The camcorder features 4-channel linear PCM (LPCM) or 2-channel AAC audio recording and playback for MP4
clips, and 4-channel LPCM audio recording and playback for XF-AVC clips. The sampling frequency is 48 kHz.
You can record audio using the INPUT terminals* (commercially available microphones or analog line-in audio
sources), the MIC terminal (commercially available microphones) or the built-in microphone.
The audio signal will be output along with the video signal from the SDI OUT terminal (
