The Australian Screen Sound Guild were nice enough to invite ASE members to their NAGRA-V (five) demonstration recently.
Here’s a two-track location recorder that looks and operates essentially just like the NAGRAs of old but records "BROADCAST WAV FILES" to an IDE hard disk. A (these days) smallish 20 gig disk allows umpteen hours of stereo sound to be collected along with timecode and very quickly dumped out to an edit system or even domestic computer. The hard disk can be quickly substituted by another and a quite light lithium-ion battery pack allows nine hours of continuous recording.
Where this machine should excite editors lies in the fact that whether or not you wish to add or alter notes in the AVID compatible metadata info that’s also recorded in the broadcast wav files (BWFs)…..the files will apparently arrange themselves automatically on an AVID or PROTOOOLS (& other systems) timeline according to the embedded timecode and present themselves ready for synching up.
The basic machine is about $10,000 AUS but $15,000 will buy one with all the optional extras installed (one of which is the timecode module).
