Questions and Answers,

Can cuts be looped?

Accurate editing tools make it easy to create

virtually seamless loops

What about working with

watermarked material?

DigiCart recorders employ 360 Systems Bit-

for-Bit technology in digital recording. Input

data received digitally will be replicated exactly

at the output, provided such data has not been

edited, sample rate converted, re-dithered to

another word size, or subjected to some other

DSP process such as fade-outs, etc. Standard

digital recording is always Bit-for-Bit.

How does DigiCart/E handle

data-compressed bitstreams

such as Dolby AC-3, Dolby-E,

MPEG-2?

360 Systems' Bit-for-Bit digital architecture

guarantees that encoded data will not be

corrupted by internal machine processes.

Dolby Laboratories markets stand-alone

encoders for their proprietary formats. These

may be connected to 360 Systems' DigiCart/E,

which will then act as an "audio data" recorder

for Dolby-encoded multi-channel audio.

Can stored cuts be locked or

password-protected after

editing?

Operators may invest a great deal of time

cutting a piece of music to fit one of their

shows. DigiCart/E can lock files to prevent

modification by other parties.

Are real buttons used for firing

audio playback?

DigiCart/E has real illuminated buttons on its

front panel and on its optional remote control.

"Hot Keys" also exist on both.

Is there a playback stack or

"jukebox" (user-based

memories) for each DigiCart?

As many as 1,000 customizable "playlists" may

be created and stored on each drive. Each

playlist may contain an unlimited number of

cuts, and each can be given its own unique

cont.

name, representing a show, a user, or any other

identifying characteristic. Playlists can be

nested, looped, and single-stepped.

Can pre-built playlists be

accessed from any location?

When playlists and audio cuts are stored on

the network file server, they can be accessed

from any location on the network. A sequence

of cuts may be developed in an edit area, and

then accessed for production on a stage.

Can files be transferred

between DigiCart/E and the

network file server?

Files recorded to DigiCart/E's local drive can be

transferred to the file server, or vice-versa. Note

that original recordings can be made to a local

drive, or to the server; there is no requirement

to move files except as a user convenience.

How can saved cuts be imported

and exported to an external

medium?

DigiCart/E includes a Zip

drive, large

enough to archive a majority of file sizes

used in broadcast. The drive can also read

100-MB disks to exchange material with

DigiCart II recorders.

Can DigiCart/E handle

"peripheral bus" or E-Mem

serial commands?

Yes. A menu determines what format is

accepted by the 9-pin serial port.

Can DigiCart/E accept the

same automation commands

as earlier models?

Yes. Major automation systems such as

Harris/Louth will directly control DigiCart/E.

What about GPI control?

Five GPI inputs are provided on a 25-pin D

connector: PLAY, STOP, RECORD, LOOP,

PAUSE and SECONDARY. All include an

open-collector output for operating an LED or

lamp.

Can I play audio if the file

server goes down?

DigiCart/E contains its own internal hard

drive. Mission-critical locations such as Master

Control can keep "local" copies of important

cuts so they can always go to air. DigiCart/E

does not have to be connected to a network,

and also operates as a stand-alone

recorder/editor/player.
