P2 Series – broadcast equipment that brings
unprecedented mobility, performance and
convenience to news gathering.
Bringing Greater Reliability to
News Acquisition: The P2 card
The P2 card far
surpasses videotape and discs in reliability. It
withstands shock up to 1,500 G and vibration up
to 15 G, operates in temperatures from –4 to
140°F (–20 to 60°C), and can be stored in
temperatures from –40 to 176°F (–40 to 80°C).
The P2 lets you work in the harshest news
gathering environments in the world. And a card
can be rewritten repeatedly, with no degradation
and no drop-outs. With the P2 card's
rewritability, you don't have to carry as much
gear to acquire the news. This means greater
mobility in the field, with less equipment and a
smaller crew.
News
Gathering Solutions: The P2 cam Because the P2 camera-recorders have no
drive mechanism, they provide reliable recording
even when subjected to shock and vibration.
Mobility is outstanding. The full-size P2 cams
have five cards slots and offer seamless,
continuous recording over all five. Cards load
and unload quickly. A hot-swap function lets you
replace cards on the fly. A built-in color LCD
monitor displays thumbnails of recorded clips.
The P2 cams also offer proxy data recording,
voice memo capability, and shot markers. AJ-SPC700 is cost-affordable, and have the
lowest power consumption in its class.
Newly Developped;
P2 handheld and P2 store The new AG-HVX200 handheld camera-recorder
takes P2 mobility a step further. The first P2
unit to offer DVCPRO HD/SD multi-recording, this
handheld is a high-end, affordable solution to
everything from news gathering to contents
production.
The new AJ-PCS060G P2 Store - a portable disk
unit that provides high-speed data copying -
simplifies the use of P2 cards, speeds up
production, and helps keep costs down
Immediate
Viewing, Data Transfer and Nonlinear Editing P2 is fast. In data transfer and editing speed, It stands
far beyond other media. The P2 card slips into the card slot on
a laptop PC* and mounts directly — no digitizing required — for
immediate viewing or network data transfers. With a
P2-compatible mobile nonlinear editor, you can edit recorded
clips directly. No uploading (file copying) is necessary. With a
USB 2.0 cable, you can connect the P2 cam to a PC and use the
cam's five card slots as an external drive. Powerful functions
like these deliver you unprecedented speed in the field and
greatly reduce production time — a big advantage in this "get
the news first and faster" business. Also, being able to use a
laptop PC as a monitor, editor, and for data transfer means more
mobility and less strain on your budget
Random Access Playback and Nonlinear Editing: The P2 deck The P2 Series provides super-fast news transmission from
mobile vans. This is thanks in part to the P2 deck, which
features five P2 card slots and the same kind of jog & shuttle
operation as a VTR. Simply view the thumbnails of the recorded
clips on the front-panel Color LCD Monitor, and use the jog dial
to select the ones you want. The clips can be played back
instantly for on-air playback.
Its Playlist function lets you play the equivalent of 100 events
on a nonlinear editor, for quick post-acquisition program
production and transmission. With a USB 2.0 cable, you also can
connect the P2 deck to a PC and use the deck as an external
drive for a P2-compatible nonlinear editor.
Studio
Networking: The P2 drive The DVCPRO P2 Series stands as a remarkably high-speed
solution to studio networks that use nonlinear editors and AV
servers. The P2 drive is designed for either built-in or
external use on any PC equipped with a USB 2.0 interface. With
the P2 drive connected, you can use a desktop PC* to instantly
preview the data on a P2 card or transfer it to the server. Or,
with a P2-compatible nonlinear editor you can use recorded clips
directly as editing clips.
More Flexibility — Combined VTR Use and Data Archive System Panasonic's ING concept — IT-based
news gathering — is not a closed system. The P2 decks are
equipped with the same interfaces as today's DVCPRO VTRs, so
they can link seamlessly into conventional systems for tape
editing and on-air transmission
