High Speed and Reliability at a Low Cost
Developed for professional use, the P2 card is a compact solid-
state memory card that offers superior reliability, large capacity,
and high transfer speed. Its outstanding resistance to temperature
fluctuation, vibration and impact makes it the superior choice for
field recording in harsh conditions. The P2 card has passed
insertion/removal tests of more than 30,000 cycles and can be
used many times over a long period.
P2 recorders have no transport mechanism or rotating parts, so
startup is fast, power consumption is low, and maintenance is
reduced. This means both lower costs and less environmental
impact. P2 can reduce production time too. P2 files can be
transferred directly to IT (PC-based) systems, edited with nonlinear
editors and transferred via networks, without digitizing.
P2HD Multi-Format Viewing
Equipped with two P2 card slots and an LCD monitor, P2 Gear lets
you quickly and easily view content on P2 cards. Its multi-format
and multi-codec capabilities mean that you can play back P2 files
of any format recorded with an AG-HVX200 or AG-HPX500
camera-recorder. You can display, play back, and view recordings
in DVCPRO HD, as well as in SD in DVCPRO50, DVCPRO and DV.
P2 Gear also supports 50/60-Hz operation.
*See the table below for details concerning playback formats.
*Seamless playback of multiple clips recorded in different formats is not possible.
SDI and Analog Output
P2 Gear comes equipped to provide SDI output (HD/SD and four
embedded audio channels supported), component and composite
video output, and audio output (CH1/CH2 pin jacks). This makes it
easy to preview recorded images on a large external monitor. In
broadcasting applications, P2 Gear can be used for microwave
feeds from field locations.
Clip Copying and Editing
P2 records a scene as a clip
(file). To play back or delete
a clip, or to check its
metadata (file information)
or add or delete a shot
marker, just select the clip
from the thumbnail display.
P2 Gear also provides a
number of functions that are
convenient in the field,
including:
• Clip Copy: The two card slots let you copy clips from one P2
card to another. Copy only the usable scenes, and you can use the
card's capacity more effectively.
• Thumbnail Image Change: By default, the first image in a clip is
used as the thumbnail. At a desired location within a clip, you can
change the thumbnail to a different image.
• Clip Metadata Edit: A clip's metadata can contain such
information as the camera operator's name, reporter's name and
shooting location. P2 Gear lets you check this information and edit
the text.
• Text Memo: When recording or previewing a clip, you can attach
a memo (similar to a bookmark) at a desired location (up to 100
locations on a frame basis). Later you can display or delete a
memo, or add a new one. The simplified editing function lets you
copy a segment between memos and create a new clip. Text
information can be added to a memo using P2 Gear or a PC (with
P2 Viewer).
• Shot Marker: During or after recording, you can mark each clip
with OK, NG or other designation.
The AG-HPG10 P2 Gear is a small, lightweight, battery-powered P2 HD portable recorder/player that's tough enough
for rugged field work. With two P2 card slots and a 3.5-inch LCD monitor, P2 Gear allows HD/SD multi-format recording
and playback and quick, on-the-spot viewing of P2 content. You can also use P2 Gear for line recording of IEEE 1394
input*, outputting a playback signal to a large monitor, or transferring files to an external hard disk drive or nonlinear
editor. Add a camera-recorder such as the AG-HPX500 or AG-HVX200, and the P2 Gear brings greater speed, mobility
and flexibility to your P2 workflow.
*HD SDI and SDI input are not supported.
