on a computer, view metadata, andplay back proxy data.■ Editing and GUI● Independent audio and video editingAny video and audio (4ch) tracks can be independentlyselected for editing.● Insert editing and overwrite editingTwo types of editing are available: insert editing, in which newevents are added between two editing events and overwriteediting, in which a new event overwrites an event.● Two screens for editing material and playlist videoEditing material (player) and playlist (recorder) video appearin two screens at all times. A timeline indicating editing statusappears simultaneous with these screens for intuitive editing.● Capability to edit both tape and hard disk materialUse of a VTR or similar device with an RS-422A interface asplayer makes possible linear-like editing (deck-to-deckediting). Video data transferred to an eSATA or USB hard diskcan also be edited.● Function for adjusting audio level (variable) of any sectionPreview and audio level adjustments make it possible tooperate the audio playback fader for the required audiosection to adjust the audio level (variable).● Display and playback of player thumbnailsA player using P2 cards or a hard disk can display playerthumbnails. Thumbnails can be set to limit the clips used bythe player to the required clips.■ Audio AES/EBU input and output supported(16 bit, 48 kbps/4 ch)The unit comes with a 4-channel AES/EBU input and outputinterface as standard. This enables interfacing with digitalaudio equipment and digital VTRs using a 48 kHz samplingrate.■ AVCHD option (AJ-YCX250G)Installation of the AJ-YCX250G, an optional AVCHD codecboard, will enable recording and playback of the AVCHDformat on SD memory cards.This makes the following possible.• Dubbing AVCCAM recorded clips onto a P2 card in theDVCPROHD or AVC-Intra format, playlist editing of suchclips and ingesting such clips to non-linear editor.• Dubbing P2 card clips recorded on a P2HD camera-recorder to an SD memory card in the AVCHD format.• HD-SDI or other external input can be recorded asDVCPROHD or AVC-Intra to a P2 card simultaneous withrecording of the same input in AVCHD format video on anSD memory card.■ Waveform and vector displayThe LCD screen can display either video waveform or vectorwaveform.During up-conversion, a waveform is displayed after up-conversion.◆ NOTE:• A waveform is not displayed when there is no input signal.■ HD-SDI remoteWhen the unit is connected to a camera-recorder with anexternal device control, start and stop of recording of HD-SDIsignal input can be automatically controlled throughrecording start and stop signals in the input.■ USB keyboardA USB keyboard can be connected to enable the followingfunctions.● Entry and editing of clip metadata● Network setup, browser◆ NOTE:• Some USB keyboards may not enable normal input.■ VANC data recording/playback function(59.94 Hz, 50 Hz only)Recording and playback of ancillary data (VANC data) of upto 5760 bytes per frame conforming to SMPTE 291M issuperimposed on the vertical blanking area of video.
