seconds in DVCPRO HD of video and audio. In effect, this lets you
record footage of events that occur even before you press the rec
start button, giving you a way to "go back" and capture moments
you otherwise would have missed.

•One-shot rec: Convenient for producing animation, this mode

records for a set time (from 1 frame to 1 second) each time you
press the Start button. 

•Interval rec: Recording one frame at a time at set intervals (from 2

frames to 10 min), this mode is useful for monitoring and special
ultra-undercranking effects.

Clip Thumbnail/Data Function

The AG-HVX200A records each cut as a clip (file) and automatically
attaches a thumbnail image and file information to it. To preview a clip
on the LCD monitor or to check clip data, simply choose the clip you
want from the list of thumbnails. 

Shot Marker Function

If desired, you can add a simple OK/NG shot marker to each clip
either during or after recording. When a P2 card containing marked
clips is inserted* in a PC, the PC will display with a M demarkation in
the P2 viewer / P2 Content Management Software, P2CMS,

which of the clips is the one with the Marker. 

* This function requires P2 viewer or P2CMS software for Windows PC or 
MAC computers, which P2 users can download for free.

Connects Directly to PCs and Macs

In PC mode, the AG-HVX200A connects directly via USB
2.0 to a PC running Windows. In IEEE 1394 Device mode, it
connects directly to a Mac. This lets you use the 
AG-HVX200A as a P2 card drive, providing easy access 
to recordings on the P2 card.

* The included P2 driver must be installed in the
Windows PC or Mac computer. 
Read "Notes Regarding the Handling of P2
Files Using a PC" on the back page.

Added Versatility for Field Work

The battery-powered AJ-HPG10
portable recorder — or P2 Gear —
gives the AG-HVX200A the added
versatility needed in the field.
Equipped with two card slot and 3.5
inch LCD monitor, the P2 Gear allows
quick viewing and copying P2 files,
card-to-card.  You can also use the
P2 Gear for line, backup recording via
IEEE 1394, or copying files to an
external hard disk drive via USB or
IEEE 1394.
