P2 card recording times
(Example of using one 64 GB card)
"LINE&FREQ" setting (recording format)
1080-59.94P, 1080-50P
1080-59.94i, 1080-50i
720-59.94P, 720-50P
480-59.94i, 576-50i
Note:
• The recording times for 32 GB, 16 GB, and 8 GB P2 cards are 1/2, 1/4, and 1/8th of those shown above, respectively.
• The displayed sizes include the management area, for example, so the amount of space available for recording will be less than the
above.
Dividing of clips recorded to P2 cards
When an 8 GB or larger P2 card is used with the unit, continuous recordings longer than the durations shown in the table below
result in automatic division of the recording into multiple clips.
Recording formats (excluding native recording)
AVC-I200, AVC-I100 (1080p)
AVC-I100 (1080i), DVCPRO HD
AVC-G50, AVC-I50, DVCPRO50
AVC-G25, DVCPRO, DV
Also, you can enable a clip that is recorded to be split every approximately 128 seconds in the "FILE SPLIT" menu item (➝ page
98). The timing of clip transfer can be made earlier by using the rec during upload function with this split function. When clip
thumbnail operations (display, delete, repair, etc.) are performed on a P2 device, the split clips are also handled as a single clip.
However, the split clips may be displayed as separate clips in nonlinear editing software or on a PC or other device.
When recording to a microP2 memory card exceeding 32 GB using the AVC-LongG codec, you can enable continuous record-
ing as the same clip in the "FILE SPLIT" (➝ page 98) menu item.
Recording in which the same clip exceeds 4 GB is possible, but copying to storage using the usb-host mode of the unit will not
be possible.
Furthermore, you will not be able to copy the clip if the maximum size of one file is restricted to, for example, 4 GB by the format
(NTFS, FAT32, etc.) of the storage of the computer or other device, so configure the settings to match your environment.
Note:
When a clip is recorded by splitting it every approximately 128 seconds, recording is possible only for a maximum of 213 minutes.
Content Protection System (CPS)
microP2 memory cards support the content protection system (CPS), which is a security function that prevents data leakage to
third parties by recording in an encrypted format.
To use the CPS function, you need to set a CPS password and enable the microP2 memory card authentication function (➝
"Manual and Automatic CPS Authentication" page 55) and encrypted format function (➝ "Formatting P2 Cards and SD Memory
Cards" page 54) on the unit. microP2 memory cards in an encrypted format are authenticated automatically to enable use as
microP2 memory cards for recording and playback only on devices for which the same CPS password is set. For details on CPS
passwords, refer to "Manual and Automatic CPS Authentication" (➝ page 55).
Note:
• Up to 16 characters can be set for the password.
• An encrypted microP2 memory card cannot be recognized in an SD slot of a computer.
• If an authentication error occurs, perform authentication again with the correct password, format the card to enable use as storage
media, or eject it from the device. Do not perform any operation other than manual authentication or formatting while a card for which
an authentication error has occurred is inserted.
• To access an encrypted microP2 memory card from a computer when in USB device mode, perform authentication for the microP2
memory card with P2 Viewer Plus.
