Is it different that the HVX is writing on a P2 cart system connected to longer life of the head.
Say in other way: is it better for the video head to work with P2 than the tape writing ??

When people refer to "heads" with traditional non-solid state cameras, they are talking about the spinning heads that read and write the magnetic tape.
With P2 cameras, that doesn't apply -- there are no moving parts or wear involved in any of the P2 card I/O, making this a potentially far more reliable system, and eliminating the need for a separate capture/editing deck. The electronics can obviously still fail, but they can do that with a tape-based camera as well.
