Zaxcom at NAB

At NAB Zaxcom will show the following new products.


Deva Flash Drive: This solid-state memory replaces the hard disk in
the Deva IV and V recorders. It will store up to 36Gbytes of audio. It
instantly converts the Deva into the first solid-state multi-track
production recorder. No modification to the Deva is required. The
Deva hard disk and the Deva Flash Drive can be interchanged instantly
by plugging in the Flash Drive into the hard disk slot in the side of
the Deva.

Deva Fusion: This is an exciting new product that fuses together
several products to form a complete sound bag solution for ENG and EFP
applications. The product incorporates a 4 input, 6 output mixer with
4 mic/line inputs and 48V phantom power. A 4 channel audio recorder
(based on hard drive or compact flash memory), a time code reader
/generator and a 2 channel digital audio RF transmitter with time
code. MP3 transcription outputs on compact flash are also available.
As a benefit to Deva IV and V owners the Fusion will play and record
Deva disks (up to 4 tracks) and provide a low cost solution for
postproduction. Sample rates go as high as 192KHz. The base price is
about $4995.

Deva Mix-12: This is a full function mixer control surface for use
with the Deva IV and V. It provides the full functionality of a
traditional mixing panel at less than half the cost. Combined with the
Deva it offers 16 inputs (8 analog and 8 digital) and 18 output busses
with full communication capability, EQ and Compressor. Current
consumption for the Deva and the Deva Mix-12 is only about 1.25 amps
at 12V. The unit has 12 sealed faders designed for use on location and
also contains a built-in QWERTY keyboard for metadata entry. The unit
uses the advanced 32 bit digital mixer inside the Deva to accomplish
what had previously required a separate mixer and recorder.

Deva Mix-8: This is a fader box containing 8 P&G faders for mixing
audio in locations that are cramped such as insert cars. The unit
works with the Deva IV and V. A QWERTY keyboard is also included for
entering metadata. This unit also uses the advanced digital mixer
inside the Deva to accomplish what had previously required a separate
mixer and recorder.

ENG Wireless Multi-combiner: A single rack unit panel holds 4 Zaxcom
ENG receivers and provides antenna and power distribution.

Zaxcom will also demonstrate the Deva IV and V as well as mono and
stereo Digital Wireless microphones.

Come early to get some cool Zaxcom swag and chocolate covered cherries
while supplies last.

Hope to see you all at the show.

Best Wishes,
Glenn

Thanks for the update Glenn. All of the new products sounds interesting
and I look forward to seeing them in person. I am particularly excited
to see the new control surfaces.
Still, I don't think you can call the Deva Flash Drive and Deva 4/5 'the
first solid-state multi-track production recorder'. That distinction
still belongs to the Nagra ARES-C (and its recent sibling), even if the
feature set is nothing compared to the new Devas.
