• 1pm – Panasonic Solid State Evolution: From P2 to AVCCAM and Beyond
  Presented by Panasonic
  Codecs really do make a difference.  There is no longer any reason to shoot any production on tape or MPEG-2. If you are still shooting Standard Def, now is the time to step up to Hi-Def.  If you are shooting HD on tape, now is the time to change to solid state.  This presentation will explain the present confused state of HD, and where it is all headed which is not tape based or MPEG-2
  We will demonstrate the features of the new Panasonic line of AVCCAM and P2 camcorders.  These cameras capture stunning images using the DVCProHD codec and the AVCHD codec, which is MPEG-4 H.264.  This codec is far superior to MPEG-2 and we will show you why.  The media is inexpensive and widely available SDHC memory cards. We will discuss and demonstrate the workflow from acquisition, to post and finally to archive.
  AVCHD capture opens the door to a variety of distribution and display options including projectors, monitors, Playstation, Blu-ray, and DVD.   iPhone, YouTube and the web are literally just a couple of clicks away.   We will also discuss how AVCCAM products interface and differ from Panasonic P2 products and how you should base your decision on which product to use.  Come and find out how easy it is to go tape-less HD!
