Sample Rate – 44.1, 48, 88.2, 96, 176.4 or 192 kHz. This can- not be changed once any audio has been recorded into this project. All audio files in a project must be of the same sample rate.

Channels – This sets the record mode. The options are: Mono Left, Mono Right, Mono Summed, and Stereo.

Sample Width – 16 or 24 bits.

Input Source – Analog/Mic or S/PDIF (digital).

Clock Source – Internal, LTC, Video, Word Clock, or S/PDIF. Timecode – Enabled or Disabled.

Timecode Settings – a submenu of timecode param- eters.

Headset Monitoring – Stereo, Mono Left, Mono Right, Mono Summed, or Follow Record Mode (“Channels” field above). Monitoring via the internal speaker follows this setting as well, although Stereo is ren- dered as Mono Summed.

Auto Markers – The HD-P2 can automatically drop markers when an audio input “over” occurs, or when timecode drops out. The field options are: None, Audio Overs, TC Dropout, Both.

Auto Append – This mode, as described previously, is set Yes or No.

Pre-Record– Off or On. When On, the HD-P2 will store the last several seconds of incoming audio when the input monitor is enabled. When REC is pressed, this material is stored to media as well as the fol- lowing audio. This helps you not miss unexpected and important material.

Locator Types – This can limit where the LOCATE keys can position the timeline, to the edge of Files Only, to Markers Only, or to Files and Markers.
