Product Highlights

This section outlines many of the superb features designed into the TCR series of digital multi-track

recorders. All of these features apply to both the TCR4 and TCR8.

•

Unlimited Storage

Today's projects result in very large audio files, particularly when they are multi-track, 24-

bit, or recorded at high sample rates. With the advent of affordable very high capacity drives,

the file size limitation has been removed. TCR can accept an internal hard disk of unlimited

size, with individual file size extending to the 24-hour limit of SMPTE/EBU time code.

•

High Density Removable Media

TCR recorders include a 250 MB Zip® drive as standard equipment. Each 250 MB Zip®

cartridge provides a half-hour of low-cost file storage. Additionally, a 5_" drive bay accepts

many user-selected drives, including removable hard disks, magneto-optical disks, and the

emerging ultra-high density cartridges. A rear-panel SCSI port connects as many as five

additional drives to the TCR system.

•

Programmable Hardware

360 Systems brings an entirely new design concept to the TCR platform — Programmable

Hardware. To allow the system to be reconfigured as needs arise, much of TCR's internal

architecture is built with programmable Flex® logic, which can be reconfigured under

software control. Using the built-in Zip drive, new hardware and software tools can be

loaded. Overall, this superb capability means that TCR can be upgraded, modified and

reconfigured with minimal disruption to your schedule.

•

Word Size Flexibility

As top quality audio becomes an increasing priority in the entertainment industry, 360

Systems selected 24-bits as the standard word size for all TCR recordings. However, optional

16 and 20-bit digital outputs can be generated for compatibility with older equipment.

•

Control Panel Clarity

The TCR's control panel is designed for ease-of-use, with features specifically tailored for

audio and video professionals. The large illuminated LCD screen provides clear and concise

data for each system mode, including file names, machine status, edit operations, task

prompts and operator "alerts." A separate large LED readout is provided for clarity in reading

time code position. For metering, a precise 14-segment LED meter array shows each

channel's level. For further operator comfort, intuitive VTR-like controls including the

familiar Jog/Shuttle Wheel are provided.

•

Time Code Synchronization

TCR recorders include a complete set of SMPTE-EBU time code capabilities. They can lock

to all common NTSC and PAL sync formats, including VITC, LTC, word clock, AES/EBU,

internal crystals, or the multi-machine bus. Sample and playback rates can incorporate a

±0.1% pull-up or pull-down to accommodate any format conversion.
