Sound Devices is unveiling the 2.10 firmware
update for its 788T and 788T-SSD multitrack digital audio
recorders, along with the 1.15 upgrade to its Wave Agent software
at IBC 2010 (Stand 8.E72).
The 788T update, available to all 788T users on the company’s
website, allows for the linking of multiple 788T recorders,
as well as other Sound Devices 7-Series recorders.
Wave Agent 1.15, meanwhile, features a new Control Mode. Thanks
to a new linking capability, multiple 788T digital recorders
are easily interconnected for applications requiring higher
track counts or synchronized backups.
The 788T’s latest firmware update enables, via its C.
Link connection, multi-unit linking, locking all connected
7-Series recorders to one 788T world clock, time code and
transport. The new 788T update also supports editing metadata
from Wave Agent software. Sound mixers can directly edit 788T
file metadata from a Mac OS or Windows computer running Wave
Agent 1.15 or greater. The newly released upgrade for Wave
Agent, 1.15, features this new Control Mode (formerly known
as Meter Mode). Metadata available for edit includes scene,
take and notes values.
“Production audio recording and mixing continues to require
more tracks as films, documentaries, episodic TV and reality
TV keep accelerating the need to record sound sources as isolated
tracks,” says Jon Tatooles, managing director for Sound
Devices. “The new multi-unit linking capability in the
788T makes it easy for the sound engineer to run the 788T
simultaneously with any other 7-Series recorders and keep
all recorders sample-accurate from the start using the same
word clock and time code source. Additionally, the ability
to edit metadata directly in Wave Agent adds efficiency to
their workflows.”
The Sound Devices 788T is anl eight-input, 12-track digital
audio recorder designed for sound engineers mixing on location
for films, documentaries, episodic television and reality
TV.
Building on the proven success of the 7-Series architecture,
the 788T’s eight full-featured inputs ensure superb audio
quality, accept either microphone or line-level signals, provide
48 V phantom power for condenser microphones, offer peak limiters
for microphone inputs, and feature fully adjustable high-pass
filters, all in a compact package.
The 788T, like all Sound Devices products, is designed to
withstand the physical and environmental extremes of field
production. The front panel is gasketed for water resistance.
