Let's not forget that the HD-P2 will sync to blackburst or tri-level
sync. This makes it very useful for film/video location recording. I
reckon that Tascam is the first company to make an affordable, portable
recorder that has this capability. Tascam also improved upon the DA-P1
in that some controls are no longer global; they are now per channel.=20
Too bad they had to lose the AES/EBU I/O.
