About this item
The Zoom Q4 Handy Video Recorder combines Full HD 1080p video with Zoom's high-quality audio capture technology. Designed with musicians in mind, the Q4 features a pop-up 120° X/Y condenser microphone that lets you capture live studio performances, concerts, or videos of yourself playing with studio-quality sound. The microphone features a maximum sound pressure input of 130 dB SPL, and an input gain of +7 to +47 dB. The Q4 also features a flip-out 2.0" LCD screen unit, a lens with a wide 130° viewing angle, and outboard audio controls for quick access to settings such as gain, monitor volume, and low cut filter.
The Q4 captures HD video at 1080p/30, 720p/60, or 720p/30. It can also record WVGA video at 60 or 30 fps. A micro-HDMI port allows you to connect the camcorder to your HDTV to watch your footage. When it comes to recording audio, the Q4 provides highest-quality audio using 16- or 24-bit uncompressed WAV formats at 96, 48, or 44.1 kHz. When audio quality isn't as important you can choose to record audio using the compressed AAC format with bit rates from 64 to 320 kbps.
The Q4 provides an external stereo input jack with plug-in power for connecting external microphones and other audio devices, and a headphones/line output jack for listening to your audio. A USB port allows the Q4 to be connected to your computer to transfer files and use the camcorder as a webcam for streaming audio and video. The recorder can simultaneously transmit video of up to 720p and 48 kHz/16-bit quality PCM audio to the computer. If the streaming application does not have a lip sync function, you can use the volume +/- keys to set the audio delay time so that it matches the timing of the video.The USB port also provides power for charging the lithium-ion battery. The Zoom Q4's battery provides up to 3 hours of record time after a full charge (Please charge before use)
