Overview
|
| Answering
the call of remote recording engineers, the TASCAM HD-P2 Portable
High-Definition Stereo Audio Recorder is the professional solution for
challenging live and on-location applications. Co-developed with
Frontier Design Group, it records at up to 192kHz/24-bit resolution to
Compact Flash media, and its audio files are instantly available to
DAWs through the built-in high-speed FireWire computer connection.
Unlike consumer MP3 sketchpads, the professional HD-P2 incorporates
high-end features like a SMPTE timecode input for synchronization to
external devices while in record or playback. The user interface is
designed for fast and intuitive use under stressful one-take-only
situations, and its large, angled LCD is perfect for any application
from over-the-shoulder location recording to concert recording and
commercial use. High-definition Recording, To Go The HD-P2 records in
stereo from 44.1kHz to 192kHz, at 16- or 24-bit, to affordable Compact
Flash media. Not only is Compact Flash absolutely silent, so no
transport noise will show up on your recording, but the recorded audio
is written directly as Broadcast WAVE files for immediate use in
digital audio workstations. The unit even includes a FireWire jack for
the fastest possible transfer of files to your PC or Mac computer. The
Professional design of the HD-P2 extends to convenient details that pro
users will appreciate. The Retake button allows the user to delete the
last recording and set up to re-record with a single button press. As
audio is recorded, the file headers are continually re-saved to protect
your recording against accidental data loss. Files can be named from
the front panel interface or using a PS/2 keyboard, which can also be
used to control transport and setup features. On the input side, the
unit has a pair of XLR mic inputs with phantom power and analog peak
limiting to curb distortion during unpredictable live events. The input
level control allows the user to change the level without taking their
eyes off the action. The HD-P2 also features unbalanced RCA ins and
outs as well as S/PDIF digital I/O. Monitoring is available through a
headphone out - again, with its own ergonomic level control - using a
built-in speaker. A built-in microphone is also provided for interviews
and educational use. Built-in Synchronization - Because Being On Time
Shouldn't Have To Be An Option TASCAM's HD-P2 comes standard with a
full-featured timecode input - making it the most affordable recorder
with built-in timecode ever made. Incoming LTC is connected to the
locking XLR input for timestamping your Broascast WAVE files from a
central clock. Not only does the recorder timestamp your recorded audio
with sample accuracy, the HD-P2 chases incoming timecode during
playback for review or loading into an editor. A video clock input
allows frame edge resolve to a central blackburst source or use as a
lock-and-release timecode slave. There's also a freewheel setting for
use with unpredictable timecode sources. For maximum compatibility with
the post production world, the HD-P2 supports pull-up and pull-down
sample rates, even at high-resolution settings. The video clock input
accepts tri-level sync for high-definition television production. On
Location, It's More Welcome Than The Craft Service Table The
shoulder-slung design of the HD-P2 with its included locking strap
makes it a natural choice for film production recording. The Compact
Flash media is safely recessed and latched to prevent accidental
ejection, and audio can be recorded locked to timecode and video
reference for absolute lock. It runs for approximately 5.5 hours on
readily-available AA alkaline batteries, and weighs less than two
pounds with batteries installed. At the end of the day, recordings can
be instantly transferred to an editor through the FireWire jack or a CF
reader for use in a non-linear editor to sync dailies or to conform
dialog during post. Precise recording quality for capturing a live
performance The HD-P2's 192kHz/24-bit recording resolution is so
precise, you can almost hear what brand of cork was used for the
conductor's baton. Its Compact Flash transport doesn't make any noise,
so you don't need to worry about machine noise on the recording. The
high-quality mic preamps provide phantom power to handle sensitive
condenser microphones, and the analog limiter protects the recording
against sudden transient distortion. With the high capacity of today's
Compact Flash media, you might even be able to enjoy the performance
without constantly watching the time remaining meter. You don't need a
union card to figure it out Although the HD-P2 was designed for
demanding film shoots and live concerts, it's still simple and
affordable enough for use in everyday classrooms, churches and home
studios. School band and orchestra leaders can use it to record
rehearsals for students, and then record concerts to sell for
fundraising. House-of-worship leaders can record their services for
duplication on CD, and its high-speed FireWire connection provides
instant access to the recording, so that CDs can be authored and
duplication can begin as the laity files out of the church. With
professional connectivity, built-in synchronization, high-resolution
recording and Compact Flash convenience, the HD-P2 is the professional
solution for serious recording in a reliable, portable package. |
