Just got this email from Sound Devices...is it old news??
Good Afternoon,
In April at NAB, Sound Devices previewed several new features for the
7-Series recorders. We are pleased to announce that these new features
are now available in a public beta version of firmware, version
"Badger". Additionally, we have made available a Windows software
utility, Wave Agent. This utility is used to convert 7-Series FLAC
files into Broadcast Wave files.
The link to the main download directory is:
www.sounddevices.com/download/Please note that Badger and Wave Agent are not production firmware and
software, respectively. They most likely contains bugs. We have
performed extensive testing, and we invite brave souls to apply Badger
and run Wave Agent. In general, these are very stable releases but,
again, they are considered beta and should not be used for
mission-critical applications.
Key new features in 7-Series firmware Badger:
- MP2, MP3 compressed file recording
- Lossless data-compressed FLAC file format recording
- FLAC file playback
- Sample-accurate record start/stop of multiple, linked recorders
Key features of the Wave Agent software utility (
www.waveagent.com for
a shortcut URL):
- FLAC to WAV file conversion
- Monophonic to polyphonic file conversion
- Polyphonic to monophonic file conversion
- File Properties viewer
The present production release of firmware, version 2.15, is still
recommended for production applications. It is available, along with
the revision history, from the download page.
Please contact us if you have any questions.
Thank you,
