P2 Memory Card Recording Brings the IT Revolution to Video Production Neither tape nor disc, the P2 card is a semiconductor memory device that can hold large amounts of video and audio data. The P2 card's advanced AV technology bring the proven benefits of an IT workflow to broadcasting and video production. Memory card recorders have no drive mechanism, so maintenance costs are much lower. And with their outstanding resistance to impact, vibration, temperature change, dust and other environmental conditions, they offer the high reliability you need in news acquisition and video recording. P2 also transfers data at higher speeds than optical discs or hard drives, so video production is quicker. And P2 files can be transferred as they are - no digitizing required - to nonlinear editors and other network-connectable equipment. With all these advantages, it's no wonder many of the world's leading broadcast stations and video production professionals have already adopted P2. Panasonic P2 equipment has turned in gold-medal performances on the biggest stages - such as the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens and the 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Torino. P2 will be on hand for the next Olympics too, as the official broadcasting equipment for the 2008 Games in Beijing.
