HPM100 P2 Recorder
Panasonic AJ-HPM100 P2 Recorder
Called the P2 Mobile, this portable, rugged 4:2:2, 10-bit capable solid-state memory recorder/player is ideal for field production, postproduction as well as ENG applications. With the new AJ-YBX200 AVC-Intra codec board (option) installed, the P2 Mobile can record full-raster 1920 x 1080 or 1280 x 720p images with 10-bit sampling, which makes it well suited for "video village" use in the production of movies, TV series, documentaries, commercials and more.
The P2 Mobile features multi-format recording and playback with a six-slot P2 card reader, versatile inputs/outputs (HD-SDI, IEEE 1394, USB 2.0), an SD memory card slot, job/shuttle dial and up/down/cross conversion between 1080i and 720p and between high definition and standard definition formats. Plus, the P2 Mobile combines professional editing controls with audio faders, a 9-inch widescreen LCD monitor with stereo speakers, and a compact, magnesium die-cast body. It's a versatile and powerful mobile recording/editing solution for field recording (including pool feeds) and video production, as well as for use in mobile vans or in desktop non-linear/linear editing systems.
The P2 Mobile allows a user to record in DVCPROHD/50/25 and in AVC-Intra. The AVC-Intra codec board offers highly efficient encoding and extended recording time with 10-bit, 4:2:2 image quality. The AVC Codec offers two modes: AVC-Intra 100 Mbps for higher-end, full-bit HD quality and AVC-Intra 50 Mbps for storage efficient operation with high image quality.
With its extensive functionality and multiple-format video capabilities, the P2 incorporates the best of the AV and IT worlds, allowing you to work in 10-bit, 4:2:2 high definition or standard definition, bridging the gap between the P2 file format and baseband video. The P2 Mobile's capabilities enable you to excel at projects that require multiple video, audio, IEEE1394, RS-422 serial control for NLE connections, and let you take advantage of USB 2.0 to connect with industry-standard disk drives for consolidation of P2 card content.
