PCM Digital Sound
Optura Pi offers
two digital audio
modes to enhance
the playback experience. The
16 bit mode produces the
higher, CD equivalent, two-
channel sound quality while
the 12 bit mode records on
two of four channels leaving
two other channels free to dub
extra sound at a later date.
Analog Line-in
Now it's possible to send an
analog video signal from your
TV, VCR or camcorder into the
Optura Pi and record it onto
DV. It’s great for making
copies or
preserving
precious originals.
A/V Insert and
Audio Dubbing
Use this feature to insert new
scenes of video from your VCR
or other camcorder on to a
tape recorded in the SP mode.
Using a recording made in the
12 bit audio mode you can
also add stereo sound from
another audio source or
through the internal
microphone or an external
microphone such
as the DM-50
Directional stereo
microphone.
One Touch
Dubbing
The Optura Pi includes an
easy to use dubbing function
for making great copies of
your original recordings. You
can even apply the Faders
and Effects to your original
recordings while copying to a
tape in your VCR.
Lithium Ion Power
Lithium ion battery packs can
be recharged at any time, so
you will always be prepared
for peak shooting
performance, and never
caught without power
unexpectedly. Cut down on
charging time with the high-
capacity BP-522 battery
pack’s* quick charging
feature. When charged with
the CR-560 charger kit*, the
BP-522 gives 60 minutes of
recording after only 15
minutes’ charging.
