The P2 card is a semiconductor memory card that is used as the recording medium in the professional
video production and broadcasting devices that make up the DVCPRO P2 Series.

■

Since data recorded in the DVCPRO P2 format or AVC-
Intra are in a file format, they have excellent compatibility
with PCs. The file structure is a unique format, which in
addition to video and audio data in MXF files contains
various other important information items. The folder
structure links the data as shown on the right.

Device:\

CONTENTS

AUDIO
CLIP
ICON
PROXY
VIDEO
VOICE

LASTCLIP.TXT*

All these folders are required.
* This is the file in which the information 

on the final clip that was recorded with 

the P2 device is written.

When transferring data from a P2 card to a PC, or when rewriting data saved on a PC to a P2 card, to
prevent data loss be sure to use the special P2 Viewer software. Download it from the following website.
You can also visit the support desk at the following website for details on the system requirements of P2
Viewer.

■

When using regular IT tools such as Microsoft Windows Explorer or Apple Finder to transfer data to a
PC, follow the instructions below.
However, be sure to use the P2 Viewer when returning data to a P2 card.

• Transfer the corresponding CONTENTS folder and LASTCLIP.TXT file together as a set.
• Do not transfer individual files from the CONTENTS folder.
• When copying, copy the LASTCLIP.TXT file at the same time as the CONTENTS folder.
• When transferring multiple P2 cards to a PC, create a folder for each P2 card to prevent clips with the

same name from being overwritten.

• Do not delete data from the P2 card.
• Before using a P2 card, be sure to format it with a P2 device.
