Audio Recording
When recording on the tape in either HDV or DV standard, you can select to record audio in only two channels or all four channels simultaneously.
HDV
The audio transfer rate is 384 Kbps when recording on 2 channels, and 384 Kbps (192 Kbps / 2 channels) when recording on all 4 channels. The sampling frequency is 48 kHz in all modes.
DV
You can choose to record in 16 bit audio mode (sampling frequency 48 kHz), or 12 bit audio mode (sampling frequency 32 kHz). When recording in 12 bit audio mode, you can further select to record on only 2 channels — leaving two channels free for audio dubbing later; or to record on all 4 channels simultaneously.
