							32Recording and PlaybackHow to handle data recorded on P2 cards
The P2 card is a semiconductor memory card that is used as the recording medium in the professional video production 
and broadcasting devices that make up the DVCPRO P2 Series.
zSince data recorded in the DVCPRO P2 format or AVC-
Intra are in a file format, they have excellent compatibility
with PCs. The file structure is a unique format, which in
addition to video and audio data in MXF files contains
various other important information items. The folder
structure links the data as shown on the right.
Changing or deleting just one information component
could make it impossible to recognize the data as P2
data or use the card  in a P2 device
zWhen transferring data from a P2 card to a PC, or when rewriting data saved on a PC to a P2 card, to prevent data loss 
be sure to use the special P2 Viewer software. Download it from the following website. 
(Compatible with the Windows Vista, Windows XP and Windows 2000 operating systems.)
https://eww.pavc.panasonic.co.jp/pro-av/
zWhen using regular IT tools such as Microsoft Windows Explorer or Apple Finder to transfer data to a PC, follow the 
instructions below. However, be sure to use the P2 Viewer when returning data to a P2 card.
ŠTransfer the corresponding CONTENTS folder and LASTCLIP.TXT file together as a set.
Do not transfer individual files from the CONTENTS folder.
When copying, copy the LASTCLIP.TXT file at the same time as the CONTENTS folder.
ŠWhen transferring multiple P2 cards to a PC, create a folder for each P2 card to prevent clips with the same name from
being overwritten.
ŠDo not delete data from the P2 card.
ŠBefore using a P2 card, be sure to format it with a P2 device.

							33Recording and PlaybackBasic Procedures
 Recording and Playback
This section describes the basic procedure for shooting
and recording. Before you embark on a shoot, pre-inspect
your system to ensure that it works properly.
* For directions on inspecting your memory card camera-recorder, see
[Inspections Before Shooting] (page 142).
1Insert a charged battery pack.
2Turn on the POWER switch and ensure that more 
than four segments of the battery-remaining amount 
indication bar are illuminated.
zIf the number of illuminated segments is fewer than
five, first check the battery placement. If placement
is not the problem, replace the battery with a fully
charged one.
3Insert a P2 card and ensure that the P2 CARD 
ACCESS LED stays on in orange or green. Then, 
close the slide-out door.
When more than one P2 card slot contains a P2 card, 
the card in the slot with the lowest number is used 
first. However, regardless of slot number, a P2 card 
inserted later will not be accessed until the other 
cards have been used. 
Example:
If all five slots contain P2 cards, the cards are used in 
order of slot numbers 1
>2>3>4>5. However, if 
the P2 card in Slot 1 is removed and then re-inserted, 
the cards will be used in the following order: 
2
>3>4>5>1.Note that the recording order is retained even if the power
is turned off. When the power is next turned on, the last
card written before powering-down will be the target card.
‹Note
When “SLOT1” is selected for the menu option P.ON REC
SLOT SEL, recording starts from the P2 card inserted in
the smallest slot number, after the power is turned on.
This option is found in the REC FUNCTION screen on the
SYSTEM SETTING page.
When a battery and P2 cards are installed, set the
switches as detailed below, before starting to use your unit.
Setting the switches before shooting and recording
‹Notes
zThe USER MAIN button is factory-set to perform the slot
selection function, which selects the target card from
among several P2 cards.
When a new target P2 card is selected, the appropriate
slot number appears on the P2 card remaining amount
indicator in the viewfinder.
For more information about the indications in the
viewfinder, see [
Viewfinder Status Indication Layout]
(page 69).
zSLOT SEL function is enabled during recording. Until the
P2 card on which images are recorded has been switched
completely, “SLOT SEL” blinks on the viewfinder. If the
“SLOT SEL” operation cannot be executed for any reason,
for instance immediately after starting recording or
switching the P2 card on which images are recorded,
“SLOT SEL INVALID” is displayed.

							35Recording and PlaybackNormal Recording
 Recording and Playback
REC START/STOP button, REC button on the handle or VTR button at the lens starts recording of video and sound on the 
P2 card. A cluster of data that consists of video and sound generated through a shooting action, together with such added 
information as meta data, is called a “clip”.
In the unit, the camera’s recording method is selectable
between the Native recording method with the frame rate
unchanged and the normal recording method pulling the
frame rate down to 59.94 or 50 frames.
Images at 24P (23.98: referred to as 24P) are pulled down
in 2:3 mode. Images at 30P (29.97: referred to as 30P) are
pulled down in 2:2 mode and recorded as 59.94i (referred
to as 60i). Images at 25P are recorded as 50i with 2:2
pulled down. 24PA (2:3:3:2 Advanced Pull down) is
supported as well.
AVC-Intra does not support pull-down recording.
Example of 24P Over 60i
This recording method extracts and records effective
frames at the frame rates of the AVC-Intra recording in
1080i.
Even in Native recording, the rate for outputting camera
images and playback images is 59.94i or 50i that are
pulled down.
Example of 1080-24PN (Native)
‹Notes
zThe recording will start from the top frame of a five-frame
cycle for 24P/24PA recording or a four-frame cycle for
24P native recording, respectively. Therefore, the time
code may be discontinued when recording clips
continuously in different modes during the recording
cycle.
zEven if a P2 card has just been inserted, or the power
has been just turned on, you can start recording using
the internal memory of camera-recorder. In this case,
recording cannot be stopped until the P2 card is
recognised. If the inserted card is not recognized as a
recordable P2 card, the record in internal memory is
instantly discarded, and the message “CANNOT REC”
message is displayed on the viewfinder. Press the
MODE CHECK button to check P2 card status
(displayed in viewfinder).

							36Recording and PlaybackPRE-RECORDING function
The internal memory of your unit is capable of storing
several seconds of video and sound data coming from the
camera. This capability can be used to record video and
sound several seconds before either the REC START/
STOP button, REC button on the handle or VTR button at
the lens is pressed to start recording. To use this function,
the menu option PRE REC MODE must be set to “ON”.
The storage duration of the internal memory can be set
from the menu option PRE REC TIME. PRE REC MODE
and PRE REC TIME menu options can be found in the
REC FUNCTION screen on the SYSTEM SETTING page.
The function of the menu option PRE REC MODE may be
assigned to a desired user button by using any one of the
menu options USER MAIN SW, USER1 SW, or USER2 SW.
These options can be found in the USER SW screen,
which is accessible from the CAM OPERATION page.
These are the options for PRE REC TIME.
Specify the duration for which data may be recorded
before either the REC START/STOP button, REC button
on the handle or VTR button at the lens is pressed.
‹Notes
z“P-REC” indication when the “PRE REC MODE”
menu option is set to OFF
After recording is stopped, the “P-REC” indication
