high-definition stereo recorder, Firewire  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 Recording time
