General: Features of Recorder/player unit
_
Multiple Slots 
AJ-HPX3100 is equipped with 2 slots for P2 cards. 2 
cards may be inserted in these slots for continuous 
recording. They also provide new recording capabilities 
specific to memory cards.   
Hot-Swap recording
The Hot-Swap capability allows cards not in use to be 
replaced without interrupting recording. This facilitates 
continuous recording.
LOOP REC
AJ-HPX3100 can retain a certain amount of 
previously recorded material by continuously loop-
recording data into a specified recording area.
z
INTERVAL REC/ONE SHOT REC
The 
AJ-HPX3100 features interval recording at 
minimum one-frame intervals. This function is 
particularly suited to shooting science and nature 
programs. Frame-by-frame shooting is simple with the 
one-shot recording function.
z
PRE-RECORDING function
In standby status, AJ-HPX3100 always stores video 
and sound input to the camera for up to 8 seconds. 
This means that the PRE-RECORDING function, 
when turned on, records the video and sound for a 
preceding duration preset by the user.   This feature 
recovers critical moments that you might have 
missed. For DVCPRO and DV, video and sound can 
be recorded for up to 15 seconds.
z
ONE CLIP REC Function
This function compiles multiple recordings into a 
combined clip and does not isolate single recordings 
(from REC START to STOP) to single clips. The 
combined clip can be handled with ease with 
transferring or copying etc., as the clip can be treated 
as a single thumbnail or when editing. Up to a 
maximum of 99 recordings can be combined into this 
single clip.
z
Data protection
Data on P2 cards will not be lost due to overwriting 
unless the files are deleted or the cards are initialised. 
Recordings are written only to free space.
_
HD: Format AVC-I 100/AVC-I 50/DVCPRO HD
SD: Format DVCPRO50/DVCPRO/DV
Recorded video is compressed through a component 
digital recording method that uses a state-of-the-art 
compression technology, and sound is recorded using 
the non-compression PCM recording method, which 
excels in such areas as S/N ratio, frequency bands, 
waveform properties and reproducibility of fine areas. 
These methods further enhance the quality of images 
and sound. 
And it is also possible to select AVC (Advance Video 
Coding) compression of the ISO/IEC14496-10 standard 
in addition to DVCPRO HD in HD mode. The unit 
performs the in-frame compression.
In SD mode, you can select a recording format 
appropriate for your purpose. For example, choose 
DVCPRO50 to give higher priority to image quality or 
DVCPRO if cost efficiency is a high priority.
‹
Note
When the clip is played back in the format not selected on 
the menu, the picture may be disturbed until the format is 
detected.
_
4-channel Digital Audio Recording (all formats)
In HD (1080i) mode, 4-channel digital audio recording is 
used. Also, you can record at 24 bits when selecting 
AVC-Intra format. 
All formats in SD mode also support 4-channel digital 
audio recording with high-quality sound (48 kHz/16 bits). 
_
Clip Thumbnailing
z
Automatic generation of thumbnails
AJ-HPX3100 automatically generates a thumbnail for 
each recording cut (clip). It is possible to make use of 
this on the camera-recorder as well as for non-linear 
editing purposes, and after uploading to a server.
z
Thumbnail display on the LCD monitor
The 81.28 mm (3.2 inches) color LCD side of the your 
video camera-recorder can provide a multi-screen 
view of 12 clip thumbnails. You can choose a desired 
clip to playback instantly.
z
Seamless playback of selected clips
You can select more than one clip from the thumbnail 
view for continuous playback and output of seamless 
video. 
‹
Note
During continuous playback of clips in different recording 
formats, seamless playback is not available.
z
Display of clip information
By selecting clips, information added to clips, such as 
the recording time, Text Memo, Shot Marks and 
metadata can be checked.
