Chris Munro - Sound Mixer
One of the world’s leading
DVD-RAM is robust, resilient, removable and has a longevity
that a hard disc simply cannot offer. Quite simply it is the
best professional mastering recording format available, as
the rapid take up in the film industry shows.
Production Sound Mixers and a
BAFTA and Oscar™ award winner,
Chris used Fostex Timecode DVD-
RAM technology for audio acquisition
on the latest James Bond hit ‘Die
Another Day’. Chris has

However, the DVD-RAM technology needed a serious research
and development process before it could handle the rigours and
demands of multiple track, timecode-locked audio.
pioneered the ‘magless dailies’
process, (see bottom left),
which saved the production a
small fortune.
Always in demand, Chris is
recognised as setting quality
standards in the film industry.
And that’s exactly what Fostex undertook when developing the DV40, the world’s first 4-
track Timecode DVD-RAM master recorder.
REFINING THE TECHNOLOGY - CONTINUOUS DEVELOPMENT
The DV40 was, and is, a revelation. Here is a rackmount unit which can record up to 4
tracks of digital audio to removable DVD-RAM UDF discs in either BWF or SDII formats
and with full timecode facilities. A machine which elegantly addresses the challenges
presented by today’s ‘random access’ requirements.
TV Production
Joe Kenworthy - NYPD Blue
Sound mixer Joe uses Fostex
Timecode DVD-RAM machines for
audio acquisition on the ever-
popular NYPD Blue TV series. “The
big thing for me is that I get a digital
file from the beginning, and all our
digital editing machines can
take those files and begin to
work, with less transfer time.
We are using a first-generation
signal all the way through the
chain, which keeps quality high,
and it’s quicker, with no
The reaction from sound mixers, post production facilities, broadcast professionals and
recording houses was outstanding: they could see that the DV40 could save them time,
could enhance their workflow, could improve their productivity.
But that was only the start - from the moment of launch, Fostex made it clear that the
DV40 would benefit from continual development with users encouraged to request
features and suggest improvements resulting in software updates being made available
conversions involved.”
PORTABLE TIMECODE DVD-RAM
With the DVD-RAM technology ‘proved’ in a standalone machine, it was time for a
portable solution. A PD-2 / PD-4 user survey and wide-ranging feedback from DV40
users yielded a wish list of features which included: Six audio tracks, highly accurate
timecode, a minimum 10 second pre-record buffer, flexible power requirements and
management, slate microphone, auxiliary send / return, power for mic receivers, a high
quality mixer and a user interface in keeping with their existing DAT recorders.
Fostex listened to what the sound mixers wanted and involved them in the development
process every step of the way.
Post Production

Jay has been a production sound
mixer for the past 25 years and is
one of three owners of Shooters Post
& Transfer, a Philadelphia based
production facility.
“Every day we transfer 1/4"
production sound to our DV-40
for film transfer. It turns what
was once a slow, tedious sync
session into a fast easy job.
Once the field sound is on DVD-
RAM we no longer have to wait
for the audio to sync. It’s always
right there.”
The result is the PD-6 Location Recorder.

DVD Location Recorder
When Fostex embarked on the process to design a successor to the industry standard PD-2
and PD-4 portable timecode DAT machines, we knew we had set ourselves no easy task.
Having invented both timecode and portable timecode DAT, Fostex location recorders had
become, and still are, the most widely used and respected DAT machines for film &
television sound production around the world, helping their users earn respect, gain work
and to win many coveted international awards.

files/takes for easy identification leading to
quick imports referenced in the EDL
■
■
Up to 100 cue points per file/take
Alpha numeric keypad for quick file/take &
track naming, EDL manipulation, location, etc.
That’s why we knew it was important to follow the design and philosophy processes that
had made our previous machines the first choice of sound mixing professionals. Namely, to
prove the technology in a stationary, stand-alone format and obtain comprehensive & wide-
ranging user-feedback prior to taking it out into the field.

course, the user interface.

REVOLUTIONARY REMOVABLE MEDIA
Location recorders need a removable media, it was one of
the requests that we heard from the field again and again.
Part of the success of the portable timecode DAT format
was the fact that at the end of the shoot, the days work’s
there in your hand. We knew that normal DVD-RAM drives,
are not really built for the rigours of location recording and
certainly not suited to being slung over a shoulder.
drive. A drive specially developed for the rigours of
portable use and a drive designed from the ground-up to
provide vibration stability, high speed access and most
importantly, high reliability.
Already proving itself in motion pictures, tv productions
and outside broadcast, the removable 8cm DVD-RAM
cartridges provide two 1.46GB sides, offering, for example,
108 minutes per disc of 4 track recording at 48KHz/16-bit.
And the discs fit right into conventional DVD drives.

individual defeatable limiter, with

The most ingenious part of the mixer
Therefore we decided upon a brand-new 8cm DVD-RAM
however is the routing capability: working in conjunction
with each channel’s level control mounted on the face of
the PD-6, the ‘Disc Feed’ switch allows the recording
section of the machine to derive its audio ‘feed’ PRE the
channel level control, meaning levels are set once with the
earlier trim pot, leaving the front level controls for bus
mixing; POST of the channel level control providing for
regular level adjustment on the easily-accessible controls;
or from the Stereo Bus, routed by the PAN switch providing
not only simple stereo mixing of all six channels, but also
by using a combination of the modes, parallel mix (guide)
tracks can be made whilst recording of either five tracks
(mono guide track) or four tracks (stereo guide track). We
call these "1+5" and "2+4" recording modes as separate
BWF files are created. Additional features such as PFL
monitoring and peak led indication on each channel
complete this very flexible mixer.
