Mounting P2 Cards Using a Panasonic AG-HVX200 Camcorder
You can use a Panasonic AG-HVX200 camcorder as a P2 card reader to mount P2 cards
on the desktop.
To configure a Panasonic AG-HVX200 camcorder as a P2 card reader:
1 Connect one end of a FireWire cable to the corresponding port on the camcorder.
2 Connect the other end of the FireWire cable to a corresponding port on your computer.
3 On the camcorder, do the following:
a Choose Camera mode.
b Press the Menu button.
c Choose the Other Functions menu and then highlight the PC Mode setting.
d Set the PC Mode setting to 1394DEVICE.
e Press the mode button to switch from Camera mode to MCR/VCR mode.
f Press and hold the mode button again for several seconds until the camcorder
screen displays solid blue and the PC/Dub mode light is on.
The P2 cards in the camcorder mount on the desktop in the Finder.
Note: If you have already set the PC Mode setting to 1394DEVICE, you can skip
steps c and d.
Unmounting P2 Cards
To safely remove a P2 card from a P2 device connected to your computer, make sure
you unmount the volume from the desktop in the Finder.
To unmount a P2 card on the desktop, do one of the following:
m In the Log and Transfer window, select the P2 card, then click the Eject button.
m In the Finder, select the mounted P2 card, then choose File > Eject (or press Command-E).
After unmounting the volume, you can remove the card from the P2 device or
PowerBook PC Card slot.
Using Folders with Valid P2 Card Folder Structure
The Log and Transfer window can ingest MXF media from any folder with a valid
Panasonic P2 folder structure. You can create these folders by copying them from
P2 cards and devices to your hard disk. For more information, see “Panasonic P2 Card
Format Specifications” on page 109.
Important: Final Cut Pro only recognizes P2-compliant folders that include the original
media files, the descriptive metadata, and a corresponding set of XML clip files. If you
need to copy the contents of a P2 card to a hard disk, duplicate the contents without
making any changes. Don’t copy only the CONTENTS folder; copy the enclosing folder.
