P2: Region bound?

[EDV]

...or in more clear terms:
Can I buy a P2 card from an NTSC vendor (like amazon.com) and use it in my PAL HVX200 ?
How about using the same P2 card on two different HVXs?
ie. Record 3 minutes of HD NTSC footage on a P2 card, and then use that same P2 card to grab another 4 minutes of HD PAL footage from a PAL HVX200 ?

I'd doubt it would be region coded - no other media like DVD or CD is inherently PAL or NTSC. So you'd have no problem buying a card from one region and using it in another. Combining clips from multiple standards on the same card though, that might cause you some problems. You'd probably get red clips for in-camera playback for all clips that do not match your camera's region, but I'd imagine they can both exist on the card itself.

The cards are format-agnostic and can be used with any P2 equipment and any recording setting.

Yep, I've used my cards on four continents. No region encoding. You can easily mix NTSC/PAL/SD/HD on the same card.

More than that, the cards can be used to store any data of any kind which will fit. :)
