SD HD recorder with no a/d or pre-amp coming soon too!
« on: April 25, 2003, 07:02:56 PM »
An addition to the 722/744, got this over at the Oade board.

This is great to hear they are really looking for feedback on this design.   :D

I think a simple unit would be great.  Basically all I really think I want is a big ass HD, firewire, and digital in's and out's, coax style with optical and aes being a bonus.  Oh yeah, I want really good meters, at least up with the da-p1's meters, with a big blue light!  Build it inside an ammo box, but make sure the material is lightweight, and make it 500 bucks, maybe six.  Doesn't seem like this would be all that difficult considering the design is there.  All they would need to do is to pull out all the bonus stuff and screw it back together.  What do you guys think?

I think it will easily be over $1000.  Probably $13-1400, if I had to guess...

My guess is the mic pre and a to d aren't the most expensive parts of that unit.  Never know, tho.

Now if it was under $1000...  I'd jump on it, much more convienient than my lappy.

It just seems to me that a laptop is more viable as you can use it at home, work, play, and of course, in the field.  We shall see...

The problem I have with laptop is the fact that it is unstable, bulky, and I have to carry a 9lb. SLA to power mine.

A sturdy, relatively smaller (stealthable) HD recorder would be much better.

Danmorgan: why do you have to have an external power source?  My dell will run 3.5-4 hours on 1 batt and 8+ on 2...

But I agree with the rest of your assessment.  They're just not made for field recording, I cringe every time some walks by balancing a handful of beers :)

Sweet, man!  I'll see ya at the Wu show, then!  I think Curtis is comin' up...  Hopefully the bastard will drive this time, so I can get my groove on :D

Things are going great up here, I'm trying to find a nice DVD transport for my home hifi rig, and I spent the afternoon kickin' it at the local hifi shop  8)

Ducati:  My laptop has only 1 internal battery which sits in the underside of the unit.  This internal battery sucks and lasts less than a half an hour.  I could put an additional battery in one of the media bays, but it also does not have really good run time...around 2 hrs.  The current setup I have uses the 12v SLA and a 12-volt car adapter which acts like an outside AC source.  It keeps the internal battery charged and can run for 6-8 hours.  Again, the best reason for the HD recorder, IMO, is the stability of it against the laptop.  And the part you mention about the possibilities of beer spillage...well, you know.

The sh|t we go through for 24 bit ;)

Good point about stability...  A dedicated HD device would really be much easier to keep stable.  I know I have to follow a pretty rigorous routine to keep my tapes dropout free, and it took me 6 shows to figure it out :D

Sweet, bean, I'll seeya in line for the Wu.  Can't wait to hear that band, I saw your post on them in another thread.   8)
