Let me say that again, NIGHTMARISHLY BAD.

If anyone's ever worked with data for a living, they know that the idea of capturing the controller for a RAID inside the storage device itself is a nightmarishly bad idea. Panasonic has also announced two new products with built-in microP2 slots: the AJ-PX5000 P2 HD camcorder and the AJ-PD500 half-rack recorder. However, it may not work with some of the earlier models. Now, as far as backwards compatibility, Mike Bergeron from Panasonic says that for many of the later cameras (he mentions the HPX250) will be able to use the new cards with the adapter.

A firmware upgrade - if you're using current P2 hardware - is needed in order to use the card adapter. The microP2 drive has a USB 3.0 interface for faster transfer speeds. With an SD card form factor, the MicroP2 cards will ensure high-speed transfer, high reliability and the writing assurance of all P2 frame rates, formats and codecs. Furthering the versatility of the microP2 card adapter and microP2 card slots, their design allows Class 10 SDHC/SDXC cards (at bit rates only up to 50Mbps)to be used in P2 products.Īccording to Panasonic, 'the microP2 card's double-layered UHS-II interface fascilitates transfer speeds of 2.0 Gpbs (1.7 times faster than standard P2 media, and 12x faster than ordinary SD media).' Not only that, but Panasonic's partnership with cloud video production platform, Aframe, resulted in Panasonic's Production Network (PPN), which allows professionals to upload and view high-quality video from the cloud server.
