The P2 card is a semiconductor memory card designed for the P2HD series, Panasonic's line of professional video and
broadcast equipment.
■ Since the P2 format records data as files, it is ideally
suited for PC processing. Video and audio are recorded
in the MXF file format while the metadata is stored in the
folders with the configuration shown at right.
If any of this data is changed or lost, it will not be
recognized as P2 data or the P2 card may no longer be
possible to use in a P2 device.
■ In order to prevent any of the information from being lost when transferring the data on a P2 card to a PC or writing the data
stored in a PC onto a P2 card, be absolutely sure to download the dedicated software, "P2 viewer" or "P2 content
management software" from the following web site and use it for this purpose.
(For supporting OS, refer to the following web site as well.)

■ Follow the steps below to use general IT tools such as Microsoft Windows Explorer or Apple Finder to transfer the data to a
PC. Be sure to use P2 Viewer to write data back to a P2 card.
• Process the CONTENTS folder and the LASTCLIP.TXT file together.
Do not modify the data below the CONTENTS folder.
In copying, be sure to copy both the CONTENTS folder and the LASTCLIP.TXT file together.
• When transferring data from multiple P2 cards, create separate folders for each P2 card to prevent overwriting clips with
identical names.
• Do not delete data on a P2 card.
• Be sure to use a P2 device or the P2 Viewer to format P2 cards.
