Page 5: Quick Start Guide
Quick Start Guide The 744T is an extremely powerful and ﬂ exible portable audio recorder. Before recording, please familiarize yourself with the product. Several settings should be veriﬁ ed or set based on individual recording needs. Powering the Unit Apply power to the unit by attaching the (included) removable, rechargeable Li-ion (lithium ion) bat- tery to the back panel battery mount.
Page 6: Routing Inputs To Tracks
Routing Inputs to Tracks Before recording, inputs must be assigned to tracks. Each of the 744T’s four inputs (1, 2, 3, 4) can be assigned to any of the four tracks (A, B, C, D). These 256 possible routing combinations are shown on the front panel with 16 blue LEDs.
Page 7: Firewire File Transfer To Computer
Files on the 744T can be treated as if they are local ﬁ les, including renaming ﬁ les, copying, deleting and playing directly from the 744T hard drive. In general, it is good practice to copy audio ﬁ les from the 744T to a computer before any processing is performed on the ﬁ les.

Page 20: Input-To-Track Routing
744T User Guide and Technical Information Input-to-Track Routing The 744T uses a ﬂ exible routing scheme to assign inputs and tracks for recording. The input matrix allows any input to be routed to any recording track. Multiple inputs can be routed to a single track to create mono-mixed recordings.
Page 21: Selective Input Muting
Sampling Rate and Bit Depth When recording the 744T generates uncompressed PCM audio WAV ﬁ les in the Broadcast Wave File format at the user-selected sampling rate and bit depth. The 744T LCD calculates available recording time based on the sampling rate, bit depth, number of tracks set for recording and the selected stor- age media available capacity.
Page 22: Bit Depths
16 bit, meaning the least signiﬁ cant 8 bits are discarded. Once a ﬁ le is recorded its sampling rate and bit depth can not be changed in the recorder. The 744T does not perform sample rate conversion or bit depth changes. File conversion must be done in another environment, such as an audio workstation.
Page 23: Word Clock
If the 744T is slaved to external word clock, be certain that the source is stable. Loss of the word clock signal during recording can cause the 744T to revert back to its internally set sampling frequency.
Page 24: Outputs - Analog And Digital
Serious damage to the recorder could result. Outputs – Analog and Digital The 744T has two two-channel output buses , the Master Output Bus and Output Bus 2. Each of these buses is assigned audio sources independently, enabling the 744T to feed multiple outputs with unique program.

Page 29: Rotary Switch Behavior
Headphone Warning Tones The 744T can generate an audible beep, or warning “bell”, in the headphones when an error has occurred. The speciﬁ c error will be reported on the LCD. The output level of the warning bell can be selected from off or –20 to –12 dBFS in the setup menu.
Page 30: Metering And Display
744T User Guide and Technical Information Metering and Display The 744T features a 76 LED (4 x 19) output meter. The DSP-controlled output meter provides a selec- tion of ballistics and lighting intensities. In addition, separate peak indicators on input channels show clipping activity.
Page 31: Peak Leds
Input Peak The 744T has a peak LED associated with each input. These LEDs illuminate when input signal reaches –3 dBFS. There is no user-adjustment to the Input Peak LEDs. These LED’s also function as indicators of input mute activity (see Input-to-Track Routing).
Page 32: Lcd Contrast & Backlight, Led Brightness
(Setup Menu selected) the LEDs are toggled on and off with the LCD backlight key. LCD Gain Display By default, the 744T displays the set Bit Depth and Sampling Rate in the right-hand side of the Main LCD Display. The gain level for inputs 1 and 2 temporarily override the Bit Depth and Sampling Rate display while the input gain pots are in use.
Page 33: Time Code
All ﬁ les generated by the 744T have time code numbers begin on the 0 frame (or 02 in DF modes). If necessary, pre-roll is dynamically applied to accomplish this. This simpliﬁ es synchronization in post-pro- duction.
Page 34: F Sampling Rate Modes
47.952kF mode, the time code rate is restricted to 29.97ND, while the ﬁ le is identiﬁ ed as 30ND. 47.952F mode is useful in applications where the 744T is recording in high-def environments with cameras at 23.97 and post production is using a straight 24 frame session.
Page 35: Time Code Hold Off
The internal time code generator follows an external time code signal appearing at the time code input. In all of the external time code modes the time code value set on the 744T appears as the re- corded ﬁ le’s time code rate value.

Once formatted, all data on the drive will be erased. Dynamic lists such as track names, scene names, folder options, etc...
Page 56: Drive Failure
The mechanical construction of the 744T is designed to minimize the transmission of shock to the hard drive. The drive is isolated from the chassis using special shock-reducing closed-cell foam. This material increases the amount of shock the hard drive can withstand.
Page 57: Storage Medium - Removable Compactflash
CompactFlash (CF) is a practical, portable storage medium for audio recording. Its speed, capacity, and price continue to evolve to the beneﬁ t of portable recorders. The 744T can write to and read from CF cards as either its sole storage medium or simultaneously with the internal hard drive.
Page 58: Qualiﬁ Ed Cf Cards
FAT32 volumes. Upon connection to an unformatted (or non-FAT32 formatted) external drive, the 744T will prompt the user to format the drive. If the drive is already formatted as a FAT32 volume the drive will be ready to be selected as a storage medium. The front panel drive LED will illuminate to show which drives are available for recording.
Page 59: Firewire Bus Powering
After recording to an external drive has stopped, it may take several seconds for the 744T to ﬁ nish “housekeeping” on drive. This is especially true when recording to DVD-RAM disks, which generally have slower throughput than hard drives. When preparing to disconnect a FireWire drive, always observe the amber activity LED labeled EXT.
