Easycorder
Introduction
The Easycorder is a portable digital PC-Card recorder
developed for professional use in electronic news gathering. With its Solid
state storage, metal case and wide operating temperature range, it is capable
of performing its tasks under very poor conditions.
Build in features such as a graphical editor, several
means of communication, and Time Shift Recording make it an extremely versatile
tool for the professional user. Thanks to its long lasting smart battery
and its large internal storage, recordings of more than several hours are
no problem. External storage on PC-Cards extends the recording capacity
even further.
With state of the art electronics for the microphone
amplifiers, limiter and A/D - D/A conversion the recordings are of outstanding
audio quality. A large illuminated screen and illuminated buttons, a mechanical
and electrical lock during recording, a large gain level control knob and
presets for many operational settings make the Easycorder especially easy
to use. Due to a number of supported audio- and file-formats the Easycorder
integrates seamlessly with most broadcast automation systems, enabling
you to get your scoop on the air in the minimum of time.
The Easycorder is the ideal reporter's tool for obtaining
the best recordings under the worst conditions and delivering the material
from anywhere in the world to anywhere else in a quick and reliable way!
