PCM Audio
Uncompressed digital audio is expressed numerically by two measurements, bit depth and sampling
frequency, such as 16-bit/48 kHz. These two numbers are used to compute the data rate of uncom-
pressed audio.
Audio Data Rate = Bit Depth x Sampling Frequency
In the example below the data rate of a single 16-bit/48 kHz audio stream is computed in megabytes
per minute. Division by 1,048,576 converts from bits to megabits. Division by 8 converts from mega-
bits to megabytes; multiply by 60 converts seconds to minutes.
(((16 x 48000) / 1,048,576) / 8) x 60 = 5.49 MB/min

The chart above shows recording time available with the 702 for storage of MP3 files. Time is ex-
pressed in hours at the specified MP3 supported by the 702. Note that all MP3 files are two-channel
recordings with the 702.
Compressed Audio
When digital audio is compressed using some form of lossy, perceptual process such as MPEG2-
Layer3 (MP3 audio), Windows Media encoding (WMA), ATRAC encoding (used in MiniDisc), AAC
(MPEG-4 audio), or others - it can have a significant reduction in its data rate. Compressed audio has
enabled the practical distribution of audio over low speed data networks.
File Naming / Numbering
Files generated by the 702 are named using a syntax made up of four parts: scene number, take num-
ber, mono track designator (if mono file is selected), and extension.
