Features of SDA-00 models
SDA-00 models record and play analog (composite) video and audio, as well as
digital (SDI) video and audio. These models are standard definition only.
SDA-00 models use dedicated encoders for recording and dedicated decoders for
playing. They have two record channels and two play channels. You can encode and
decode video using the DV25 or MPEG-2 compression standards. You can play clips
of any of these compression types through a play channel without any configuration
changes. For example, you can play DV25 and MPEG-2 clips back-to-back on the
same timeline.
The complete product nomenclature for this model is K2-SDA-22, which designates
the channel configuration as two record and two play. Internal storage and external
storage models are available. Also refer to

Client” on page 21 .
