The AG-HPG20 is a P2 portable recorder that records HD images with an AVC-Intra codec. It features a rugged body, two P2 card slots, a 3.5” LCD 
monitor and HD/SD multi-format recording. Its HD/SD SDI interface enables versatile line recording, and a USB 2.0 interface makes it easy to backup 
data onto an external hard-disk drive. A new HDD Preview* function also lets you preview P2 content stored on a hard-disk drive. These and other 
features allow the AG-HPG20 to handle a wide range of applications, including HD field recording; high-quality, large-screen playback, and easy file 
transfers to a hard-disk drive or PC-based nonlinear editor.

P2 Memory Card Recorder: Lower Operating Costs, Better for the Environment

P2 Reduces Total Cost of Ownership

(1) Faster, easier editing because digitization is not necessary

(2) Lower media costs because memory cards are reusable

(3) Lower maintenance costs because there is no moving  

mechanism

 

Reducing editing, media and maintenance 

costs, P2 can help improve your bottom line. 

Users can also take advantage of a special five-

year free-repair service program that Panasonic 

offers for P2 HD equipment.

The P2 Card Helps Preserve the Environment:  

Repeated Reusability and Low Power Consumption

Allowing repeated file copying and initialization, 

a single P2 card can be used and re-used, again 

and again. When combined with an IT-based 

workflow that requires no dubbing, P2 cards 

can greatly reduce storage media expenses. 

And because a memory card recorder has no 

moving mechanism, it uses less power. For 

example, the AG-HPG20 uses about 95% less 

power than the tape-based AJ-HD3700 

recorder.
