P2 Memory Card Recording Brings the IT
Revolution to Video Production
Neither tape nor disc, the
P2 card is a semiconductor
memory device that can
hold large amounts of
video and audio data.
The P2 card's advanced
AV technology bring the proven benefits of
an IT workflow to broadcasting and video
production. Memory card recorders have no drive
mechanism, so maintenance costs are much lower.
And with their outstanding resistance to impact, vibration,
temperature change, dust and other environmental conditions,
they offer the high reliability you need in news acquisition and
video recording. P2 also transfers data at higher speeds than
optical discs or hard drives, so video production is quicker.
And P2 files can be transferred as they are – no digitizing
required - to nonlinear editors and other network-connectable
equipment. With all these advantages, it's no wonder many of
the world's leading broadcast stations have already adopted
P2. Panasonic P2 equipment has turned in gold-medal
performances on the biggest stages - such as the 2004
