Handling P2 Card Data - Panasonic AG-MSU10 Operating Instructions Manual

The P2 card is a semiconductor memory card designed for the P2 HD series, Panasonic's line of professional
video and broadcast equipment.
 Since the P2 format records data as files, it is
ideally suited for computer processing. Video
and audio are recorded in the MXF file format
while the metadata (XML) is stored in the folders
with the configuration shown at right.
If any of this data is changed or lost, it will not
be recognized as P2 data or the P2 card may
no longer be possible to use in a P2 device.
 To prevent data loss when transferring the data stored on a P2 card to a PC, or transferring the data on a
PC back to a P2 card, use P2 Viewer (software exclusively designed for managing P2 card data), which
can be downloaded from the following website.

 Follow the steps below to use general IT tools such as Microsoft Windows Explorer or Apple Finder to
transfer the data to a PC. Be sure to use P2 Viewer to write data back to a P2 card.
• Process the CONTENTS folder and the LASTCLIP.TXT file together.
Do not modify the data below the CONTENTS folder.
In copying, be sure to copy both the CONTENTS folder and the LASTCLIP.TXT file together.
• When transferring data from multiple P2 cards, create separate folders for each P2 card to prevent
overwriting clips with identical names.
• Do not delete data on a P2 card.
• Be sure to use a P2 device or the P2 Viewer to format P2 cards.
