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. 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 http://pro-av.panasonic.net/ 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 Plus software (downloadable for free, for Windows and Mac) 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 http://pro-av.panasonic.net/en/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 Plus or P2 CMS download and operating requirement information, visit http://pro-av.panasonic.net/. For operating requirements and details of other P2 editing software, visit 
the website of the relevant software manufacturer.

Precautions When Using SDHC/SDXC Memory Cards with the AJ-P2AD1G Memory Card Adapter

•Only the DV, DVCPRO, DVCPRO50, and AVC-Intra50 recording formats can be used when using the Memory Card Adapter on P2 Series products. Memory cards of Class 10 or higher are 

recommended, but recording may not be possible with some cards. •DVCPRO HD and AVC-intra100 cannot be used. •Memory card data capacity must be 4 GB to 128 GB. •Interval Rec, 

One-Shot Rec, Loop Rec, or One-Clip Rec cannot be used. •If the reading performance is insufficient during playback, frames might be skipped (Best-effort playback). •When copying clips 

that extend over two SDHC/SDXC memory cards onto another SDHC/SDXC memory card, the connecting relationship between the cards will not be saved. Under certain conditions, the 

connecting relationship between original and copied SDHC/SDXC memory cards is saved.
