Fostex Offers Complete Digital Recording Package

Fostex is now offering a complete digital recording system, consisting of the D2424 24bit/96kHz 24-track hard disk recorder, Hammerfall 24 digital 1/O card and C-Console full function monitor / remote software.

"Bundling this package provides the professional with a complete digital recording solution at a remarkably low price," says Phil Celia, Fostex Director of Sales and Marketing. "Our research has shown that most of our D Series recorders are being used in computer based systems, often syncing to external software editing systems. With the D2424 Recording Bundle, a complete system is achieved by offering a computer connectivity solution and a means to control the recorder from the computer."

The D2424 recorder provides a number of high performance features and functions, including 24-bit/96kHz record/reproduce and 128-times oversampling AD/DA. The unit features 24 tracks with 32 virtual tracks for a total of 56 tracks. CPU performance is substantially conserved. This allows an affordable software package to be used as a computer based mixer. The Hammerfall sound card was chosen to provide 24 track, 24-bit audio with real-time mixing and DSP effects. It's unique design, by having 80% of the software burned directly in the card's EPROM, achieves an industry latency breakthrough of 1.5 milliseconds. The card is also fully compatible with all operating systems.

C-Console is a software-based, fully functional remote and system status controller. Depending on the applications, C-Console has a wide variety of significant benefits to current and future Fostex products. With C-Console, the D2424 can be located anywhere in the world and still be controlled as if it was right in front of you. Control is achieved using TCP/IP and can be done over a wired or wireless network or over the Internet. With the voice recognition plug-in, the D2424 can be fully controlled by voice commands. This feature also lends itself to live applications where hands-off operation may be necessary for the operator.
