Super-Compact, Large Capacity and High Speed P2, which stands for Professional Plug-in, is a compact solid-state memory card designed for professional AV use. Basically, four SD Memory Cards are packaged together to create a single P2 card. When striped as a RAID 0 array, this gives the P2 four times the transfer speed and four times the capacity of a single SD Memory Card. A slim, large-capacity 8-GB*1 P2 card (AJ-P2C008HG) can hold 32 minutes of DVCPRO/DV codec recording yet weighs only about 45 grams. Compliant with PC Card standards (Type II), the P2 card plugs directly into the card slot of a laptop PC.*2 AV data on the card mounts instantly, with each recorded as an MXF file. The data can be used immediately - no digitizing necessary - for nonlinear editing, or it can be transferred over a network. P2 far surpasses all other AV media in transfer speed, too. The P2 cards transfer data is up to 640 Mbps*3, which can greatly speed up production processes. P2 card Recording Time Reference Approx. Recording Time Model Number AJ-P2C004HG AJ-P2C008HG Capacity Indication*1 4 GB 8 GB DVCPRO/DV (Audio 2ch) 16 min. 32 min. DVCPRO 50 (Audio 4ch) 8 min. 16 min. DVCPROHD (1080/60i) 4 min. 8 min.

The P2 card driver operates under Windows XP and Windows 2000. The Mac computer may also use the PCMCIA slot to load in P2 data, providing the correct driver has been installed. *3: This data transfer speed is a theoretical value. The actual data transfer speed varies according to operating conditions and other ancillary devices. *4: Native recording mode. It records only active frames. 18
