Web Visitors Can Follow the Iditarod, Now Being Captured With HD P2 Camcorders

Panasonic Broadcast has launched a website that offers close-up coverage of the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race and Panasonic’s P2 HD solid-state memory camcorders in action. This marks the first year that the entire 1,150-mile sled dog race will be recorded in high definition.

Panasonic P2 HD camcorders are recording the teams (each comprised of up to 16 canine athletes and their mushers) during the marathon race, which started in Anchorage on March 4 and will end in Nome 10 to 17 days later. Six video crews equipped with 10 Panasonic P2 HD cameras (the AJ-HPX2000 2/3-inch shoulder-mount and AG-HVX200 handheld) will record the 87 sled dog teams during the race.

At www.panasonic.com/iditarod/ visitors can track the results of the race, view behind-the-scenes video and photos showing the P2 HD products in use, and learn more about the P2 HD products being deployed.
