Chapter 3 Recording and Playback 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 DVCPRO P2 format and AVC-Intra record data as files, it is ideally suited for computer processing. The file structure is in a proprietary format that includes audio and video data recorded in the MXF file format as well as various other essential data forming an interrelated folder structure as shown below. Drive:\ CONTENTS AUDIO CLIP ICON PROXY VIDEO VOICE LASTCLIP.TXT.* All these folders are required. * T his file contains the last clip data recorded on a P2 device. NOTE 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. • To prevent data loss in transferring P2 card data to a PC or write back PC data on a P2 card, use P2 Viewer, which can be downloaded from the Web site listed below. (Supported operating systems: Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista) https://eww.pavc.panasonic.co.jp/pro-av/support/ desk/e/index.htm • F ollow the steps below to use general software such as Microsoft Windows Explorer or Apple Finder to transfer the data to a PC. Be sure to use P2 Viewer to write data back to a P2 card. • Treat the CONTENTS folder and the LASTCLIP.TXT file as a unit. • 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. • Format P2 cards only on a P2 card device. 31
