1 • Four channels of analog audio can be converted to 20-bit digital signals. The converted four channels of digital audio can then be recorded.

• Connecting an HDCA-901 camera adaptor (not supplied) allows the input of four audio channels. This also makes it possible for the HD- SDI signal to be output.

• When connecting the audio cable to AUDIO IN CH-1/CH-2 connectors (XLR 3-pin), the audio signals input to the XLR 3-pin are recorded regardless of the AUDIO IN switch setting. This function is called the XLR connection automatic detection function.

• The AUDIO OUT connector (XLR 5-pin) allows the camcorder to output signals from two channels at the same time (stereo recording).

• The camcorder searches for the most recently recorded cut and records the new cut over it. (RE-TAKE function)

• The camcorder searches for the point most recently recorded on the tape and automatically switches to paused recording mode (rec pause). (End Search function)

• The camcorder can record GPS data with the video data on the tape. (This feature is available when an HKDW-704 GPS UNIT is attached.)
