AJ-PG50
AVC-ULTRA field recorder for backup recording, monitoring, previewing, file copying and to utilize AVC-ULTRA codecs in older P2 HD cameras.
The AJ-PG50 field recorder is the first standalone recorder to support the AVC-ULTRA codec. It an ideal solution for backup recording, monitoring, previewing, file copying as well as providing a legacy solution so owners with older Panasonic P2 HD cameras can leverage the newer AVC-ULTRA codecs through outboard recording to the PG50. Users can select the AVC-ULTRA image quality and bit rate to match their application. For instance, AVC-Intra 100/50 is optimal for top-level image production, while AVC-LongG achieves high-quality HD recording at a low bit rate. Three AVC-LongG bit rates are available — AVC-LongG50/25/12, with AVC-LongG25 providing 10 bit 4:2:2 quality at bit rates of approximately 25 Mbps. The PG50’s high-resolution AVC-Proxy* encodes in parallel with higher bandwidth production formats, enabling fast, efficient offline editing at bit rates from 6 Mbps down to 800kbps. In addition to 1080/59.94i, the PG50 supports 59.94p and 720p multi HD format and SD recording and is 59.94 Hz/50 Hz switchable for convenient use in international productions. The recorder also offers legacy recording in DVCPRO HD, DVCPRO50, DVCPRO and DV. Its standard LAN (Ethernet) port allows network connection via a wired LAN. When installed with the optional AJ-WM30 Wireless Module, the PG50 gains wireless LAN connectivity, enabling access to a variety of functions (proxy preview, camera remote, file transfer, playlist editing) from a network-connected PC/Mac, tablet device or smart phone**, affording a cost-effective IT solution. It can send data directly to a network server via FTP allowing broadcast stations to edit recorded data immediately. The PG50 is also capable of proxy image streaming via a wired LAN, wireless LAN, or 4G/LTE network***. Two streaming modes (SHQ, and full HD AVC-G6) are available. Other key features:
- Equipped with two microP2 card slots, one standard P2 card slot and one SD card slot. Recording functions include simultaneous recording on two microP2 cards, dual codec recording, hot-swap recording for uninterrupted recording between two microP2 cards, and more.
- Playback functions include auto playback, playback position selection, repeat playback and down-conversion from HD to SD.
- Offers a variety of input/outputs, including HDMI and 3G SDI, and offers a high-speed USB 3.0 (HOST) interface for transferring backup data to an external storage device and previewing externally stored files.
- Equipped with two XLR audio inputs, and recording up to four channels of 48kHz, 24-bit audio in AVC-Intra and AVC-LongG.
- A high-resolution QHD LCD 3.5″ monitor, so thumbnail images can be displayed, allowing instant playback, deletion or copying of selected clips. Full-screen image display enables use of the PG50 as a recording or preview monitor. Wave form, vectorscope and 4:3 marker can be displayed too.
- Often-used functions can be allocated to six user buttons, and a user file containing the settings can be saved to an SD card.
- Main unit weighs just 2.4 pounds, and is small enough to use with one hand.
- A powerful 5800-mAh battery pack, providing approximately 170 minutes of continuous playback time, mounts to the main unit’s back.
- Plugs into an ordinary AC outlet using a provided adaptor.
