Hi,
So you are saying that it used to be faster and now it is getting slower? In general that wouldn’t be a Panasonic problem as there is no software other than that which drives the drive and it is in the firmware. I would follow the suggestions that folks have made here as there is something in the system that is “remembering” something and is causing the delay.
Are you using the P2 Store to reformat the cards? I assume yes but always check.
Keep us posted.

There are 2 versions of the camera, one shoots NTSC and the other does PAL.
Hope that helps,

I would say if all is working then you are probably fine. However at some point I would make the upgrade. Finish your project and then do so. It isn’t critical though.

I would try to run the new firmware download against the card once it is in the PC, see if that makes a difference. If that doesn’t do the trick, find your Panasonic guy and work your problem back through Panasonic.

What are you going to do for GenLock? Or are you using a switcher that is a frame-synchronizer?

[Shane Ross] “Meaning that I can now go get an SD card to format (as the one in the camera has settings so that the HVX matches the Varicam as close as possible) so that I can do the update, then go shoot some things, then test import.”
Shane, you do not need an additional card unless you have the smallest SD card, like 8MBs and it still might fit with the scene files. I have a powerpoint presentation on my SD card that I also have scene files on. The camera only looks at the stuff that is germaine to the function you are asking it to do.

You would need to do a P2 Organize on the Firestore prior to import. Did you do that? Also you didn’t record both MXF and QT at the same time right? So how did you do both? Or did you mean that you did some one way and some the other way?
Thanks,

Try this one:

Cards may not need an upgrade, but if you are having problems then I would cover that base as well.

Hi,
Go to the HVX Resources page on our website, they will link you to both items you want, although right now it looks like the firmware upgrade site for the camera is in Japanese. I have sent an email on this one. The P2 card itself needs to be updated with a PC, sorry, but you can do the camera with a MAC.
To do the camera, once you can read the page again is to downloand and save to an SD card the software that is there. Do not open it. Take the SD card and put into the SD slot on the camera. Put your camera into MCR mode and it will recognize the card and offer a new menu inviting the upgrade. There are instuctions on the site so it shuold be very straight forward. But wait till it is in English again.
Best,
Jan
