Recording and Playback: How to handle data recorded on P2 cards
Recording and Playback
The P2 card is a semiconductor memory card that is used as the recording medium in the professional video production and
broadcasting devices that make up the DVCPRO P2 Series.
Since data recorded in the DVCPRO P2 format or AVC-
Intra are in a file format, they have excellent compatibility
with PCs. The file structure is a unique format, which in
addition to video and audio data in MXF files contains
various other important information items. The folder
structure links the data as shown on the right.
Changing or deleting just one information component
could make it impossible to recognize the data as P2 data
or use the card in a P2 device.
When transferring data from a P2 card to a PC, or when rewriting data saved on a PC to a P2 card, to prevent data loss be
sure to use the special P2 Viewer software. Download it from the following website.
(Compatible with the Windows Vista, Windows XP and Windows 2000 operating systems.)

When using regular IT tools such as Microsoft Windows Explorer or Apple Finder to transfer data to a PC, follow the
instructions below. However, be sure to use the P2 Viewer when returning data to a P2 card.
Transfer the corresponding CONTENTS folder and LASTCLIP.TXT file together as a set.
Do not transfer individual files from the CONTENTS folder.
When copying, copy the LASTCLIP.TXT file at the same time as the CONTENTS folder.
When transferring multiple P2 cards to a PC, create a folder for each P2 card to prevent clips with the same name from
being overwritten.
Do not delete data from the P2 card.
When formatting a P2 card, be sure to use a P2 device or the P2 Viewer.
