360 Systems’ new DigiCart/E Ethernet Audio
recorder builds on a decade of experience gained
delivering DigiCart II recorders to television
broadcasters. DigiCart/E is more than an
improvement on the digital cart machine
concept – it’s the foundation of the new, high-
performance, Ethernet Audio system for
television broadcasters. DigiCart/E is 100%
compatible with earlier DigiCart recorders, can
play files produced on them, and uses similar
front panel commands. A key feature of the 360
Systems’ Ethernet Audio
™
network is the link to
Mac
®
and PC-based audio workstations. Audio
programs produced on DAWs can be easily
accessed for playback on DigiCart/E.
Networked Audio without
the Computer
No computer and no mouse – just the hands-
on efficiency of real buttons for all operations.
DigiCart/E is designed from the ground up for
broadcast professionals. It’s fast, straight-
forward, and easy to use.
DigiCart/E Works the Same
Way as DigiCart II
Everyone who knows how to use DigiCart II
will know how to use DigiCart/E. It brings
better displays, better screen messages, and new
networking features, with the same familiar buttons.
Complete File Compatibility
with DigiCart II
All earlier DigiCart files can be played – whether
Dolby AC-2, 16-bit linear, 44.1 or 48K – so
valuable program content and archives can be
carried forward. DigiCart/E can also create new
files for use in DigiCart II, so earlier hardware
investments remain a valid part of any new facility.
Make Digital Transfers to
the New DigiCart/E
• The standard 100MB Zip disks for DigiCart II
still move files back and forth to DigiCart/E.
DigiCart/E’s newer
750 or 250
MB Zip drive
also reads 100
MB disks.
• The original D-NET file transfer protocol
using AES ports has been maintained, making
it easy to move valuable files into the new
DigiCart/E.
• AES/EBU ports perform digital machine-to-
machine transfers. DigiCart’s 75-ohm AES
ports on BNC connectors can transfer files as
far as 1,000 feet.
New Editing Tools
DigiCart/E provides a faster way to edit audio.
The weighted front-panel jog wheel moves rapidly
back and forth, making it easy to place marks or
set time points. DigiCart/E offers these non-
destructive editing features:
• Head trims
• Tail trims
• Fade-ins
• Fade-outs
• Pre-roll times
• Gain change
Edits can always be undone, and trim points can
be easily changed for a future re-edit of the cut.
DigiCart/E provides clear indications of edit
points and the present location within a cut.
