•For wi reless L AN connec tion: The optional wireless module is required. For the OS, browser, device compatibility information, see “Service and Support” on the Panasonic website <https:// pro-av.panasonic.net/>. Some functions are not supported by some devices.
•For st reaming : PC must be able to access directly each other by Public IP (Global IP). Please contact your provider to get Public IP (Global IP).
Notes r egarding t he handling of p 2 files using a PC Mounting and Transferring Files
The PC must be installed with the included P2 driver in order to recognize, copy and transfer P2 files. This driver is also necessary when using the PC card slot and when handling P2 files stored on a hard-disk device, such as P2 store. For other operating requirements, refer to the P2 installation manual. The P2 driver and the P2 installation manual can be downloaded free from a Panasonic website. Visit <https://pro-av.panasonic.net/en/download/>
Previe w and Nonline ar Editing
To preview (play) P2 files on a PC, it is necessary to install P2 Viewer Plus software (downloadable for free, for Windows and Mac), both from Panasonic, or P2-compatible editing software available from other companies (for details, visit <https://pro-av.panasonic.net/en/sales_o/p2/partners.html>). Note that each software places specific requirements on the operating environment, and the operating environment must meet additional requirements to play and edit HD content on Windows PCs and Macs. For P2 Viewer Plus download and operating requirement information, visit <https://pro-av.panasonic.net/en/download/>. For operating requirements and details of other P2 editing software, visit the website of the relevant software manufacturer.
Note Regarding 24 bit Audio
Clips recorded using 24 bit audio must be played back with 24 bit compatible P2 equipment or the P2 Viewer/P2 Viewer Plus. If clips are played back with equipment not compatible with 24 bit audio, the clip number will be indicated in red and the clips will not be played back. A P2 Viewer not compatible with 24 bit audio will not reproduce the sound properly. To play back those clips, use the latest version of P2 Viewer/P2 Viewer Plus. For the latest information on 24 bit compatible P2 equipment and P2 Viewer/P2 Viewer Plus, see “Support & Download” on the Panasonic website <https://pro-av.panasonic.net/>.
