Selecting Audio Input Signals And Adjusting Recording Levels - Panasonic AJ-HPX2000 Operating Instructions Manual

Selecting Audio Input Signals and Adjusting
AJ-HPX2000 supports independent 4-channel sound recording in any recording format in HD (1080i or 720P) and SD
(DVCPRO50, DVCPRO, or DV with 480i or 576i) modes.
When the AUDIO SELECT CH1/CH2 switch is positioned at [AUTO], the recording levels for Audio Channels 1 and 2 are
automatically adjusted. To manually adjust the recording levels, position the switch at [MAN]. Note that the recording levels
for Audio Channels 3 and 4 are selected through a menu option.
Notes
Even in HD mode (1080i or 720P), 4-channel sound is recoded on P2 cards.
When SDI input signals or signals input through the DVCPRO/DV connector are recorded, the settings above are
overridden; audio signals from the SDI IN or DVCPRO/DV connector are always recorded.
Selecting Audio Input Signals
The input signals to be recorded on Audio Channels 1, 2,
3, and 4 are selected with the AUDIO IN switch. For more
information, see [Audio (input) Function Section] (page
15).
