October 4, 2000Fostex announces that its new D2424 24-track recorder/editor is now being bundled with a Hammersall Digi 9652 card and

"With the D2424, you now have complete 24-track recording system right out of the box," says Rick Cannata, professional products manager for
Fostex US. "Not only can you track on the D2424, you can use your computer as a mixer with the audio residing on the Fostex unit instead of your
hard drive. The D2424 also offers a Time Code package, which includes a generator reader with optional 4.7GB DVD-RAM backup and
eight-channel AES-EBU card."
The D2424, itself, offers unlimited UNDOs, COPY/PASTE between programs, a dedicated ALL INPUT key and much more. New features also
include Auto EE mode to automatically activate ALL Input Monitor at Stop mode and a MARK Stop function that stops a song at a designated locate
point. A foot switch has also been added to remotely Punch In/Out as well as an extension slot for an Ethernet card.
The copy, cut, paste, move and erase functions have 99 times repeatable levels of undo. The direct locate function is accessed via the PREV/NEXT
key to automatically locate memory points from 00 to 99. The Sync To Video function allows system integration with various video editors complying
with RS-422, P2 protocol.
The independent Time Code generator function may be designated to any Time Code address. Pre or post stripe and jam sync is also available. Time
Code frame rates include: 24, 25, 30ND, 30DF, 29.97ND and 29.97DF.

black. For more information, visit their web site at www.fostex.com. |
