Selecting Audio Input Signals and Adjusting

Recording Levels

AJ-HPX2000 supports independent 4-channel sound recording in any recording format in HD (1080i or 720P) and SD (DVCPRO50, DVCPRO, or DV with 480i or 576i) modes.

When the AUDIO SELECT CH1/CH2 switch is positioned at [AUTO], the recording levels for Audio Channels 1 and 2 are automatically adjusted. To manually adjust the recording levels, position the switch at [MAN]. Note that the recording levels for Audio Channels 3 and 4 are selected through a menu option.

‹Notes

zEven in HD mode (1080i or 720P), 4-channel sound is recoded on P2 cards.

zWhen SDI input signals or signals input through the DVCPRO/DV connector are recorded, the settings above are overridden; audio signals from the SDI IN or DVCPRO/DV connector are always recorded.
