as the time code.
Multi-function front panel with LCD monitor
The LCD panel for monitoring images, the large-size
display panel and many function buttons are housed

makes for improved operability.
Direct audio channel mixing
By operating the buttons on the front panel, the audio
signals (CH1 to CH4) to be recorded can be switched
directly.
PF (Programmable Function) buttons
Four of the setup menu items which are used most
frequently can be registered in four PF buttons.
The settings for the items registered can be changed
directly using these buttons.

recorded correctly.
