FCP, Avid After Effects and the 32gb P2
If you haven't heard solid state recording devices are here and now! The new 32gb P2 cards are available now and the record times are now worth taking a serious look at. Panasonic's P2 card is a plug-in PC card utilizing ultra-reliable, solid-state memory. The lightweight P2 card consists of four high-performance SD cards, like those used in digital still cameras, packaged in a rugged die-cast frame. It is resistant to impact, vibration, shock, dust and environmental extremes, from intensely hot, humid weather to temperatures below zero. The P2 card is reusable and connects instantly with most laptops and major non-linear editing systems eliminating the digitizing process. The P2 card can also be easily connected to any recently-introduced laptops with the ExpressBus interface via an inexpensive adapter.
Recording time on a single 32GB P2 card:
- 32 minutes in DVCPRO HD or AVC-Intra 100
- 40 minutes AVC-Intra 100 at 1080/24p native
- 80 minutes in DVCPRO HD or AVC-Intra 100 at 720/24p native
