SilentSkp (Silent Skip)
Silent skip automatically pauses recording when there
is a period of silence and resumes recording when
sound resumes. Sometimes this feature is referred to
as voice activated recording. Silent Skip looks for
sound below a preset level for a preset period of time.
When that occurs the PMD570 switches to record
pause. When a signal of about -30 dB is input record-
ing resumes.

• turning Silent Skip On or Off
• adjusting the silent time period in one second
intervals from 1 to 5 seconds, and
• adjusting the margin sound level that defines
silence in -5 dB increments from -20 to -60 dB.

tion of recording after a record pause by Silent Skip
adds an EDL mark.
Default settings are Off, 3 seconds, and -40 dB.
