Panasonic announced a versatile new Camcorder Studio System that supports a range of P2 HD and DVCPRO HD camcorders, including the new AG-HPX300, and serves as a flexible, low cost solution for HD studio production. Available this October, the Camcorder Studio System teams with Panasonic’s popular camcorders to offer high-quality digital signal transmission at up to 328 feet, full remote camera control and a range of professional features. The studio system is compatible with the following camcorder models: the AG-HPX300, AG-HPX500, the AJ-HPX2000, AJ-HPX3000, VariCam 2700 (AJ-HPX2700) and VariCam 3700 (AJ-HPX3700) models, AJ-HDX400 and the AJ-HDX900.

Panasonic’s AJ-PCD35 lets you plug in up to five P2 cards and conveniently transfer all their footage to your desktop computer. Of course, a five card P2 reader isn’t exactly a new concept. Panasonic has sold two earlier models over the years. But the PCD35 is the first to transfer data amazingly fast, offloading footage roughly five times faster than card readers of yesteryear. The PCD35 achieves its speed demon status because it attaches to your desktop computer via an included PCIe expansion card and PCIe cable, which is much faster than typical USB 2 or FireWire 800 connections. I knew I wasn’t in Kansas anymore when I copied a single 32GB P2 card (from Panasonic’s new Eseries) to my desktop Mac, using both the PCD35 and Panasonic’s previous-generation PCD20 reader. Using FireWire 800, the PCD20 transferred the 32G card in 19 minutes, 23 seconds, but the PCD35 copied the same card in just 4 minutes. Read more of this article at Studiodaily.
