Before Use

zWhile AJ-PCD30 (referred to below as “the

device”) is connected to the personal

computer, install the required drivers from the

CD-ROM.

For details, refer to the installation manual in

the Manuals folder on the CD-ROM and “P2

USB Driver” (page 16) in this manual.

zThe device may become warm during use, but

this is not a malfunction.

zWhen the device is used internally, it may be

necessary to connect the device with part of

the USB cable passing outside your PC. In this

case, be sure sufficient space behind the PC

that is to contain the device.

Overview

The device is a P2 card-dedicated data transfer device with a USB 3.0 interface and a 3 slot drive for

writing and reading P2 content to and from P2 cards using the USB 3.0/2.0 connection in a Windows

PC or Macintosh.

The device is capable of making high-speed transfers of clip data shot with a memory card camera

recorder for P2 cards to a personal computer (Windows/Macintosh).

This device supports not only the transferring and copying of clips recorded on P2 cards, but also direct

editing.

Features

zIt is capable of high speed data transfer of

over 1.5 Gbps*1.

zIt can be used as either an external or an

internal drive. (only Windows)

zSupports both Windows and Macintosh

operating systems.

zThe device can also be connected to a

USB 2.0 Windows PC/Macintosh.

zUp to 2 devices may be connected to a single

PC.*2 *3

zA memory card adapter (AJ-P2AD1) can be

used.

This feature is supported with firmware

version 2.00 or later of the device.

For the latest information on firmware, visit

the following Web site.

http://pro-av.panasonic.net/

*1 This is the transfer speed using the multiple P2 card E series over the USB 3.0 connection.This will vary according

to conditions such as the type of file being transferred, the system, the application software, and the version and

the number of the P2 card.

*2 Connect the USB terminal of the device to your computer using the PC USB port. If the USB terminal of the device

is connected to a USB terminal hub then errors may occur, such as the computer not recognizing the device, or not

applying the necessary drivers. (We cannot guarantee proper operation of the device when connected to a USB hub.)

*3 When using a Macintosh with 2 of the devices connected, or with the device and at least two other P2 drive

connected, avoid duplication among the volume labels of the P2 cards.

Correct operation cannot be guaranteed if the volume labels are duplicated or left without being set (“NO NAME”is

displayed).
