RECORDING AND PLAYBACK

To arm a channel:

Armed channels are indicated in the meters view with red meter labels

surrounding the channel number. If neighboring channels are stereo linked,

their labels are merged to indicate that they are linked. See Channel Inputs

for more information regarding stereo linking.

Record Menu

In Basic mode, the Rec Trigger function is used to automatically start and stop

recording from a compatible HDMI source, such as a DSLR. This cool feature

lets you simultaneously start recording on a DSLR and the MixPre-3 just by

pressing the Record button on the camera, thus eliminating the possibility of

forgetting to record audio on the MixPre-3—not something that a producer will

take kindly to!

In Advanced mode, there are many more settings available, as shown in the

following table:
