The P2 drive with Super Speed USB 3.0 Interface Boosts Workflows for News and Other Productions

Memory Card Drive "P2drive"

AJ-PCD30

The AJ-PCD30 is a P2 drive with a USB 3.0 interface that connects to a PC's USB 3.0 port and transfers data at 1.5 Gbps or higher.* With a super speed interface, the AJ-PCD30 takes full advantage of the P2 card's speedy read/write performance. It dramatically accelerates file uploading in editing and transmission processes, to improve the workflow for news and other programs, and HD productions in particular. It allows quick, efficient news reporting. Three P2 card slots allow the data from three cards to be simultaneously transmitted to a PC or nonlinear editor. The AJ-PCD30 can be externally connected to a PC or built in to the 5 type bay of a Windows® PC.

*When using multiple E Series P2 cards. The actual transfer rate varies depending on the file being transferred, the system, the application software, the P2 card version and other conditions. If the PC does not have a USB 3.0 interface, data is transferred via USB 2.0. The latest P2 card driver software (downloadable for free) must be installed to read data from or write data to P2 cards.
