360 Systems’ new DigiCart/E Ethernet Audio

recorder builds on a decade of experience gained

delivering DigiCart II recorders to television

broadcasters. DigiCart/E is more than an

improvement on the digital cart machine

concept – it’s the foundation of the new, high-

performance, Ethernet Audio system for

television broadcasters. DigiCart/E is 100%

compatible with earlier DigiCart recorders, can

play files produced on them, and uses similar

front panel commands. A key feature of the 360

Systems’ Ethernet Audio

™

network is the link to

Mac

and PC-based audio workstations. Audio

programs produced on DAWs can be easily

accessed for playback on DigiCart/E.

Networked Audio without

the Computer

No computer and no mouse – just the hands-

on efficiency of real buttons for all operations.

DigiCart/E is designed from the ground up for

broadcast professionals. It’s fast, straight-

forward, and easy to use.

DigiCart/E Works the Same

Way as DigiCart II

Everyone who knows how to use DigiCart II

will know how to use DigiCart/E. It brings

better displays, better screen messages, and new

networking features, with the same familiar buttons.

Complete File Compatibility

with DigiCart II

All earlier DigiCart files can be played – whether

Dolby AC-2, 16-bit linear, 44.1 or 48K – so

valuable program content and archives can be

carried forward. DigiCart/E can also create new

files for use in DigiCart II, so earlier hardware

investments remain a valid part of any new facility.

Make Digital Transfers to

the New DigiCart/E

• The standard 100MB Zip disks for DigiCart II

still move files back and forth to DigiCart/E.

DigiCart/E’s newer

750 or 250MB Zip drive

also reads 100MB disks.

• The original D-NET file transfer protocol

using AES ports has been maintained, making

it easy to move valuable files into the new

DigiCart/E.

• AES/EBU ports perform digital machine-to-

machine transfers. DigiCart’s 75-ohm AES

ports on BNC connectors can transfer files as

far as 1,000 feet.

New Editing Tools

DigiCart/E provides a faster way to edit audio.

The weighted front-panel jog wheel moves rapidly

back and forth, making it easy to place marks or

set time points. DigiCart/E offers these non-

destructive editing features:

• Head trims

• Tail trims

• Fade-ins

• Fade-outs

• Pre-roll times

• Gain change

Edits can always be undone, and trim points can

be easily changed for a future re-edit of the cut.

DigiCart/E provides clear indications of edit

points and the present location within a cut.
