I Saw WAOH !

I posted about that Nexto drive the other day but I don't understand how it can read P2 or SxS cards as they are not listed in the specs but they show the cards in the picture on the website. Seems a bit shady.

Below is excerpt of mail from Nexto DRIVE.

" To answer your questions:

1. By using a P2 to express card adpater you may insert the P2 card into the Nexto NSV2500. We have a P2 card with adapter here at the booth (C11741) which we are demonstrating

2. With the Browse feature on the Nexto, you can bring to screen thumbnails of each clip. By selecting a clip you can preview it on the 2.4" screen.

3. I will find out about this issue today ( E & A series) and respond this evening

4. Yes the drive is user swappable. The Nexto NSV2500 accepts 2.5" SATA drives and will recognize a drive size upto 2 terrabytes. The units ship with a 1 year warranty which includes the drive enclosed. Please note this warranty is voided if the user changes hard drives during the warranty period. I also want to mention that the Nexto NSV2500 will recognize SATA SSD cards for its internal memory.

Sincerely,

I feel this drive could posibly be a great price saving for all P2 users (if its any cheaper than P2 gear etc ... it should be cox it dont sport fancy features like P2 gear etc)! We dont need to spend mega bucks on P2gear etc. We can use it just like we use other Cf card copiers. i had earlier mentioned about such a possibility of any drive but was not sure if it would do a preview of P2 RAW files. But this amazing drive seem to copy & read & preview all P2 card content.

I am really excited !

Well that's a huge improvement over the last time I saw it. That's pretty awesome, especially if they're saying they have a working model with a P2 card right now.

What would be ten times more awesome is if you didn't have to use the goofy adapter, if they'd just put a PCMCIA slot on the thing in the first place.

But, yeah, heck, this becomes the "new P2 Store"...
 
Hi I am sitting at NAB right now with the NVS2500 about 5 feet away! The answer is "YES"! By using an ExpressCard to CardBus adapter you can copy onto the Nexto. We've done it! And we stopped at Panasonic and A and E both work on Nexto. The price right now is estimated to be $1500.00. The unit is planned to be released in July, 2009.
 
I am with the President now. He says if demand happens there will be a P2 slot in the next gen due out in 2010. Let me know your thoughts
 
Sorry everyone. $1500 for the unit with a 500gig HD. We were getting the TV technology Star 2009 award while I was typing

Well, 2010 is too late cox most of your prospective buyers may have bought what they might use for Data Dump. I gues you guys should plan a P2 based NextoDrive very soon ! It shall only help a faster & greater volume sales.

Can we get a lesser capacity HDD drives as option.
Can we hook any external drive to NextroDrive to allow greater space for p2 card offloading/dumping

If you have pull at Nexto, I totally agree with Big Brother and with what many others are saying. There are no other non-Panasonic solutions on the market for dumping P2 cards besides a laptop. If they made a version of this with a large drive of say 500GB or larger with the PCMCIA slot and a sure fire way to verify files, I think that the product will sell quite well, especially if it is marketed to news orgs, documentarians and event shooters. Even though we have very reasonable P2 card prices, 500GB for $1,500.00 is untouchable with cards.

The Panasonic units are great but many users cannot addord the $4 to $6k needed to purchase one.

This is a great marketing opportunity to sell a lot of units for them.
