Panasonic P2 Memory Cards
AJ-P2C016HG 16GB P2 Card |
Note: P2 is the Panasonic Memory Card Media, shown above, not a codec. DVCPRO is MJPEG type Compression with fixed compression rates. P2 files show as .MXF with the
exception of Thumbnails of the clips in the file system which show as .BMP
images. You convert as necessary into and out of .MXF with optional software applications from many 3rd Party NLE systems, or the .MXF is used by a supporting NLE to read the metadata information as it may apply
to support advanced editing functions.

Featuring three 2/3" high density 2.2 million pixel CCDs, the HPX3000 acquires cinema-quality images in full-raster 1920 x 1080 resolution with 4:2:2 10-bit sampling using the advanced AVC-Intra codec. AVC-Intra, the industry's most advanced compression technology, is a professional intra-frame video codec with bit rates of 50 and 100Mbps, utilizing the High-10 and High-422 profiles of H.264 respectively. AVC-Intra provides high-quality 10-bit intra-frame encoding in two modes: AVC-Intra 100 for full-raster mastering video quality, and AVC-Intra 50 Mbps for DVCPRO HD quality at half the bit rate, thereby doubling the record time on a P2 card. The HPX3000 also records in industry standard DVCPRO HD at 1080 in 24p, 25p, 30p, 50i and 60i and can produce standard definition recordings in DVCPRO 25 and DVCPRO50.
Designed for movie, commercial and TV program production, the HPX3000 combines the ultra reliability of P2 HD solid-state recording with high-end features, including six advanced gamma settings, including Film-Rec mode (made popular by the VariCam), film-like shutter controls, intuitive film camera-like operation. It also features a built-in reverse scan that allows unique setups such as mounting the camera upside down or usage of an ultra prime lens or an anamorphic lens adapter to create a 2.35:1 aspect image.
Five P2 card slots allow for over 6 hours of 1080/24p or 5 hours of 1080/60i, master-quality AVC-Intra 100 record time (with five 64GB P2 cards). Record amounts double with space efficient AVC-Intra 50 recording.
