Panasonic P2 Card Format Specifications

A P2 card is a PC Card containing four Secure Digital memory cards ganged together in a RAID 0 array, providing quadruple the capacity and transfer speed of a single Secure Digital card. P2 cards are formatted using the FAT32 file system, which limits the size of a single file to 4 GB. For example, if you record continuously on an 8 GB P2 card,

a single shot will be broken into two 4 GB media files (known as a spanned clip).

The Panasonic file system organizes clips, media, and metadata into the following file hierarchy:

åCONTENTS: This is the root folder of a P2 card, containing folders of all recorded media and metadata.

åAUDIO: Contains audio media of each clip, wrapped within MXF container files.

åCLIP: Each clip on a P2 card is defined by an XML file identifying which video and audio MXF files are part of the clip, where the thumbnail (icon) file is located, and additional metadata describing the clip’s media.

åICON: Contains thumbnail files for each clip, usually in BMP format.

åPROXY: Contains optional, low-resolution MPEG-4 files representing each clip. Used for reviewing footage or previewing before transfer.

Note: The Panasonic AG-HVX200 camcorder does not record proxy files.

åVIDEO: Contains video media of each clip, wrapped within MXF container files. Common Panasonic codecs such as DV, DVCPRO 50, DVCPRO HD, and AVC-Intra are supported.

åVOICE: Contains optional voice annotations that can be associated with each clip.

Note: The Panasonic AG-HVX200 camcorder does not record voice annotations.

6 specifications

The Apple iPhone 6, released in September 2014, marked a significant evolution in Apple's smartphone lineup. This model introduced a larger screen and a sleeker design, setting the stage for future devices in the iPhone series.

One of the most notable features of the iPhone 6 was its display. With a 4.7-inch Retina HD screen, the iPhone 6 offered a resolution of 1334 x 750 pixels, delivering vibrant colors and sharp images. This screen size was a departure from previous models, appealing to users who favored larger displays for better viewing experiences, whether for gaming, watching videos, or browsing the web.

The design of the iPhone 6 was another highlight. It featured a slim, curved aluminum body that not only made it more aesthetically pleasing but also improved its ergonomics. Weighing just 129 grams, the phone was light yet robust. The placement of volume buttons, the power button, and the headphone jack was thoughtfully designed to enhance usability.

Under the hood, the iPhone 6 was powered by the A8 chip, a 64-bit dual-core processor that offered impressive performance and energy efficiency. Coupled with the M8 motion coprocessor, the device could effectively handle demanding apps and services while optimizing battery life, providing users with a smooth experience throughout the day.

The camera capabilities of the iPhone 6 were also advanced for its time. It featured an 8-megapixel rear camera with optical image stabilization and a f/2.2 aperture, allowing for clearer low-light photography. The front-facing camera was improved as well, offering a 1.2-megapixel resolution and support for 720p HD video, making it great for selfies and video calls.

Connectivity options included LTE support, enabling faster download speeds, and Wi-Fi calling, which allowed users to make calls over Wi-Fi networks, enhancing communication in areas with poor cellular coverage. The iPhone 6 also introduced the Apple Pay feature, allowing users to make secure transactions using their devices.

In terms of software, the iPhone 6 originally came with iOS 8, which boasted new features such as HealthKit and HomeKit, further integrating technology into daily life. Regular software updates ensured that users could enjoy the latest features and security enhancements well into the device's lifecycle.

Overall, the iPhone 6 distinguished itself with a combination of innovative design, powerful performance, and a user-friendly experience, solidifying Apple's position in the smartphone market and paving the way for future iterations in the iPhone lineup.
