Play Back Variable Frame-Rate Sources
P2 Gear supports the variable frame-rate recording widely used in
creative video production. Use P2 Gear for on-the-spot previewing
of slow-motion and other special effects recorded in 720pN (native)
mode with the AG-HPX500 or AG-HVX200 camera-recorder.
Simplified Waveform and Vectorscope Display
P2 Gear has a built-in Waveform and Vectorscope display that
many will find to be very useful in making a judgment call on the
recorded material, or the
incoming signal.
A single touch of the function
key displays the waveform
and vectors of a playback
video signal or IEEE 1394
input video signal.
(Vectors are shown on the
right side of the image, wave
form on the bottom)
Repeat Playback
For presentations and demonstrations, use P2 Gear for repeated
playback of a selected clip or multiple clips*. Playback is seamless,
with no need for rewinding or cuing. There is no wear or image
deterioration even after extended hours of continuous playback.
*The clips must be in the same format.
Resume Playback
If you press the Stop key during playback, P2 Gear temporarily
"bookmarks" the stop position until another operation is performed.
When you press the Play key, playback resumes at the
bookmarked position.
*The bookmark memory is reset when the power is turned off. Also, the resume playback
function is factory-set to OFF. To use it, you must activate it using the menu screen.
Small, Lightweight and Fully Mobile
P2 Gear main unit weighs just 1.1 kilograms (2.5 lbs) and is small
enough to use with one hand. Thanks to its rugged construction,
it's tough enough to withstand rigorous
field use. A powerful 5400-mAh
battery pack mounts to the main
unit's back. P2 Gear can also use
the AG-HVX200's battery, or plug
it into an ordinary AC outlet using
the adaptor provided.
