The Panasonic P2HD Series continues to lead the way toward file-based broadcasting and image production applications. Based on

the new concept of "Expandable and Upgradable," the series features networking functions that allow it to link with smartphones

and tablet devices for direct network connection, and cine-like image production functions like slow- and quick-motion shooting.

allows a consistent, file-based workflow — from high-speed transfer to editing, searching and archiving. The P2HD Series also

helps to conserve the environment in ways that only a memory-card recorder can do, because it requires no transport mechanism,

has low power consumption, and enables repeated reuse of the P2 card.

The P2 card's rugged specifications ensure reliable

The absence of a transport mechanism and the

ability to achieve file-based image acquisition —

made possible by solid-state memory — speed up
