Chapter 2 - Introduction
Courier User Handbook 2-3
As standard, the Courier provides non-destructive, graphical editing facilities
including a jog/shuttle wheel to allow for accurate edits. When editing, the audio
waveform, or optionally a tape-line appears automatically on the graphical display
and the built in loudspeaker, or headphones can be used to monitor the audio
during editing and playback.
Alternatively, you can simply remove the PC card from your Courier and slot it into
a suitably equipped digital audio workstation for instant editing. Recordings can
automatically be given a unique identification code to categorise the audio reports
that are downloaded onto a hard disk system.
V3.0 software contains communications tools to quickly get your audio where you
want it to be. It is often impractical to return to your studios to download the audio,
so Courier can transfer your audio back to base using a number of flexible methods.
These include :
•
Built in ISDN communications (for the CO-ISDN-S & CO-ISDN-U models).
•
Software for transfer via standard telephone lines.
•
Software for transfer over a digital telephone network via a suitably equipped
mobile phone.
•
Live Audio over ISDN or via a telephone hybrid.
•
Built-in USB support for the USB versions of Courier which operates directly
with Windows 2000 Explorer.
The audio can be transferred as data and loaded directly onto the editing and
playout system located at your studios. The recorded files are MS-DOS™ and
Windows™ compatible.
Continual software updates will ensure that Courier always has the latest features
and compatibility with other equipment. Software upgrades can be downloaded free
of charge from the Sonifex Web site, where you can also find details of compatible
systems.
Each Courier has a unique serial number that is not only affixed to the base of the
unit on a tamper proof label but is also blown into the memory devices of the
Courier. This serial number can not be changed once programmed and therefore
aids security and traceability of the machines because it can also be encoded into
the header format of “broadcast wave format” recordings.
