Any of theclips can be accessed instantly.The new shift button and scroll bar allow easy selection of clips.A playback can be paused, fast-forwarded, and reversed just like atape, and an unwanted clip can be deleted by selecting and deletingthe corresponding thumbnail image. You can also specify a numberof clips for seamless playback* or on-air broadcasting from fields.* Seamless playback is not possible between clips recorded in different formats.Advanced Recording FunctionsEmploying Two Card Slots• Card selection: The recording slot can be changed (sequentialswitching). This lets you review, organize, edit and transmit just-recorded content. Content can also be organized while shooting, byswitching cards for each scene category.• Hot-swap rec: Thanks to the two card slots, you can hot-swap P2cards for continuous non-stop recording.• Loop-rec*: By allocating the open space on two P2 cards, thecamera continue to record over that area until the operator pushesthe stop button.• Pre-rec: This stores approximately 8 seconds of video and audiodata in memory while in standby mode and lets you recover and usethe data from the approximate 8 seconds before you started recording.• Interval rec*: This gives you automatic intermittent recording basedon a set interval and recording time.• One-shot rec*: This frame-shot recording function is useful forproducing animations.• Rec review: This lets you run a quick playback check of theclip-end you have just recorded.Text Memo (Bookmark) and Shot MarkWhen recording or previewing a clip, press the Text Memo button atany of up to 100 locations and a text memo label, similar to abookmark, is registered. Using only the P2 cam, you can create anew clip with data copied between text memo labels. Text informationcan also be written into each memo.A shot mark, which allows convenient OK and NG marking, can alsobe added to each clip during or after recording. Text memo and shotmark facilitate the search and display of a desired scene duringnonlinear editing.*Text memo and shot mark cannot be added in Loop-rec, Interval-rec, or One-shot recmode.One-Clip Rec ModeThe One-Clip Rec mode is handy for recording a variety of events.Whereas normal Rec mode produces a clip for each Rec start/stopcut, One-Clip Rec mode records up to 99 consecutive cuts as asingle clip, which greatly improves the nonlinear editing work thatfollows. A text memo is automatically attached when recordingbegins, making it easy to find desired cuts within the clip.Supports Metadata Such as GPS InformationWhen the optional AJ-GPS910G GPS Unit is mounted,the AJ-HPX3100G can record position information (latitude,longitude, altitude) as UMID information metadata. It also enables therecording of information pre-registered via an SD card, such as thecamera operator’s name, reporter’s name and program name, as clipmetadata. This data can be used to manage clips and to provide easysearching and sorting. The metadata on each clip can be viewed byPC or other devises via a P2 card, a USB cable or the optionalAJ-WM30 wireless module in addition to AJ-HPX3100G itself.Direct Upload to a PC*1 or Nonlinear EditorThe AJ-HPX3100G records the A/V data for each recording as a fileon the P2 card, which eliminates the need for digitizing. The files canbe used directly in a nonlinear editing system or, they can betransferred over a network or simply onto a hard disk drive. The P2card transfers data at a high speed up to 1.2 Gbps*2 allowing faster,easier operation. The P2 card is convenient too — you can plug itdirectly 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 variouscompanies. Read “Notes Regarding the Handling of P2 Files Using a PC” on the back page.*2: 1.2 Gbps is the maximum transfer speed when using the P2 card E Series. Transfer speedis subject to changes depending on the system configuration.REC START REC START REC START REC STARTREC STOP REC STOP REC STOPSingle Clip…………max. 99consecutive cutsTEXT MEMO 1 TEXT MEMO 2 TEXT MEMO 36
