The 16GB P2 solid state memory card offers recording capacity comparable to and often greater than tape and disc-based media, but with no-moving-parts reliability and the benefits of an IT file-based workflow.
Panasonic's P2 card is a PCMCIA compatible plug-in card based on ultra-reliable, solid-state memory, integrating four high-performance SD cards like those now used in digital still cameras, and packaged in a rugged, die-cast frame that weighs only 0.099 lbs (45 grams). This convenient card has four times the capacity and four times the transfer speed of a single SD card. The P2 card is reusable and connects instantly with laptops and major non-linear editing systems to eliminate the time-consuming task of digitizing.
The re-usable P2 card is resistant to impact, vibration, shock, dust and environmental extremes including temperature changes.
Recording time on a single 16GB card:
16 minutes in DVCPRO HD
40 minutes in DVCPRO HD 24pN
32 minutes in DVCPRO 50
64 minutes in DVCPRO
IMPORTANT COMPATIBILITY NOTE
When the 16 GB P2 became available in May 2007, it was initially to be compatible only with new AG-HPX500 and current AG-HVX200 shipments (starting May 2007). Other P2 camcorders and products (including earlier shipments of the AG-HVX200) will be compatible via a free, firmware upgrade.
All other P2 camcorders and accessories will NOT include 16GB compatibility and will need to be upgraded when available. See below for expected dates.
