11GeneralFeatures of the Input/Output unit General (Reference values when cards are used for continuous recording with our products. Actual recording time depends on the kind of scenes and the number of clips.) The driver installed on the unit must be updated when using SD memory cards other than as listed above. To update the driver, refer to [Updating the firmware incorporated into the camera-recorder] (page 193) For the latest information on P2 cards and SD memory cards not available in the operating Instructions, visit the P2 Support Desk at the following Web sites. https://eww.pavc.panasonic.co.jp/pro-av/ _Features USB2.0 port (HOST/DEVICE) By connecting with a PC via USB2.0, a P2 card inserted in AJ-HPX3000 can be used as a bulk storage device. It is also possible to store data on a P2 card onto a USB 2.0-connected external hard disk equipped with USB host capability as well as view clips stored on hard disks and write them to P2 cards. (Refer to page 135) _DVCPRO (IEEE1394) input/output provided as a standard configuration Data can be input/output to an external device through the IEEE1394 digital interface. Use a 6-pin type connector. The unit does not support the bus power. While operating AVC-Intra, it is impossible to input/ output data with IEEE 1394. (Refer to page 133) _HD/SD SDI output featured as standard Video can be output as HD SDI signals, down-converted SD SDI signals, or analog composite signals. SDI output includes embedded audio etc.. (Refer to page 44) Note that the SD mode does not output HD SDI signals. _Down converter output provided as a standard configuration In HD mode, the MON OUT output connector and the VIDEO OUT connector (in setting VBS mode) output down converter (analog composite) signals. It is optimum for confirming shot images on the SD monitor. (Refer to page 44) _HD/SD SDI input function (when the AJ- YA350AG is attached) The camera-recorder with the AJ-YA350AG extension board attached can record SDI signals input through the SDI input connector only if the signals are in the same format as the camera-recorder. (The unit does not support the various Native methods.) _Remote control connector By connecting the remote control unit (AJ-RC10G), which is available as an optional accessory, the unit can be controlled remotely. (Refer to page 111) _Confirmation of return video signals It is possible to confirm the return video signals (analog HD-Y signals in the HD mode/VBS or Y signals in the SD mode) supplied to the GENLOCK IN connector of AJ-HPX3000 in the viewfinder to confirm programs. (Only video signals from the same record format can be confirmed.) (Refer to page 178) _DC OUT connector The DC OUT connector of the unit produces 1.5 A of electrical current. By connecting an external switch to this connector, it is possible to control REC start/stop. Since a tally lamp can be used by connecting the LED to this connector, it is useful for shooting video when fixing the camera on a crane.

12GeneralOther features _Viewfinder connection From the viewfinder connector of the unit, 1080-59.94i, 1080-50i, 480-59.94i or 576-50i signals are output. Furthermore, signals are output for switching the frequencies of the connected viewfinder. Confirm images in multi formats by connecting the viewfinder (AJ-HVF21G), which is available as an optional accessory. (Refer to page 28) While the AJ-VF20WBP (59.94 Hz)/E (50 Hz) can also be connected, you cannot view video in formats with different frequencies. _User button On the side panel of the unit, three user buttons (USER MAIN/USER1/USER2) are available. Each button can be assigned the on/off function for any frequently used feature selected from among the many features of the unit, such as P2 card slot select (Refer to page 51).

They are used to adjust the speed of the synchro scan. The – button decreases shutter speed; the + button increases shutter speed. If you shoot a PC monitor, for example, you should adjust shutter speed so that the horizontal bars in the viewfinder will produce less noise. 11.REC START/STOP button Pressing this button starts recording, pressing again stops recording. This button has the same function as the 24. REC button on the handle and the VTR button at the lens. 12.SHOT MARK/Menu cancel button Pressing this button while recording adds a shot mark to the thumbnail of that clip. This button also adds a shot mark to any thumbnail selected on the LCD monitor. For more information on shot marks, see [ Shot Mark Function ] (page 42). This button cancels the revised set value when the menu is displayed. 13.Text memo button Records a text memo if pressed during recording or playback or when playback is paused. Auto Knee function Usually, when you adjust levels to shoot people or scenery against a strongly lit background, the background will be totally whited-out, with buildings and other objects blurred. In this case, the AUTO KNEE function reproduces the background clearly. This function is effective when: The subject is a person positioned in the shade under a clear sky. The subject is a person inside a car or building, and you also want to capture the background visible through a window. The subject is a high-contrast scene.
