Fostex have released preliminary information for the DV40, a new DVD format master recorder. Designed to accomodate the higher bit and samplerates offered by the latest HD systems, the DV40 will record at up to 192Khz! The unit offers high reliability by employing a ‘Verify/Write’ mode which examines all data recorded, all of the time, while in record mode. There's a choice of recording track modes: MONO, STEREO or MULTI (4trk). Various sampling frequencies can be selected: 44.1/48/88.2/96/176.4/192kHz2 and 0.1% pull up/down can be applied to any of the selected rates. DV40 offers internal file conversion between 4trk or STEREO files and Multi-track mono files. File editing modes offer non-destructive edit functions such as Copy, Paste, Insert, Cut and Erase.
