AJ-HPX2000 can be connected to a hard disc drive that
supports USB 2.0 to store data from cards on it, view
thumbnails for stored clips, and write data back to P2
cards.
Notes
z
When copying data, a hard disc drive must have
sufficient free space.
z
Do not connect more than one drive even through a hub
or any other device.
1
By navigating the menu, set the PC MODE SELECT
menu option on the SYSTEM MODE screen to USB
HOST, then the PC MODE option to ON. This will
place the camera-recorder in USB HOST mode.
z
When the camera-recorder is in USB HOST mode,
the viewfinder indicates “USB HOST” and the USB
LED on the side panel stays illuminated. If the hard
disc drive is not properly connected, then the LED
blinks.
z
When a user button is assigned the PC MODE on/
off switching capability, you can press that user
button to switch between the normal and USB
HOST modes. For information about how to assign
functions to the user buttons, see [

2
Press the THUMBNAIL button to go to the thumbnail
screen. Check to see that the screen indicates “USB
HOST” in the lower right corner. When a hard disc
drive is connected, the HDD indication in the upper
right corner stays illuminated. If it is illuminated in red,
then an unusable hard disc drive is connected. If this
is the case, check the type of drive.
For information about the HDD indication, see
[Thumbnail Screen] (page 101).
Note
In USB HOST mode, clips on P2 cards can be displayed
but video from the camera or an external device cannot be
recorded. Clips written to a hard disc must be written back
to a P2 card before it can be played back. For information
about how to write clips back to P2 cards, see [
