• Four channels of analog audio can be converted to 20-bit digital
signals. The converted four channels of digital audio can then be
recorded.
• Connecting an HDCA-901 camera adaptor (not supplied) allows the
input of four audio channels. This also makes it possible for the HD-
SDI signal to be output.
• When connecting the audio cable to AUDIO IN CH-1/CH-2 connectors
(XLR 3-pin), the audio signals input to the XLR 3-pin are recorded
regardless of the AUDIO IN switch setting. This function is called the
XLR connection automatic detection function.
• The AUDIO OUT connector (XLR 5-pin) allows the camcorder to
output signals from two channels at the same time (stereo recording).
• The camcorder searches for the most recently recorded cut and records
the new cut over it. (RE-TAKE function)
• The camcorder searches for the point most recently recorded on the
tape and automatically switches to paused recording mode (rec pause).
(End Search function)
• The camcorder can record GPS data with the video data on the tape.
(This feature is available when an HKDW-704 GPS UNIT is attached.)
