Dubbed the P2 Gear, the 1.1-pound, battery-operated AG-HPG10G allows user to monitor, record, downconvert, and archive P2 footage, while still having access to Panasonic's
intuitive thumbnail viewing interface in a single, small portable unit.
With two P2 card slots and a 3.5-inch 4:3 LCD monitor, the P2 Gear offers on-the-spot
playback and viewing of P2 content in multiple formats (1080i, 720p, 576i and
480i). The heavy-duty, shock-resistant player is equipped with speakers, easy-to-use
controls and professional input/outputs (IEEE 1394, USB 2.0 and HD-SDI) for
essential in-the-field functions including: viewing clips recorded on a P2 card
or the FOCUS FS-100 portable hard drive, copying files to an external hard drive,
outputting a playback signal to a large monitor and backup recording with P2
HD/P2 or tape-based DVCPRO cameras. To expedite workflow, the P2 Gear can be
connected to a Windows PC or Mac and used as P2 card reader for data transfers
into nonlinear editing systems. In addition, it can be connected to a PC or
MAC for baseband monitoring or integrated with conventional tape-based decks
and recorders as a source device without control.
