(Panasonic Australia has) been successful in securing a three year contract to supply the Australian Broadcasting Corporation with P2 solid-state equipment for their News and Current Affairs acquisition requirements. The contract was signed on Wednesday between the ABC and Panasonic Australia to supply over $4,500,000 worth of P2 product. The signing ends a thorough and exhaustive nine month tender and evaluation process in which the ABC considered options from Sony, Thomson Grass Valley and Panasonic.The roll out of P2 product begins in February and will take 4 months to deliver 89 AJ-SPX900 cameras to all ABC sites around Australia and their many overseas bureaux. Numerous AJ-SPD850 P2 decks, AJ-HPM100E P2 Mobiles, AJ-PCS060 P2 Stores and other accessories will also be supplied as part of the contract.
This contract represents one of the largest single purchases of Broadcast P2 equipment in the world. Together with the recent adoption of P2 in the US by the Fox Network for their 35 company owned stations means that P2 will continue to make significant inroads into worldwide Broadcast markets as is has done for the past three years. Panasonic is proud to enter into a partnership with the ABC for this major roll out of P2 product in Australia.
The hand held AG-HVX202 continues to be an outstanding success locally and around the world. Its release saw the introduction of HD to the P2 line up. Sales trends show little sign of a downturn as the camera continues to be adopted by many new users who are taking advantage of the many benefits offered by the P2 solid-state workflow.
