Sound Devices, LLC and SoundField Ltd. announced the availability of SoundField B-format surround decoding on Sound Devices' 744T four-track production audio recorder. 744T firmware revision 1.57 (and greater) now offers B-format-to-stereo decoding without additional hardware.
Ken Giles, Sales Director of SoundField said, "Our SoundField microphone users can now monitor and output stereo from a Sound Devices recorder while recording multi-channel B-format surround (W, X, Y, and Z) for later post-processing. The portable 744T is an excellent complement to our upcoming, portable ST350 Surround Microphone System. This combination greatly reduces the size and complexity of surround recording in the field."
SoundField manufactures a range of microphones each capable of generating mono, stereo and full surround. In addition to the hardware SoundField has developed software for both surround and stereo applications which enables all microphone parameters to be adjusted or changed after the event in post production. The Surround Zone software is available on the Digidesign Pro Tools, Nuendo and SADiE platforms.
