AG-MSU10

Mobile Storage Unit

The AG-MSU10 Mobile Storage Unit has a P2 card slot
and an interface box for a solid-state drive (SSD)*1 that
will hold up to 2 TB (terabytes) of data. In addition to its
compact, lightweight, rugged design, it features battery­powered operation for versatile field use. Files recorded
onto a P2 card can be copied onto an SSD at about 4x
normal speed for AVC-Intra 100 contents.*2 It has both
eSATA and USB 2.0 connectors, so files can be easily
transferred by connecting the AG-MSU10 to an external
HDD or PC /Mac. Uploading to a backup or nonlinear
editing system is fast and easy as well. The removable SSD
interface box is also equipped with eSATA and USB 2.0
connectors, so it can be removed from the AG-MSU10 and
connected directly to a PC/Mac.

Special attention to field-based operation is further seen
in features like one-button copying, a clip thumbnail
display on the built-in LCD, and clip-by-clip copying.
The AG-MSU10 contributes to comfortable file-based
P2HD production by increasing speed, efficiency and
reliability.

*1: Use a commercially available removable SSD recommended by

Panasonic. In addition to the removable SSD interface box that comes
with the AG-MSU10 as a standard accessory, an additional
AG-MBX10 can be purchased as an option.

*2: File transfer speed varies depending on the SSD and external HDD

writing speed, transferred files, P2 card version, and other conditions.

normal speed, and about eight times*2 normal speed for files recorded

with an AVC-Intra 50 (video bit rate: approximately 50 Mbps).

*1: Use a commercially available removable SSD that is recommended by Panasonic. In addition to the removable
SSD interface box that comes with the AG-MSU10 as a standard accessory, an additional AG-MBX10 can be
purchased as an option. Do not use Hard Disk Drive instead of SSD. For compatible SSD information, please refer

Backup onto an External HDD with eSATA/USB 2.0

The AG-MSU10 is equipped with eSATA and USB 2.0 interfaces (both Host and
Device). In Host mode, files in the internal P2 card can be copied onto an
external HDD at high speed without a PC /Mac. In Device mode, the AG-MSU10
can be used as an external drive for reading and writing data between a PC,
Mac or nonlinear editing system and a P2 card or SSD.

* In Host mode, reading and writing is only possible with the P2 card. The SSD cannot be used. The P2 card/SSD
can be used in Device mode, but reading and writing with the P2 card is only possible with the USB 2.0 interface.

The Removable SSD Connects Directly to a PC/Mac

The removable SSD interface box is equipped with both eSATA and USB 2.0
connectors. It can be removed from the AG-MSU10 and connected directly to a
PC, Mac or nonlinear editing system for use in Device mode. This enables
flexible operation as a removable media.

* One SSD interface box comes with the AG-MSU10. Additional boxes AG-MBX10 are optionally available.

Single Button Copy and Thumbnail Display

Copying from a P2 card to a built-in SSD can be done swiftly with single­button operation. A clip thumbnail can also be displayed onto the built-in
82 mm (3.2 inches) LCD panel and images can be copied clip by clip.
The condition and status displays enable easy-to-understand operation.

Compact, Lightweight, Robust Design and Battery Drive

The AG-MSU10, which has superb portability features and a compact,
lightweight and robust design, can also be battery driven. The P2 card and SSD
ensure reliable use even in extremely harsh shooting conditions.
