Lossless Audio Compression
No matter how large a storage volume, data compression can be a useful tool.
This is especially true when recording to CompactFlash storage cards. Sound
Devices will be previewing its next revision of firmware containing lossless
audio compression. Based on the Open Source FLAC encoding algorithm,
7-Series recorders (702, 702T, 722, and 744T) gain the ability to record
data-compressed audio to local storage while maintaining all file metadata.
A companion PC software utility will allow for extraction of files back to
industry-standard Broadcast Wave files. Compression ratios are
program-dependent, though rates between 2:1 and 3:1 compression are common.
