P2 Card Revolution

A Semiconductor Memory

that Reflects Today's Leading Digital Technologies

Super-Compact, Large Capacity and High Speed

P2, which stands for Professional Plug-in, is a compact solid-state

memory card designed for professional AV use. Basically, four

SD/SDHC Memory Cards are packaged together to create a single P2

card. This gives the P2 card four times the transfer speed and four

times the write speed of a single SDHC card. Utilizing a precision die-

casting for the body of the card, it becomes the most rugged and

reliable memory device (class 6). A slim, large-capacity 32-GB*

card (AJ-P2C032RG) can hold 32 minutes of DVCPRO HD codec

recording yet weighs only about 45 grams. Compliant with PC Card

standards (Type II), the P2 card plugs directly into the card slot of a

laptop PC.*

AV data on the card mounts instantly, with each cut as an

MXF file. The data can be used immediately — no digitizing necessary

— for nonlinear editing, or it can be transferred over a network. The P2

far surpasses all other AV media in transfer speed, too.

The P2 cards transfer data at up to 640 Mbps*

speed up production processes.

*1: Total card capacity includes space for data management such as system data; therefore,

actual usable area is less than the capacity indicated on the card.

*2: The PC must be installed with the included P2 driver in order to mount P2 cards.

For editing, the PC must be installed with P2-compatible editing software available from

various companies. Read "Notes Regarding the Handling of P2 Files Using a PC" on the

back page.

*3: This data transfer speed is a theoretical value. The actual data transfer speed varies

according to operating conditions and other ancillary devices.

Reliable Performance, Repeatedly Reusable

P2 cards provide superb reliability in even the harsh environments. P2

cards withstand shock up to 1,500 G and vibration up to 15 G, operate

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). In durability too, the P2

card goes well beyond ordinary PC cards. Its connector portion, for

example, is specially designed for professional use and has passed

insertion/removal tests of more than 30,000 cycles. P2 cards also have

a write protect switch that helps prevent accidental data deletion. Solid

state memory has the unique advantage of being rewritable, over and

over again, in part because it is a non-contact media and requires

mechanical intervention. You can use the same P2 card again and

again for years — slashing media costs and operational maintenance

while also minimizing impact on the environment.

Immediate Startup and Better Data Protection

When you press the Record Button in standby mode, the

AG-HVX200A instantly finds a blank area of the P2 card and begins

recording. It can begin recording immediately even when you're using

it to preview video. There is no need to power down and reboot the

camera portion, you can go from playback to record in less than 2

seconds. There's no chance of accidentally overwriting a recording.

Recordings will not be erased unless you intentionally delete a file or

initialize the card.

Hot-Swap Recording and Other Functions that Add

Versatility

•Hot-swap recording: Thanks to

the AG-HVX200A's two card

, which can greatly

slots, you can hot-swap P2

cards and have continuous

non-stop recording. With

multiple cards you can record

for hours without interruption.

You could also use the P2

Gear, AG-HPG10, for off-

loading the card to a USB or

1394 drive. Then, once off-

loaded and verified, the card

can then be formatted and made ready for recording.

•Loop recording: Using two P2 cards and setting the AG-HVX200A

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 minimize wasted time and allow seamless, continuous

recording. This makes them especially useful for unattended

monitoring.

•Pre-rec: While in standby mode, you can continuously store, and

subsequently record, up to 7 seconds in DVCPRO50/DVCPRO or 3
