1. Cinema Production Workflow (P2 Card Recording)

P2 HD is an ideal system for producing 24p film for movie theater
use or creating 30p finished packages for TV use from high-quality
progressive images. The P2 card greatly improves shooting mobility.
P2 Content Management Software version 1.3 (for Mac*) lets you
convert AVC-Intra files recorded in Film-Rec gamma mode to
uncompressed DPX (P10-Log gamma) files. Also, still images can
be output as DPX files, so color grading instructions can be
prepared in advance.
*The software comes in both Windows and Mac versions, but only the Mac version
(version 1.3) includes the DPX conversion function.

2. AJ-HPX3700 Cinema Workflow

(Uncompressed Recording)

With its HD SDI dual-link capability, the AJ-HPX3700 can output
high-quality 1920 x 1080, RGB 4:4:4/10-bit images directly from the
camera. Also, images recorded in Film-Rec gamma mode can be
converted to P10-Log gamma images. Using a line connection to an
uncompressed video recorder (with a hard drive, etc.), the
AJ-HPX3700 can directly record images as DPX files, giving you the
highest possible image quality for P2 HD recording. Using files
recorded onto P2 cards for offline editing, you can achieve greater
efficiency in the final editing stage.

3. Workflow for 1080/59.94i Broadcasting

The P2 HD VariCam Series is an outstanding solution for producing
HDTV programs with 10-bit/4:2:2 sampling. It offers the high quality
provided by the advanced AVC-Intra 100 codec. And it can record
video data to a P2 card while at the same time saving onto an SD
Memory Card a low-resolution proxy file that can be used for off-line
editing. Editing a project off-line makes the final editing process
quicker and easier, which means greater production efficiency.
At the recording site, the AJ-HPM110 P2 Mobile by itself can be
used to monitor images, initialize P2 cards and copy data to them,
and copy files to an external hard drive.
*Proxy data cannot be recorded when using the variable frame rate function in Native
mode, or when the Pre-rec or Loop-rec functions are used.

Nonlinear Editing Partner

Panasonic has been working on the collaboration with strategic P2
Partners. Many nonlinear editing products from Apple, Avid, Grass
Valley, Harris and Quantel already support AVC-Intra. Autodesk has
announced AVC-Intra support too. The AVC-Intra editing workflow
is in place in the market.
