UdF File Format UNIVERSAL DISC FORMAT As the UDF (Universal Disc Format) is utilized, discs can be read by any computer OS (Windows, Mac, etc.) which makes for easy transfer of audio files to and from the recorders for external editing. Sync word & video ALL STANDARD REFERENCES All the standard clock references of word and video are included with the ability to resolve to incoming timecode. Removable media revolution Having been a leading pioneer in the field of professional digital audio for over 16 years, it seemed only natural that Fostex, the inventors of timecode DAT and portable timecode DAT, should start the next revolution in digital recording - Timecode DVD-RAM. REMOVABLE DVD-RAM & RECORDING FORMATS Fostex chose DVD-RAM as the most suitable successor to DAT after extensive research and testing. DVD-RAM has excellent reliability and has already established itself as the film industry’s preferred media format due to its built-in error correction and longevity. This security is enhanced by the Fostex’s proprietory ‘Verify/Write’ technology which constantly examines the recorded data being stored on DVD-RAM, in real-time, for error-free recording. Plus, ensuring compatibility throughout the industry and maximising the DVD-RAM technology, the DV40 and PD-6 can record multiple channels of simultaneous audio (4 with the DV40 and no less than 6 with the PD-6), in a vast number of permutations and in BWF (PD-6 and DV40) or SDII (DV40 only) formats. IN A CLASS OF THEIR OWN With the superb audio quality, up to 24-bit / 192kHz 1 available, the flexible and comprehensive timecode facilities and the sheer usability of both machines means that the PD-6 and DV40 are not just class leaders, they’re in a class of their own. Sound Mixer Chris Munro pioneered and developed the ‘magless dailies’ concept, originally with the Fostex PD-4 timecode DAT, and has refined it with the use of Fostex's DVD-RAM products. In fact, Chris was honoured with the Charles Parkhouse Award for his work in this area of production sound. The day’s audio can be loaded into a non-linear editor such as Avid Film Composer2 complete with all the automatically- generated scene, take, reel information and more in just a couple of minutes for each hour of audio directly from the DV40 or PD-6’s DVD- RAM disc, with no additional software! After syncing to picture, an export to another DVD-RAM disc produces the 'daily disc'. The editor gets all his labelling done for him by the acquisition machine, along with a guide audio track; the production team watch rushes in original digital audio; and most importantly, the production saves tens of thousands of dollars in no longer having to use (and store!) expensive mag stock, while wiping off hours from the whole post process. ‘Magless Dailies’ 03PD-6 ON SET Audio acquisition direct to DVD-RAM in BWF. Scene, slate, take, reel & timecode automatically stamped to each file/take. EDIT SUITE Fast import of the day's audio files, direct from DVD-RAM, into Avid Film Composer. All takes already automatically labelled. After sync to picture, quick export of the audio track to the DVD-RAM 'daily disc'. No real-time batch digitizing of audio into editor - save time No expensive making of mag stock for daily rushes - save money SCREENING ROOM 'Dailies disc' can be played on a DV40 synced to the screening room's projector with instant lock and hi- speed playback features as standard.
