Re-usable P2 cards record the same way that digital still cameras record onto memory cards – they store the footage as pre-digitized computer files. Instead of recording the video as “video data,” they record the footage as computer data files. These files are instantly editable and can be transferred to other computer storage media directly, without the restrictions of needing proprietary video decks or having to wait for real-time transfers.
The lightweight P2 card consists of four high-performance SD cards, like those used in digital still cameras, packaged in a rugged die-cast frame. It is resistant to impact, vibration, shock, dust and environmental extremes, from intensely hot, humid weather to temperatures below zero. The P2 card is reusable and connects instantly with most laptops and major non-linear editing systems eliminating the digitizing process. The P2 card can also be easily connected to any recently-introduced laptops with the ExpressBus interface via an inexpensive adapter.
