Questions & Answers

Why should I consider

DigiCart/E over other

networked audio systems?

• More DigiCart recorders are in use in

television broadcast than any other brand of

hard disk audio recorder. It has an 11-year

track record.

• DigiCart/E is 100% compatible with your

present investment in recorded audio, disk

libraries, system wiring, and operating methods.

• DigiCart recorders are one of the most

reliable pieces of broadcast equipment ever

made. Tens of thousands of people already

know how to use DigiCart recorders.

• People like hardware-based solutions. It's

faster and easier to use than a PC. 360

Systems' audio network makes economic

sense for small and mid-size stations. It can

be expanded to almost any size without

sacrificing the original investment.

• 360 Systems' audio network is conservative,

based entirely on proven technology, and

can be maintained by available network

professionals.

In what ways is DigiCart/E

compatible with my investment

in earlier DigiCarts?

• Operating controls are very similar. People

familiar with DigiCart II can immediately

use DigiCart/E.

• Files created on DigiCart II can be played

on DigiCart/E. Your entire library of

recorded audio is directly playable. Transfer

methods include Zip

disk and D-NET.

• Files for use on DigiCart II may be created

on DigiCart/E, and exported on standard

Zip disks or by D-NET. Export file types

include Dolby

AC-2 and 16-bit linear files.

• Serial control via 9-pin RS-422 is identical.

• GPI control by contract-closure is identical.

• File-naming conventions and ID numbering

schemes are compatible.

• All DigiCart recorders employ professional

XLR-3 connectors for analog and AES/EBU

digital audio, plus 75-ohm BNC connectors

for AES-3-ID and IEC-958 Type II

(consumer) digital audio.

How much delay occurs when

playing a cut from the file server?

Because a cut is immediately buffered in local

DigiCart memory when selected (as are all

Hot Keys), playback starts instantly.

What are the audio inputs

and outputs?

• AES/EBU interfaces appear as XLR ports

with transformer isolation and also as

75-ohm BNC ports (AES-3id-2000).

• Analog inputs are balanced on a XLR-3

connector with pin 2 hot, Z=20K/leg, +4

operating level, 16 dB of headroom to

full-scale.

• Analog outputs are balanced,

Z = 50-ohms/leg, +4 operating level, full

scale output = +20 dBu. Outputs have a rear

panel level trim. Audio connectors have gold

plated pins for low noise.
