Panasonic AJ-P2C016RG

The 16GB P2 solid state memory card offers recording capacity comparable to and often greater than tape and disc-based media, but with no-moving-parts reliability and the benefits of an IT file-based workflow.

Panasonic's 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.

Recording time on a single 16GB P2 card:

• 16 minutes in DVCPRO HD
• 40 minutes in DVCPRO HD at 24pN
• 32 minutes in DVCPRO50
• 64 minutes in DVCPRO
