Handling P2 Card Recording The P2 card is a semiconductor memory card designed for the DVCPRO P2 series, Panasonic's line of professional video and broadcast equipment. ■ Since the P2 format records data as files, it is ideally suited for PC processing. Video and audio are recorded in the MXF file format while the metadata is stored in the folders with the configuration shown at right. If any of this data is changed or lost, it will not be recognized as P2 data or the P2 card may no longer be possible to use in a P2 device. Drive: \ CONTENTS AUDIO CLIP ICON PROXY VIDEO VOICE LASTCLIP.TXT*1 All these folders are required. *1:This file contains the data for the last clip recorded on a P2 device. ■ To prevent data loss in transferring P2 card data to a PC or write back PC data on a P2 card, use P2Viewer, which can be downloaded from the Web site listed below.

Be sure to use P2 Viewer to write data back to a P2 card. • Process the CONTENTS folder and the LASTCLIP.TXT file together. Do not modify the data below the CONTENTS folder. In copying, be sure to copy both the CONTENTS folder and the LASTCLIP.TXT file together. • When transferring data from multiple P2 cards, create separate folders for each P2 card to prevent overwriting clips with identical names. • Do not delete data on a P2 card. • Be sure to use a P2 device or the P2 Viewer to format P2 cards. 218 For Long and Trouble-Free Operation: Handling P2 Card Recording
