PRESS RELEASE
Integrate Mackie's Digital 8-Bus and HDR 24/96 with Upcoming DW8
March 11, 2001
Advertisement Mackie Designs Inc. has announced development of the new D8W Integrator. This software/card package provides seamless integration of Mackie's Digital 8-Bus and HDR24/96 Hard Disk Recorder/Editor and adds support for the Mackie Universal Time Synchronizer. "With the introduction of the Integrator, it's time to stop thinking of the d8b and HDR24/96 as two separate pieces of digital equipment," observed Mackie's Market Manager Scott Garside, "Rather, we're now offering a true workstation with full editing, recording, automation, plug-ins and a superb hands-on control surface. All components are synced with sample accuracy; controls on the d8b work the hard disk recorder; software is unified and accessible from one monitor. This set up allows the user the ability to use one mouse, one keyboard and one monitor." The D8W Integrator card installs in the HDR24/96 hard disk recorder and connects to the d8B via a proprietary cable. It features MIDI I/O ports for MTC and MMC, and a port for connecting to the Universal Time Synchronizer, which adds multiple Sony 9-pin control ports, VITC read/generate, biphase lock, word clock distribution, video generation, and SMPTE clock resolving to the existing D8W synchronization capabilities. Integrator dramatically enhances the Digital 8-Bus and HDR24/96 with the following features:
According to Garside, "The D8W Integrator is currently in working prototype form and will shortly enter beta testing. No firm release date has been announced at this point. It's a work in progress and is not yet shipping." For more information, visit their web site at http://www.mackie.com/.
