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.
