This month's meeting was at Tampa Digital's new headquarters in Ybor City.

Networking, as always, is a great time to meet professionals, have a great snack and check out meeting location.

Our president, Barry Beinstock, began the meeting by having everyone introduce themselves to the group.

Wes Carr, District Sales Manager for Panasonic brought some of Panasonic’s latest P2 equipment for a close-up look. Pictured here are the AJ-HPM110 Mobile P2 HD Recorder/Player (usually referred to as the “P2 Mobile”) and the HPX500 P2HD Camcorder. For more information about Panasonic HD cameras, go to http://www.panasonic.com/business/provideo/cat_camcorders.asp.

Wes’ slide show guided the attendees through the entire Panasonic “P2 Experience." |
||
 |
||
|
A good mix of technical info and non-technical explanations about compression in general and P2, specifically, answered many questions. |
||
 |
||
|
Wes even demonstrated the durability of P2 cards by tossing one on the concrete floor. I’m not sure if his boss would approve, but the crowd was impressed. |
||
 |
||
|
Wes even showed what the inside of a P2 card looks like… in case anyone wondered!

| Rick Trock from Trock Media Solutions (www.trockmediasolutions.com) helped set up the entire demo and provided some solutions to the issue of archiving footage created by solid state acquisition. Shown here (inset) is the Quantum's LTO-3A which is a data tape solution enhanced for professional video and today’s file-based workflows. The LTO-3 A-Series product is a scalable archive solution that offers 400 GB of removable networked storage and a tape-based file system that is content aware for MXF files. | ||
