Works like a charm especially with creating Virtual P2 cards on your media drives to keep thee assets organised.
The only thing to be aware of is that if you insert a P2 card and already have the media stored in a Virtual P2 card or have copied it to your Avid MediaFiles folder, the system will either continually scaan the card or it will not show the mediaa clips. This is becuase it gets a bit confused when it sees two clips with the same MOB ID.

What you could think of using would be the ability to create Virtual P2 cards. This can be done using the Panasonic P2 Viewer software.
Essentailly what the software does is allow you to copy an image of a P2 card to a folder on your computer media drive. Thi image can be of any size and can therefore contain more than 1 P2 card. You can also create multiple Virtual P2 cards so this is how you organise your media.
Once you have created these drives you can directly mount them from your Avid as though they were actual P2 cards. The way to get the Avid to recognise them is to use the Windows SUBST command to map the folder to a virtual hard drive.
Hope this helps,

I for one would be very uneasy in offloading my valuable rushes onto a store which is not very robust and unlikely to fail. The P2 store is built in a similar manner to the Panasonic Toughbook laptops and I believe has 2 mirrored hard drives.

I’m not sure that you can mix the formats on a P2 card. I was testing out a pre-release AG-HVX200 and had problems trying to record HD media on cards already containing SD media.
