larger size


Euro 1.320,00


The HD-P2 is a professional solution for the challenging requirements of live and on-location applications.
It writes uncompressed Broadcast Wave audio files at up to 192-kHz/24-bit resolution
for audiophile quality to Compact Flash or Micro Drive media.
Files are instantly available through the built-in high-speed FireWire computer connection
and can be loaded into DAW projects
.


Recording

* Portable high-definition stereo recorder
o Ideal for electronic news gathering and other high-quality recording tasks in the field
* Recording media: Compact Flash, Micro Drive
o Reliable, easily obtainable media for quick and easy audio transfer to computers (via CF card reader)
* 16- or 24-bit recording resolution at sample rates from 44.1 kHz through 192 kHz
o Produce state-of-the-art recordings at standard or high resolutions compatible with CD, SACD and DVD audio
* Uncompressed, time-stamped Broadcast Wave file format
o Is easily imported into DAW software and spotted into projects with sample accuracy
* Pre-Record Cache
o Permanently stores the last 5 or 10 seconds (selectable) when in Record Ready to even capture audio events happening before actually starting the recording (can be disabled)
* Retake function
o Allows user to re-do last recording with a single button press
* Audio files continually re-saved
o To safeguard against data loss
* Comprehensive system and transport control
o From the front panel or a PS/2 keyboard


Inputs and Outputs

* Balanced XLR mic inputs with phantom power, 20-dB PAD, and analogue peak limiter
o Connect two dynamic or condenser microphones, PAD reduces input level when recording from high sound pressure sources, limiter guards against unpredictable overloads
* Low-cut filter on each analogue input
o Reduces low-frequency noise (impact, rumble, hum, wind etc.)
* Unbalanced stereo line input (RCA)
o Record directly from any stereo line level source (mixer etc.)
* Unbalanced stereo line output (RCA)
o Use HD-P2 as playback source; transfer your recordings to analogue equipment
* SPDIF digital input and output (coaxial)
o Record from digital sources, transfer your recordings digitally to any mixer, recorder etc.
* Headphone output (6.3-mm stereo jack)
o Monitor recordings with studio headphones
* Built-in mono microphone and speaker
o For desktop interview applications
* FireWire port for connection with computer
o Easy and fast file transfer to PC or Mac
* Analogue level controls
o Allow easy operation without the need to look at the unit


Synchronization

* SMPTE/LTC timecode input on locking XLR balanced jack
o Timestamps Broadcast Wave recordings from SMPTE input
* Chase locks to incoming SMPTE timecode
* Video clock input
o Resolves to house clock
* Tri-level sync support
o For HDTV applications
* Includes Frame Lock, Lock and Release and flexible Freewheel settings for unpredictable timecode sources
* Pull-up and Pull-down sample rates included
o For video format compatibility

Runs on eight AA batteries (Alkaline, NiMH or NiCd) or DC power adapter
* Approximately 5.5 hours of operating time on battery power
