The
next generation of standalone multitrack recorders is here, and
provides supreme quality 8-track recording to standard-size DVD-RAM
discs in a unique package representing the very forefront of multitrack
recorder design. But, then again, you would expect nothing less from
Fostex.
MARKET LEADERS
Starting
with the 8-track D80 almost 10 years ago and continuing with today's
acclaimed 24-track D2424LV, Fostex have been driving the standalone
HD-based multitrack market forward through innovation and refinement.
Now, with the experienced gained in implementing state-of-the-art
DVD-RAM recording technology into the revolutionary DV40 Master
Recorder and industry standard PD-6 DVD Location Recorder, Fostex
present the new D824 DVD-RAM based multitrack.
DVD-RAM TECHNOLOGY
The
DVD-RAM format has fast become the format of choice among audio, video
and film professionals around the world. It has built-in error
correction, (enhanced by 'Verify/Write' technology which constantly
examines the recorded data being stored on DVD-RAM), is durable, and
has longevity. It therefore seemed only natural to use the technology
for a brand new breed of multitrack recorder.
ALL APPLICATIONS INCLUSIVE
Fostex
have identified that different applications require different
interfacing that broaden the appeal of the machine across multiple
applications and environments. Primary recording and playback
functions, along with metering, user interface and disc management, are
all handled by the powerful mainframe, with additional functionality,
(such as timecode), available via plug-in cards allows the DV824 to
precisely accommodate diverse applications. Inclusive only in the US
version, Timecode / Bi-phase, IEEE1394 interface for direct data
transfer to/from PC or Mac, firewire, and internal Hard Disk for dual
disk recording with auto backup all come standard.
PREDICTABLE SOUND QUALITY
First
there is the excellent audio quality offered by the high-definition
recording engine which offers multitrack recording in one of six audio
formats up to 24bit / 96kHz. Then there's the full compliment of
balanced analog I/O and AES/EBU digital I/O, the programmable playback
feature (ideal for telecine playback), the comprehensive headphone
monitoring, the smart file administration and Ethernet networking. In
addition, the DV824 can be powered via AC or DC current, making it
ideal for on-cart location applications, and it employs the same BWF
file format and UDF disk format as other Fostex DVD-RAM machines for
excellent PC/Mac compatibility. Finally, there's the intuitive
operation, thanks to a user interface which combines a 132 x 64 dot LCD
display, positive-action buttons / switches, large LED time indicator,
18-bar level metering and intelligently written software.
SUPREMELY VERSATILE
Ready
for TV show recording, live stage recording, small event playback,
large scale live theatre SE playback, on-cart location sound recording,
telecine playback and more, the new Fostex DV824 is probably the most
versatile multitrack ever designed.
