“We can simply adjust the P2 VariCam to
get the outcome we want, whether it’s raw
game action, epic slow motion, generic or
so on,” said Justin Stoll, Associate Director
of Gamecock Productions. “We are also
taking a look at the camcorder’s proxy
data recording, which would let us trans-
mit away footage over a smart phone to a
production assistant at home, who could
be editing B roll while a game is still under-
way.”
Stoll said that the P2’s fast workflow has streamlined
production, especially when a quick turnaround is
requisite.
Led by coach Steve Spurrier, the South Carolina Game-
cocks’ football team is one of the nation’s leading
programs. Its accomplishments include an SEC East
title in 2010, and Final Top-25 rankings in 2000, 2001,
2010 and 2011 (finishing eighth in the final Associated
Press (AP) Poll last season with an 11-2 record).
“We cut the football coaching show after
the Saturday game for Sunday broadcast,
as well as produce a two-and-a-half-
minute sight and sound video for the web
site,” he said. “Especially with our recent
investment in two AJ-PCD35 five-slot P2
drives (which can transfer content from up
to five P2 cards simultaneously), we antici-
pate a three hour or under turnaround for
both shows.”

The University of South Carolina
Gamecocks have made a broad
implementation of Panasonic P2 HD
cameras and recorders for its college
sports teams.
Gamecock Productions is using two
Panasonic’s AJ-HPX2700 P2 HD
VariCam® camcorders to shoot
coaches’ shows for football and
men’s and women’s basketball and
baseball, all of which are likewise
broadcast on Fox Sports South. In a
complete overhaul of production
from tape-based standard-definition
to tapeless high-definition, Game-
cock Productions (the Athletic
Department’s full-scale production
arm) also invested in three AG-
HPX170 P2 HD handheld camcord-
ers, an AJ-HPM200 6-slot P2 Mobile
recorder and AJ-PCD35 five-slot P2
drives. In addition, the Gamecocks’
football team is also using four
AG-HPX370 P2 HD shoulder-mount
camcorders for coaching analysis.
The HPX170s are used for diverse
coverage of the university’s Olympics
sports and support web streaming of
a growing number of sports, includ-
ing men’s and women’s soccer,
volleyball and softball. The
HPX2700s are being deployed for
marketing campaigns, intro videos
for stadium and arena boards, and
