Types of available codecs vary depending on the setting of [LINE&FREQ]. For details, refer to “Multi formats”.
[AUDIO SMPL RES] | If the recording format is AVC-Intra 100/AVC-Intra 50, selects number of the audio recording quantizing bits. [16BIT]: 16-bit is the audio recording bit quantity.

The clip numbers of P2 devices that are not 24-bit compatible are displayed in red and cannot be used for playback. Audio does not play back correctly on a P2 Viewer that is not 24-bit compatible. Always use the latest P2 Viewer Plus version. For 24-bit compatible P2 devices and the latest P2 Viewer Plus information, visit the P2 support page on the following website. https://pro-av.panasonic.net/

[COMPRESSION MODE] | Selects how to compress video when recording. [NORMAL]: Records in standard compression mode. [DARK]: Records by reducing image distortions caused by compression generated in portions of approx. 10IRE (70 mV) or darker. Factory setting: [NORMAL] This setting is enabled when recording in DVCPRO HD 720P mode.

NOTE

- If [LINE&FREQ] or [REC FORMAT] is changed, the set pre-recording time value (main menu → [REC/PB] → [REC FUNCTION] → [PRE REC TIME]) may also be changed accordingly. The range that can be set for pre-recording time differs depending on the settings in [LINE&FREQ] and [REC FORMAT]. If the pre-recording time exceeds the limit that can be set after changing the setting in [LINE&FREQ] or [REC FORMAT], the maximum limit value will be set.
