Recording Voice-Overs; Preparing For Voice-Overs - Panasonic AJ-HPD2500 Operating Instructions Manual

This function allows you to make voice-overs and use them in editing.
Recording can be performed on one or two channels. It is also possible to mix input sound with playback sound.
Voice-overs are displayed on the timeline as an audio event.
◆ NOTE:
• The audio data for a voice-over is written to the P2 card storing the playlist file. Thus the playlist must be saved before audio recording or a
warning will be displayed and recording is disabled.
• A recording of up to 720 minutes can be made at a time.
• Check the remaining space on the P2 card before saving the playlist. Otherwise there may not be enough space for the voice-over recording.
When the P2 becomes full, an error occurs and recording is disabled.
• Setting 24, 60-24 in setup menu No. 25 (SYSTEM FREQ) will disable voice-over recording.
• If the card with the voice-over is not inserted (and the event is indicated in red (X)), the audio event cannot be deleted and a playlist file cannot
be saved.
• The audio channels for audio events created for voice-over recording cannot be switched.
➝ For details on switching audio channels, refer to "Switching audio channels" (page 102).
• Voice-overs cannot be recorded on players other than a P2 card. Select a P2 card as the player before start of recording.
