Notes Regarding the Handling of P2 Files Using a PC

Mounting and Transferring Files

The PC must be installed with the included P2 driver in order to recognize, copy and transfer P2 files. This driver is also necessary when using the PC card slot and when handling P2 files 
stored on a hard-disk device, such as P2 store. The included P2 driver is compatible with Windows XP, Windows 2000. For other operating requirements, refer to the P2 installation manual. The 
P2 driver and the P2 installation manual can be downloaded free from a Panasonic website. Visit https://eww.pavc.panasonic.co.jp/pro-av/ and click "P2 Support and Download."

Preview and Nonlinear Editing

To preview (play) P2 files on a PC, it is necessary to install P2 Viewer software (downloadable for free, for Windows only) or P2 CMS content management software (downloadable for free, for both 
Windows and Mac), both from Panasonic, or P2-compatible editing software available from other companies (for details, visit https://eww.pavc.panasonic.co.jp/pro-av/sales_o/p2/partners.html). 
Note that each software places specific requirements on the operating environment, and the operating environment must meet additional requirements to play and edit HD content on Windows PCs 
and Macs. For P2 Viewer or P2 CMS download and operating requirement information, visit https://eww.pavc.panasonic.co.jp/pro-av/. For operating requirements and details of other P2 editing 
software, visit the website of the relevant software manufacturer.
