Panasonic's AJ-HPM200 P2 Mobile is the key workflow tool on any production because its HD-SDI connectivity lets you record from any camera or device in 10-bit, 4:2:2 independent frame AVC-Intra 100, 10-bit /storage efficient AVC-Intra 50, or industry standard DVCPRO HD/50/25 to a P2 card.  Even better, the HPM200 offers long record times, including 8 hrs of 1080/24p, 16 hrs of 720/24p or 6 hours of other master quality HD formats (with six 64GB P2 cards).  In addition, the HPM200 is perfect for on-set shot continuity and HD assist applications, including the ability to review shots in full frame rate playback from P2 cards and disk drives.  
 
With the growth of 3D, there are now new opportunities to record high-quality video from studio cameras and other cameras in 3D rigs, including the Panasonic AK-HC1500G and AK-HC1800N cameras.  These high-quality cameras have an HD-SDI output.  You can use two HPM200s to record two separate 1080p 720p signals for master-quality 3D applications (including genlock and frame-accurate time code).   The HPM200 offers your customer not only the ability to record two separate HD  signals for 3D, but, also as part of a playback system, including the ability to watch full 1920 x 1200 3D on the upcoming Panasonic  BT-3DL2550 25.5-inch 3D LCD production monitor (shipping in September 2010).
