MD Data Ñ The New Media For The
Next Generation
MiniDisc (MD) is rapidly becoming the media of choice for
numerous professional audio applications including broadcast,
multimedia, theatrical and music environments. The MD Data
format is a highly robust, optical media capable of handling
140MB (megabytes) of digital data Ñ great for all your multitrack
recording needs. And, itÕs highly transportable Ñ youÕll be able
to remove, transport and archive your work as easily as working
with tape. No complicated off-loading to free up a hard disk for
the next project Ñ simply pop in another MiniDisc and youÕre
ready for that next session! Each inexpensive MD Data disc
provides roughly 37 minutes of 4-track recording time.
The Only MD Multitrack With A Transport
Designed For Multitrack Recording
Unlike other MD multitrack recorders, the 564 uses a custom
designed transport optimized for multitrack recording. You wonÕt
find a PAUSE key on the 564 because itÕs not needed! The 564
is always in ÒReadyÓ mode! This custom transport delivers faster
data loading, better shuttle capability and the ability to reposition
