Panasonic Aims High (Def) With P2

摘要

Panasonic's HD version of its P2 solid-state recording camcorder, a small palmcorder that was on display at NAB in the form of a mockup, may not be available yet, but it has already found some believers. Seventeen stations and a major production-gear rental house are among the first to take the plunge into tapeless HD recording. "This provides a great transitional tool for stations that don't know when they will go HD for news," says John Baisley, president, Panasonic's broadcast and television systems. "There's been a lot more talk about HD news than even we thought there would be, and the one thing I've heard from customers is the manufacturer that helps with the transition to HD news is the one they'll go with."
