X P2HD AG-HPX500 PRACTICAL GUIDEBOOK Next-generation camcorder media aimed at professionals, including hard disk drives (HDD) and Blu-ray discs (BD) vary in shapes and structures. However, their main advantage is probably that the data on the media used for shooting does not need to be digitized, meaning that it is ready for immediate use in non-linear editing (NLE) systems. Whereas HDD and BD both require specialized input devices (docking stations or dedicated drives), the P2 (Professional
