Will a P2 card hold 8-10 hours of footage
Hello everyone, I am shooting a multicam proformance with 2 DVX 100a’s and a HVX 200. The show consist of 32 individual proformances @ 10-15 min. each. Thats roughly 8-10 hours of footage per camera. 1st question is there a P2 card that will hold that much info and if so where can I rent one from. For the DVX’s what should I look into renting to record all of the footage onto. I am trying to find the best solution so that I do not have to digitize 30 hours of tape again this time around. 3rd question are the P2 cards and FIrestores dependable? And if going that route, should I backup each camera by recording onto tape at the same time, just to be safe?
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks Bobby

Not even close. P2 cards max at 20 minutes of 720p24pn in High Def. You would need to use a P2 store- or really that plus a Laptop to offload.

I take it you would use the HVX200 in dv mode but just a reminder it is a 16:9 camera and the DVX100’s are 4:3 format. I have no experience with firestores but they have been around for some time and should work for the dvx’s. I’m not sure if you can use an SD firestore with the HVX200 or not, or if it only works with the dedicated model (firestore 100)
