PD-6
Portable Location Recorder
The New Industry
'On-Cart' Standard
40GB INTERNAL HARD
DRIVE - MODEL 9056
Model 9056 is a service-centre
fitted 40GB 1.8" hard drive
partitioned into 1.46GB areas,
providing the equivalent of 27
'mini' DVD-RAMs-worth of audio
file/take storage. This makes it
ideal for extended recording
periods away from base and for
having a redundant copy
available within the PD-6 itself.
When recording direct to the
40GB hard drive, the PD-6 can be
set to DDR (Dual Disk Recording),
making for the quick handover of
audio files to the edit suite at the
end of a days shooting. With the
unique Fostex metadata provided
as standard in the BWF files the
whole post production process is
even quicker and more cost-
effective than ever.
DOCKING STATION -
MODEL EX12
The EX12 docking station
provides an additional two media
choices; 'full-size' DVD-RAM and
an additional 2.5-inch 40GB hard
drive. The EX12 hard drive sports
8 x 4.7GB partitions to match the
format of a single-sided DVD-
RAM disc and it or the DVD-RAM
can be selected as the primary
recording medium, with
file/exchange, DDR (Dual Disk
Recording) to both hard drive
and DVD-RAM functions
available. With the longer
recording times, the EX12 is
ideally suited for use in sound
mixers carts, on sound stages or
in edit suites. The unit can be
rackmounted, and can provide
power to the docked PD-6.
IEEE1394 and USB1.1 ports are
provided to allow external
computer access to the DVD-
RAM drive.
8cm DVD-RAM
The Fostex PD-6 is the new standard for
multitrack portable location recording on set or
in the field. Offering 6-channel recording at
24-bit / 96kHz with timecode on 8cm
DVD-RAM or optional internal hard drive, the
PD-6 is the answer to all of the new challenges
for location recording today. In addition, it
features a full-function, high-specification 6-
channel mixer, 'easy access' monitoring and
all the connectivity one would expect, and
need, from a thoroughly professional unit.
Removable or Internal Media
Designed from the ground-up for location
recording and to provide vibration stability,
high speed access and most importantly, high
reliability, the PD-6 is already proving itself in
motion pictures, TV productions and outside
broadcast. It can record to 8cm DVD-RAM or an
internal hard disk with DDR (Dual Disk
Recording where data is recorded direct to
both DVD-RAM and hard drive making for
quick handover of the days audio files to the
edit suite), and Auto Copy (immediate and
background modes) functions present. Plus, by
adding the EX12 docking station, even more
media recording choices are available.
Fully Featured On-Board Mixer
The six channel mixer accepts either
microphone level, with both T-Power (12V) and
phantom power (48V) available, or line level.
Phase reverse is provided on the three even
channels while each channel features
adjustable input gain. A generous defeatable
NP-1 type battery
