Panasonic has been sensitive to the inhibitive cost of the media. With five 32GB P2 cards installed, those using a Panasonic AJ-HPX3000 or HPX2000 P2 HD camcorder, for example, can record up to 2.5 hours (more than three hours in 24p) in AVC-Intra 100 or DVCPRO HD and 5 hours (more than 6.5 hours in 24p) in AVC-Intra 50 or DVCPRO 50. The solid-state P2 memory card can transfer data at speeds up to 640Mb/s, allowing news crews to begin working as the scene is being shot or very soon after. It operates in temperatures from 4 degrees below zero to 176 degrees Fahrenheit and can be stored in temperatures from 40 below to 176 degrees Fahrenheit. Panasonic said the P2 card is resistant to impact, vibration, shock, dust and environmental extremes, including temperature changes.

The card also uses the FAT32 file system, which makes the card compatible with both Macintosh and Windows systems. The current generation of E-Series P2 cards doesn’t use individual SD memory cards it uses multiple core memory components. Early P2 cards were manufactured using actual SD memory cards in a striped RAID array. The card can be used to manage the data files, and it even does a write-verification step for every byte of memory that gets written to the card, thus assuring fault-free operation.
P2 cards include microcomputers with their own processors, firmware, a RAID controller and zero-fault, solid-state memory chips. The P2 card is reusable, up to roughly 1000 times, and connects with laptops and nonlinear editing systems via a special adapter or a Panasonic P2 player hooked up to a computer. We’re already achieving a greater throughput than the PCMCIA spec is getting.”įacchini added, “It doesn’t mean that the format will never change, but it won't change unless there’s a reason for it to change.”Įach P2 card consists of four SD memory cards, packaged in a die-cast frame that weighs 0.099lbs and offers four times the capacity and four times the transfer speed of a single SD card. “We now have adapters going to USB 3.0, and we see that as the way for customers to keep up with the changes in PCs. “We’re committed to the large number of customers out there with cameras with PCMCIA slots in them,” said Mike Bergeron, technical liaison for third-party partnerships at Panasonic.
