Four seconds can seem like a long time! We’ve made it this way to
make absolutely certain that the Ninja-2 can’t be turned off accidentally.
HDMI in: The video input to the Ninja-2 is HDMI. This is the signal that
is recorded to the Ninja-2’s storage media.
HDMI out: This is for connection to an external monitor or other device
with an HDMI input.
Audio: The Ninja-2 can record 2 channels of digital audio embedded in
the HDMI signal. There is a 3.5mm Stereo Line-in socket for recording
audio in sync with incoming video. Depending on your set-up, you may
find that this gives you better results than the microphone on the camera.
