The Extended Recorder
The Extended Recorder can be used to record meetings and for dictation. Like
the Audio Recorder, the Extended Recorder records, compresses, stores, and
plays music and other sounds. Unlike the Audio Recorder, the Extended
Recorder compresses and stores the audio file directly to your hard disk using
ESPCM compression. The recording time is limited only by the amount of
hard disk space you have available.
The Extended Recorder can record to and play back from both PCM and
.AUD formats. PCM is the Microsoft Windows 3.1 audio file format. The
.AUD format uses ESPCM compression to produce an audio file. The
Extended Recorder provides a choice of linear PCM (8-bits or 16 bits) and
ESPCM low (4-bits) compression.
System Requirements
Use the Extended Recorder with a hard disk compression utility only if you
have a high-performance system and are using a low data rate for recording
and playback. Otherwise, your computer's CPU may become overloaded.
For Best Results
If you wish to use 16-bit stereo at 44KHz for recording or playback, your
system must follow the specifications below:
m
486 system running at 50MHz or faster
m
8 megabytes of RAM or more
m
a hard disk access time of 15 milliseconds or faster
Operating a system without these specifications may cause data loss when you
attempt 16-bit stereo, 44KHz recording.
Starting the Extended Recorder:
1. From the Orchid Audio Applications program group, double-click on the
