Samson ZOOM H4n
4-Channel Handy Recorder

The H4n has become the “go to” solution for DSLR cameras such as the Canon 5D and 7D or the Nikon D90. Though filmmakers and video professionals have fallen in love with DSLR cameras for their HD video quality and their ability to make digital video look like film through 35mm lenses, they possess limited audio recording options.

Enter the H4n… The H4n offers DSLR cameras its incredibly sensitive onboard mics and 4-channel recording capabilities. It is the only recorder that makes it possible to use a boom mic with its Channel 1 XLR input, a wireless lavaliere on its Channel 2 XLR and get incredible stereo imaging with its onboard mics, all at once.

The H4n’s internal clock is also very attractive to DSLR camera operators and film editors. The clock’s extreme precision ensures that there will be no drift when dealing with short clips. For longer shots, the audio and video sync is performed during editing using software like Final Cut Pro, Sony Vegas or Adobe Premiere.

For these applications, we recommend PluralEyes by Singular Software. PluralEyes saves hours in post-production for “dual- system audio” or multi-take workflows. It automatically synchronizes all your audio and video clips without the need for time code, clappers or any special preparation.

DualEyes
Automatic A/V Sync Software

DSLR cameras that shoot video have taken the world by storm. Although the pictures are gorgeous, it is hard to achieve the same level of quality for audio recorded onto the camera. The preferred solution is dual-system audio: capture sound on a separate recorder and substitute this for the camera audio in post-production.

DualEyes™ makes this complicated process a snap. It uses the same underlying technology as its big brother, PluralEyes®, to automatically sync and cut the audio recording into clips that match the video clips. Bring them into your favorite NLE and you're ready to start editing with great audio quality.

Because DualEyes is a standalone application, it can be used with any NLE software application, from consumer level to comprehensive professional production suites.
