Edit Pack Option for ProControl Features
Surround Panning and More Tactile Control September 26, 2000Digidesign is pleased to announce
the upcoming release of Edit Pack, an add-on option for Digidesign's ProControl
mixing control surface. Edit Pack features two touch-sensitive motorized
joysticks for surround sound panning, a QWERTY keyboard and trackball,
8-channel high resolution metering, and many new, dedicated editing switches
allowing "single button" access to common software features
within Pro Tools.
Edit Pack's powerful new features compliment current ProControl capabilities,
enhancing Pro Tools' ability to deliver a complete integrated multichannel/surround
recording, editing, mixing and processing system for audio production.
Pro Tools|24 MIX, Edit Pack and ProControl solutions offer an extremely
cost effective, yet powerful solution for world-class surround mixing
and processing.
Edit Pack is the same size as a standard ProControl Fader Pack, making
integration with existing systems straightforward. Edit Pack adds dedicated
switches for audio post-production and music-specific Pro Tools editing
operations. Two motorized, touch-sensitive joystick panners use Digidesign's
patented DigiFader technology, providing extremely high-quality feel and
precision surround panning control. Dedicated panner section switches
offer access to channel mute, solo, joystick assignment, X/Y divergence
and more. LED displays include automation status for panner automation
and eight, 40-segment, dual-chroma meters for high-resolution metering
of Pro Tools output channel groups.
A "laptop size" QWERTY keyboard is included for data entry
and "Command Keys Focus" editing control, as is a large, dedicated
Track Ball for navigating within Pro Tools sessions.
Like other members of the ProControl product family, Edit Pack connects
to the host CPU via standard 10BaseT Ethernet. This allows units to be
shared throughout a production facility. For more information, visit their web site at www.digidesign.com. |
