Panasonic 256GB C-Series Express P2 Card

Overview
The new ExpressP2 Card C series offers a reliable and durable solution for professional media recording. Encased in a sturdy metal body with isolation, these cards are resistant to impacts, vibrations, and temperature fluctuations, ensuring reliable performance. With a capacity of up to 512 GB, they have the capability to record 4K/120 fps and 2K/240 fps files continuously, with a maximum data transfer speed of 10 Gbps. The error correction capability, similar to a RAID system, restores sector/page error data that cannot be recovered with ordinary flash memory.

These cards also come with individual serial numbers, bar codes, and write-protect switches, making it easy to manage video production workflow and operations. They are compatible with select Panasonic professional video cameras, including the Cinema VariCam series, and have a superior P2 card connector that can withstand over 30,000 insertion/removal cycles. Please note that older devices may need to be updated to the latest firmware to use the C-series cards, and a free hardware exchange is available for older AU-XPD1 drives.

Reliable recording memory card, encased in a durable metal body with isolation, resists failures from impacts, vibrations, and temperature fluctuations
P2 card connectors are sturdier than consumer media and are rated for 30,000+ insertion / removal cycles
Capacity to record 4K / 120 fps and 2K / 240 fps files continuously, depending on camera, with a potential maximum 10 Gbps data transfer speed, approximately 4 times as fast as a standard P2 card
Error correction capability, equivalent to a RAID system, which restores sector/page error data that typically cannot be recovered with ordinary flash memory
An individual serial number, bar code, and write-protect switch make it easy to manage video production workflow and operations
The AU-XP0512CG with 512 GB capacity enables 4K recording for approx. 180 minutes.*1
The new cards feature an error correction capability equivalent to the RAID system, which restores sector/page error data that cannot be corrected with ordinary flash memory.
The P2 card connector is also clearly superior to that of PC cards, with a durability that enables approximately 30,000 insertion/removal cycles.
The reliability that only a semiconductor memory can offer resists impacts, vibrations, and temperature fluctuations to enable repeated use.
An individual serial number, bar code, and write-protect switch make it easy to manage operations.

* Replacement of B series due to manufacturing change.
* The total card capacity includes space for data management, such as system data, therefore, the actual usable area is less than the capacity indicated on the card. Prior to use, it may be necessary to upgrade the recorder’s firmware and exchange the AU-XPD1 expressP2 Drive hardware (free of charge). For details, please see “Notes when using expressP2 card C series”.
