  Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers
  Detroit Section Meeting Notice
  November 2005

  DATE: Tuesday, November 8, 2005
  TIME: 7:30 PM
  LOCATION: Roscor Michigan, Inc.
  27280 Haggerty Rd., Suite C-2
  Farmington Hills, Michigan
  (South of 12 Mile)
  (248) 489-0090

  SPEAKER: Mr. Bill Edwards
  Director of Broadcast Sales Development, Panasonic
  Broadcast and Television Systems Company

  SUBJECT: P2 Memory-based Acquisition in HD

  Panasonic’s introduction of P2 was interesting from many perspectives, but
  two of the more noteworthy were the decision not to introduce a companion
  editing system, but rather to announce an effort to partner with existing
  systems, and to promote the fact that the P2 cards were HD ready and that
  HD products would follow shortly. These two threads align because, while
  the original partners supporting P2 were only four (Avid, Quantel,
  Pinnacle and Grass Valley), their ranks have grown to 15, and, as
  Panasonic has announced an HD / SD P2 camcorder “family,” many of them
  have announced synchronized release of NLE support for P2 HD.

  This presentation will discuss the unique attributes of P2 acquisition,
  the inherent advantages of memory-based storage, why it integrates into
  editing systems easily, how HD “fits” into P2, and why the MXF O.P. Atom
  structure makes all this possible. In a word, it’s all about workflow.

  (We’re also hoping BIll will give us an update on the AG-HVX200 P2 DVCPro HD camera.
  No promises made or implied that there could be an actual one to see at this meeting).

  SMPTE Members and guests welcome, no admission charge.
