TOPIC!
You can combine data shot using a P2HD in a camera such as the AG-HPX502 and
HDV data shot using an HDV camera on the same timeline in a non-linear editing
system. P2 system HD data is recorded using the DVCPRO HD codec while HDV
data is recorded using the MPEG-2@TS codec. As such, since the data types are
completely different, you need to implement rendering the data to combine editing
data on the same timeline.
