Whether to use P2 or not over XDCAM HD
FAQ from clients about using P2:
Whether to use P2 over XDCAM
I have to say, that on shoots where we don't have a data wrangler (all of them), I've found working with XDCAM discs infinitely better than p2 cards. Offloading several 100mbs p2 cards at the end of the shoot has added sometimes 3hrs to the day. We need to find a better workflow!
I understand this BUT it is different now. This is because P2 is traditionally 100Mb/second but shooting on AVC Intra 50Mb/s is the same data size as XDCAM HD ((50Mb/second), so the data is the same size.
Modern transfer tools such as Nexto DI , work at eSATA speeds and take all of the pain out of the transfer.
You won't suffer any of the problems of close focus of the XF-305 and you won't need an external recorder either.
The BBC's passing of the HPX-250 will make an easier camera available and the new data workflow makes it practical too!
Are there compact P2 Broadcast accepted yet?
The Panasonic AG-HPX250 is BBC approved as of December 2011.

This is the website I read about Prophet Abulele and contacted him to help me get my ex boyfriend back to marry me during the month of june this year and I have come back here to post about him. Prophet Abulele will help you solve your problem no matter what you are going through. My name is PATRICIA from Canada. Posting about a spell caster is very strange to me because I never believed i will be able to say that I was helped by a spell caster in bringing my ex boyfriend back to me after 5 years of no contact. I read about Prophet Abulele from other websites and contacted him to help me and in less than 48 hours my ex boyfriend called me and I was happy that he wants to get back to me. We met on Friday and he proposed to me,... It was the most beautiful ring. Please everyone out here, Contact Prophet Abulele to solve your problem for you and make you happy with your relationship that is hurting you. Love is the best feeling ever experienced. Email Prophet Abulele at prophetabulelehealingtemple@gmail.com or directly on whats App him +2349022406159.
