Panasonic's A Series P2 card is a PCMCIA compatible plug-in card based on ultra-reliable, solid-state memory, integrating four high-performance SD cards like those now used in digital still cameras, and packaged in a rugged, die-cast frame that weighs only 0.099 lbs (45 grams). This convenient card has four times the capacity and four times the transfer speed of a single SD card. The P2 card is reusable and connects instantly with laptops and major non-linear editing systems to eliminate the time-consuming task of digitizing.

The re-usable P2 card is resistant to impact, vibration, shock, dust and environmental extremes including temperature changes.

Features:

• Complies with the Type-II PC Card Standard (Card Bus) for direct plug-in to the PC card slot of laptop PCs (included P2 Driver must be installed).
• The AV data for each cut is recorded as an MXF file.
• Highly reliable solid-state memory resists shock, vibration, and temperature changes.
• Solid-state memory offers withstands 10,000s of rewriting operations.
• An individual serial number, bar code, and write-protect switch ensures strict security.
• Thin PC-card size and ultra-light weight of 45 grams.

Incorporating a newly-developed technology, E Series P2 cards transfer recorded content at even higher speeds (up to 1.2Gbps) than current longer life models (the A Series). Built with an aluminum die cast casing, P2 cards provide superior durability compared to plastic-based memory cards.

The new E Series P2 cards are designed to provide highly reliable content recording over a number of years. When recorded once daily, at full capacity (100%), the cards are reusable for up to five years; when used at half capacity (50%), the cards will continue to record for up to 10 years or longer. A notification is given (in the camcorder’s LCD/viewfinder or the P2 recorder’s display) as the card approaches the end of its life cycle. Details of the card’s remaining usable life cycle ca n also be displayed and tracked on a computer via the P2 formatter software.

Fujifilm's P2 cards come in 16 GB and 32 GB capacities. A single 32 GB card is capable of recording about 64 minutes of HD data (when used with an AVC-Intra compatible device using AVC-Intra 50 compression). The cards can transfer data at speeds as fast as 640 Mbps.*

Shooting in extreme environments can be plagued with problems like condensation from severe temperature changes, vibration or shock. Our P2 cards utilize all the inherent advantages of solid-state memory to protect your quality footage and video work from vibration and shock. Fujifilm P2 cards can be operated in temperatures from -20°C to 60°C and stored at temperatures between -40°C and 80°C. These are true quality specifications developed specifically for professionals who require the utmost in reliability. Fujifilm P2 cards can be rewritten tens of thousands of times, and the connectors, which have passed 30,000-cycle insertion and removal tests, are ruggedly built to withstand repetitive use.

*The maximum transfer speed refers to the P2 card's performance alone. Actual transfer speeds depend on the performance of the bus, operating system, software, and network to which the P2 card is connected.

Maxell P2 memory cards, along with high quality digitalization and excellent HD picture and sound, offer large capacity storage and fast file-based workflow for camera recording, non-linear editing and data transmissions. P2 Cards are also resistant to impact, vibration and environmental extremes of humidity and temperature and can be reused offering long term performance at a cost savings.
