Torino Olympic Games selects Panasonic DVCPRO P2 solid-state cameras

Panasonic has announced that the Torino Winter Olympic Games 2006 has selected Panasonic as its supplier of standard and high definition recording equipment.
According to the agreement, Panasonic DVCPRO P2 solid-state memory as well as DVCPRO HD and DVCPRO50 recording equipment will be used.
Since they have no moving parts and record on solid-state P2 cards, Panasonic DVCPRO P2 camcorders are reliable and resistant to extreme weather, which make them an ideal choice for the possibly severe weather of the Winter Games.
Panasonic’s video equipment will be used during the 2006 Games at the International Broadcasting Centre and throughout the various athletic venues.
Panasonic supplied broadcast video equipment and maintenance support to the host broadcaster during the Barcelona’92, Atlanta’96, Nagano ’98, Sydney 2000, Salt Lake City 2002 and has provided similar services for the Olympic Games in Athens, Greece, last summer.
