2/3-type Shoulder-Type HD Camera-Recorder with Three Image Sensors.
The world’s lightest*1 2/3 type shoulder-type HD camera-recorder with three image sensors revolutionizes news gathering with high mobility, superb picture quality and network functions.
The AJ-PX800G is a new-generation camera-recorder for newsgathering. It is network connectable and provides superb picture quality, high mobility and excellent costperformance. Weighing only about 2.8 kg (main unit), the AJ-PX800G is the world’s lightest*1 shoulder-type camera-recorder equipped with three MOS image sensors for broadcasting applications. It also supports AVC-ULTRA multi-codec recording.*2 The picture quality and recorded data rate can be selected from one of the AVC-ULTRA family of codec’s (AVC-Intra/AVC-LongG) according to the application. Along with a Low-rate AVC-Proxy dual-codec recording ideal for network-based operation and off-line editing. Built-in network functions support wired LAN, wireless LAN*3 and 4G/LTE network connections,*3 enabling on-site preview, uploading data to a server and streaming. The AJ-PX800G is a single-package solution for virtually all broadcasting needs.
Acquisition > Automatic Uploading
Recorded clips (proxy or actual files) are uploaded directly from the AJ-PX800G to a network. The new Rec During Upload function automatically uploads files to a network server in the background while recording.
Full-HD Streaming
On-air streaming (via the internet) is possible while recording mainstream video onto a memory card, using only the AJ-PX800G. This QoS (Quality of service) mode allows proxy images in Full-HD resolution to be streamed at a low bit rate by optimizing the bit rate to match the network condition.
Preview and Remote
Wireless connection is supported via a wireless LAN. Clips recorded by a PC/Mac, tablet device or smartphone can be previewed and metadata can be checked and edited. P2 ROP App for iPad is also provided for multifunctional camera remote operation.
Cloud Solution
Even smoother operation is possible by using a cloud service. Proxy files that are automatically uploaded to a cloud server can be edited (remote playlist editing) from a network, and only the necessary data can be sent from the AJ-PX800G to an ingest server.
Wired/Wireless LAN, 4G/LTE Network Functions*1
The standard LAN (Ethernet) port allows network connection via a wired LAN. When the optional AJ-WM30 Wireless Module is installed, the AJ-PX800G gains wireless LAN (IEEE 802.11g/n) connectivity, enabling access to the following functions from a network-connected PC/Mac, tablet device or smartphone. 4G/LTE connection is also possible.
- Proxy Preview: Plays back proxy files (AVC-Proxy), downloads file/clip information, displays and allows editing of metadata, and enables addition/deletion of shot marks and text memos.*2
- Camera Remote: Easy remote operation is possible from various devices by using a web app. The iPad app (available free of charge from the Apple App Store, P2 ROP) enables multifunctional remote operation equivalent to ECU.
- Playlist Editing: Playlists can be created using proxy video with a PC/Mac or tablet. The workflow can be streamlined to be faster by rough editing on location, and then transferring the content files.
- File Transfer: When connected via wired/wireless LAN or 4G/LTE, the FTP client function lets you transfer clips from the camera recorder to a network. Recording and playback are possible during file transfer.
Transferring Recorded Clips Automatically: Rec During Uploading Function
The Rec during Uploading function*, which automatically and sequentially transfers recorded clips to an FTP server or cloud service, has also been newly added. Uploading is done in the background, and recording/playback continues during the transfer. In addition to allowing the camera operator to concentrate on shooting without any concerns about uploading, this also boosts the levels of safety and immediacy. The transfer status can be checked on the LCD monitor or viewfinder. If the network is disconnected during transfer, or the power of the camera is turned off, transfer resumes when the connection or power is recovered. Manual transfer of up to 100 registered clips is also possible.
The 2/3 type Shoulder-type Model
The AJ-PX800G is the world’s lightest* in its class at approximately 2.8 kg (6.2 lb) for the main unit. This compact body provides superb mobility. It is also designed with excellent forward visibility.
