Introduction
Introduction
The HD-P2 is a compact, lightweight Portable High
Definition Stereo Audio Recorder. It uses standard
Compact Flash memory cards to record in mono or
stereo, 16- or 24-bit, at samples rates from 44.1kHz
to 192kHz. An advanced clocking system is included,
with the ability to chase external timecode and lock to
an outside word clock or video reference signal. The
HD-P2 supports digital and analog audio inputs and
outputs, and has a built-in microphone and speaker.
The HD-P2 records audio as standard Broadcast Wave
Files non-destructively. This means you can record
a file, rewind, and record another file at the same
location without fear of losing the first recording. A
built-in, dynamic Edit Decision List orders file play-
back based on file record times. A file edit screen is
provided for auditioning (and editing) of individual
files.
Supplied accessories
In addition to this manual, the HD-P2 has been packed
with the following:
·
AC adaptor............................................................. 1
·
