Handling the data recorded on P cards
“P2 cards” are semiconductor memory cards which have been adopted as the recording media for the
“DVCPRO P2 series” of professional-use video production and broadcast equipment.
The data recorded on the P2 card (P2 data) is
in a file format which is highly compatible with
personal computers. The data file structure
has its own format, the files contain not only
the video and audio data which are converted
into MXF files but various other important
information, and the data is associated in the
folder configuration shown on the right.
Changing or deleting some of this
information may result in trouble: for
instance, it may make it impossible for the
data to be recognized as P data or for the
cards to be used in P devices.
Drive:\
All of these folders are needed.
*
Saved in this file is the information of the last
clip recorded by the P2 device.
In order to prevent any of the information from being lost when transferring the data on a P2 card to
a personal computer or writing the data stored in a personal computer onto a P2 card, be absolutely
sure to download the dedicated software, “P2 viewer” or “P2 content management software” from the
following web site and use it for this purpose.
(For supporting OS, refer to the following web site as well.)

When transferring data to a personal computer using a regular IT tool such as Microsoft Windows
Explorer or Apple Finder, proceed as follows.
To return the data to the P2 card, be absolutely sure to use the “P2 viewer” or “P2 content management
software”.
Transfer the data together with the CONTENTS folder and LASTCLIP.TXT file.
Do not perform any operations for the files under the CONTENTS folder.
When copying data, copy the LASTCLIP.TXT file together with the CONTENTS folder.
When transferring the data on a multiple number of P2 cards to a personal computer, create the
folder for each P2 card in order to prevent the same clip names from being overwritten.
Do not delete the data on P2 cards.
P2 cards must always be formatted using a P2 device prior to use.
