Panasonic Solutions Company announced its AJ-PCD2 single-slot P2 solid-state memory card drive.

According to the statement, joining the company’s growing line of P2 workflow tools, the PCD2, with two USB 2.0 cables supplied, requires no separate power supply for file transfers and offers total compatibility with Mac and Windows desktop and laptop computers.

In contrast to other single-slot offerings, the PCD2 will afford complete flexibility and reliability in addition to being a low-cost solution. Because the PCD2 supports all P2 card sizes, P2 formats and frame rates in HD and SD, storage capacity and compatibility are non-issues. With a 64GB P2 card inserted, the PCD2 can offer immediate access to more than four hours of DVCPRO, two hours of DVCPRO50 or AVC-Intra 50, or more than an hour of DVCPRO HD or AVC-Intra 100 content.
