About P2 HD products
P2 HD solid-state products offer the possibility of high-definition recording without mechanical wear and environment-related limitations as are typical for tape, hard disk and optical disk-based systems. P2 HD guarantees extreme reliability, especially in demanding conditions of extreme temperature ranges, impacts and vibration. P2 HD products bring significantly lower maintenance costs, longer operating life, and instant access to video recordings (without the need for digitisation, filing to memory with descriptors for later search or any need to create proxy video files) and to metadata. P2 HD offers the reliability of production based on solid-state technology, instant possibility for connection with existing IT infrastructure, as well as speed, ease of use and portability of P2 cards, as well as compatibility with top-end non-linear editing systems.
