P2 Cards Offer Outstanding Mobility and Reliability

P2 cards feature a large capacity of up to 64 GB* (using the AJ-P2C064, fourth quarter 2008), a compact size, and light weight of 45 grams (1.5 ounces).

This solid-state memory card is highly resistant to shock and vibration, so it brings high reliability and mobility to outdoor shooting. It lets the camera start recording immediately from Standby mode, and allows shooting to start within three seconds of turning the power on. This speedy response shortens downtime when replacing batteries, and greatly cuts down on battery power consumption by letting you turn the power off during standby.

P2 cards can even be exchanged with the power off. Recorded data

is automatically stored in blank card areas with no cueing required. This eliminates the risk of accidentally overwriting valuable data.

*Total card capacity includes space for data management such as system data, so the actual usable area is less than the capacity indicated on the card.

Recording Functions with Five P2 Card Slots

With five P2 cards installed, the P2 HD VariCam can capture up to 800 minutes of 1080/24p content. It also provides several recording functions that are possible only with memory cards.

•Card selection: The recording slot can be changed (sequential switching) even during recording. This lets you review, organize, edit and transmit just recorded content. Content can also be organized while shooting, by switching cards for each scene category. •Hot-swap-rec:You can replace a full memory card with a blank one while the P2 cam is recording onto a second card. Successively swapping cards this way gives you virtually unlimited recording capability.

•Loop-rec*:By loop recording onto a specified recording area, you can continue to record over a fixed area.

•Pre-rec*:While in standby mode, you can continuously store, and subsequently record, up to 8 seconds of video and audio. In effect, this lets you record footage of events that occur even before you press the rec start button, giving you a way to "go back" and capture moments you otherwise would have missed.

•Interval rec*: This gives you automatic intermittent recording based on a set interval and recording time.

•One-shot rec*: This frame-shot recording function is useful for producing animations.

•Rec review: This lets you run a quick playback check of the 2 to 10 seconds that lead up to the end of the clip you have just recorded.

*These functions cannot be used for variable frame rate recording.
