TASCAM HD-P2 Owner's Manual 5
Introduction
Introduction
The HD-P2 is a compact, lightweight Portable High
Denition Stereo Audio Recorder. It uses standard
Compact Flash memory cards to record in mono or
stereo, 16- or 24-bit, at samples rates from 44.1kHz
to 192kHz. An advanced clocking system is included,
with the ability to chase external timecode and lock to
an outside word clock or video reference signal. The
HD-P2 supports digital and analog audio inputs and
outputs, and has a built-in microphone and speaker.
The HD-P2 records audio as standard Broadcast Wave
Files non-destructively. This means you can record
a le, rewind, and record another le at the same
location without fear of losing the rst recording. A
built-in, dynamic Edit Decision List orders le play-
back based on le record times. A le edit screen is
provided for auditioning (and editing) of individual
les.
