Shoot to a P2 Card and hard drive at the same time

[Noah Kadner]

AFAIK the firewire and P2 outputs can both shoot at the same time but I’m sure someone else will jump in if that’s not the case. Kind of overkill though. If you have enough P2 cards to match the same amount of Firestore storage just shoot P2. They are pretty hard to throw off.

The only time you cannot record to both is when recording in 720p PN modes. Firewire does not support anything that is not “over 60.” Everything else works fine, all 1080 and SD settings as well as the other 720P settings.

Sometimes overkill is nice 🙂 !

Hi,
My SPX800 can record to Firewire and cards at same time. or as needed I shoot to my FW connected Nnovia HDD with no cards in the camera, the pana sends time code to the HDD and it records no problems.
only set back is that HDD firmware won’t allow any resolutions above DV, I should have bought the Firestore, Nnovia support is abismal, Firestore were not out when I bought the Nnovia.
cheers
