P2 Card Recording Functions On The Ag-Hvx200 - Panasonic HVX200A - Camcorder - 1080p Manual Book

3. A Revolution in Recording with the P2 Card
3-3 P2 Card Recording Functions
on the AG-HVX200
Dual Card Slots and Multi-Codec
Recording
The AG-HVX200 has two P2 card slots,
so you can record continuously onto two
cards at a time. Choose from a DVCPRO
HD, DVCPRO 50, DVCPRO or DV codec, or
mix formats on the same card. An 8-GB
card lets you record up to 32 minutes in
DVCPRO or DV, 16 minutes in DVCPRO 50,
or 8 minutes in DVCPRO HD. Recording
time can be extended in 720p native mode,
to give you 20 minutes of 24pN recording.
Hot-swap recording
Thanks to the AG-HVX200's two card
slots, you can hot-swap P2 cards and have
continuous non-stop recording. With
multiple cards you can record for hours
without interruption. Or, using an
AJ-PCS060G, the "P2 Store," external hard
drive, you can download recorded files from
a P2 card and then initialize it (erasing the
files), so it's ready for re-use.
Loop recording
Using two P2 cards and setting the
AG-HVX200 for consecutive overwriting,
you can repeatedly re-record during a
particular recurring time slot, always
maintaining a recording of the most recent
period. Unlike video tape, P2 cards need no
rewinding. They maximize your time and
allow seamless, continuous recording. This
makes them especially useful for
unattended monitoring.
