3. A Revolution in Recording with the P2 Card 3-3 P2 Card Recording Functions on the AG-HVX200 Dual Card Slots and Multi-Codec Recording The AG-HVX200 has two P2 card slots, so you can record continuously onto two cards at a time. Choose from a DVCPRO HD, DVCPRO 50, DVCPRO or DV codec, or mix formats on the same card. An 8-GB card lets you record up to 32 minutes in DVCPRO or DV, 16 minutes in DVCPRO 50, or 8 minutes in DVCPRO HD. Recording time can be extended in 720p native mode, to give you 20 minutes of 24pN recording. Hot-swap recording Thanks to the AG-HVX200's two card slots, you can hot-swap P2 cards and have continuous non-stop recording. With multiple cards you can record for hours without interruption. Or, using an AJ-PCS060G, the "P2 Store," external hard drive, you can download recorded files from a P2 card and then initialize it (erasing the files), so it's ready for re-use. Loop recording Using two P2 cards and setting the AG-HVX200 for consecutive overwriting, you can repeatedly re-record during a particular recurring time slot, always maintaining a recording of the most recent period. Unlike video tape, P2 cards need no rewinding. They maximize your time and allow seamless, continuous recording. This makes them especially useful for unattended monitoring. 21
