Panasonic ExpressP2 Card (256 GB)

A new generation of P2 solid-state recording media, the expressP2 card, is specifically designed to accommodate high frame rate 1080 HD AVC-ULTRA recording (above 60 fps) as well as 4K capture. Panasonic's new 4K VariCam 35 and 2/3” VariCam HS cameras, both with higher requirements for data handling than prior P2 camcorders, incorporate two expressP2 slots.

The 256GB expressP2 Card (AU-XP0256A) facilitates the 4K VariCam 35's recording of 4K video at frame rates up to 120p, as well as the 2/3” VariCam HS's 1080 HD recording at frame rates to 240 fps. In addition, the new expressP2 card ensures high-speed transfer, high reliability and the writing assurance of all P2 frame rates, formats and codecs. The expressP2 card is the same length and width as a standard P2 card, with 1.5x the thickness.

The expressP2 card offers fast transfer speeds (up to 2.4 Gbps.), and contains a flash memory error correction system, equivalent to a RAID system, to recover from a failure in a sector, page, or entire block. The expressP2 card also features a secure Content Protection System, a self-monitoring system for usage count.
