Love the retro meters

Drop the built in mic's for some XLR plugs and they have something

... and add a Compact Flash slot.

If it has internal FlashRAM -- I wonder how much?

looks like Sony has Dr. Emmit Brown doing R&D...i bet it requires 1.21 gigawatts for field power

Where did you find that picture?  That thing is cool.

Isn't this an old model that used Beta tape?

I'll bet that very soon we will see one of these in production minus the built in mics and the VU meters.  I didnt think Sony would withdraw from the portable prosumer DAT market and just leave the HD/Compact Flash/etc. wide open for the competition.  They have too much technology already designed and available from DAT that would be easily adaptable to the HD (similar to what I think we are seeing with the new Tascam unit).  I think it will be interesting to see this product develop.

love the built in mics and VU meeters.

They have a line in and a cheesy mic in but no spidif in dummies

those metal bits are part of the display stand not the product but I know what you mean

I stuck these at the top of the thread but here is the Nagra handheld the mic unplugs and a dongle type lead gives you xlr in but no 48v

+T to ya for the realtime pics!

No Joke man.  +T for making us all wish we were at AES too.

cool.

love the built in mics and VU meeters.

Alll you'll need for the Sony is a 9' stand and an 8' ladder to read the meters.   

I wonder if they are considering making a unit more similar to thier previous DAT recorders?  (minus VU's and mics) It looks like it has LCD meters in addition to the VU meters.

+Thanks for sharing!

did they consult Leonard Nemoy on the design?
