Auto; Record Channels; Two Track; Four Track - Zaxcom Deva 5.8 Owner's Manual

Chapter 5

AUTO

In this mode Deva chooses whether it is getting an external reference or not.

Record Channels

Selects the number of desired recording channels from 1 through 10.

Two Track

The TWO TRACK button enables tracks one and two.

Four Track

The FOUR TRACK button enables tracks one through four.

Tracks Mixed To

The TRACKS MIXED TO button automatically enables any tracks that are selected in the DISK MIX menu.
For most uses you can leave this setting in the TRACKS MIXED TO mode.
Note: You can also manually select the tracks to record by selecting any or all of the 10 track buttons.

Pre-Record Time

Toggles between 0 and 10 seconds. This means that the Deva, using a memory buffer, begins recording a set
number of seconds before the RECORD button is pushed. This eliminates 'pre-roll' problems at video
transfer houses, and is invaluable in documentary recording where events are non-predictable.
Important: Pre-Record Time is only available when recording at 48 kHz and below. It is not available at higher sampling
rates.

Tone and Reference Setup

This cycles between -12 and -20 db.
