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 P2 card:
- 16 minutes in DVCPRO HD
- 40 minutes in DVCPRO HD at 24pN
- 32 minutes in DVCPRO50
- 64 minutes in DVCPRO
