Bringing Greater Reliability to News Acquisition: The P2 card
The P2 card far surpasses videotape and discs in reliability. It withstands shock up to 1,500 G and vibration up to 15 G, operates in temperatures from –20 to 60°C, and can be stored in temperatures from –40 to 80°C. The P2 lets you work in the harshest news gathering environments in the world. And a card can be rewritten repeatedly, with no degradation and no drop-outs. With the P2 card's rewritability, you don't have to carry as much gear to acquire the news. This means greater mobility in the field, with less equipment and a smaller crew.
News Gathering Solutions: The P2 cam Because the P2 camera-recorders have no drive mechanism, they provide reliable recording even when subjected to shock and vibration. Mobility is outstanding. The full-size P2 cams have five cards slots and offer seamless, continuous recording over all five. Cards load and unload quickly. A hot-swap function lets you replace cards on the fly. A built-in colour LCD monitor displays thumbnails of recorded clips. The P2 cams also offer proxy data recording, voice memo capability, and shot markers. AJ-SPC700 is cost-affordable, and have the lowest power consumption in its class.
P2 handheld — Innovative Camera-Recprder The new AG-HVX200 handheld camera-recorder takes P2 mobility a step further. The first P2 unit to offer DVCPRO HD/SD multi-format recording, this handheld is a high-end, affordable solution to everything from news gathering to contents production.
The 'P2 store' and 'P2 mobile' Bring Greater Ease and Efficiency to Field Work Equipped with a P2 slot and hard disk drive, the portable AJ-PCS060G P2 store lets you copy a recorded P2 card right in the field and re- initialise it for immediate re-use. You get extended recording time using only a few P2 cards. Also, you can insert a P2 card directly into the card slot of a notebook PC and view data on the PC screen or transfer it over a network.* You can also insert a P2 card into a compatible mobile nonlinear editor for editing and production right on the card itself.
The P2 mobile, now under development, is a portable recorder that will speed up the entire workflow, from viewing and editing (playlist creation) to on-air transmission.
* The P2 card driver (standard equipped) must be installed.
The P2 card driver operates under Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Mac OS X.
