Each rock-solid RADAR V Nyquist records 24 tracks of pristine Pro Tools-compatible 24 bit/96k timestamped Broadcast WAV audio. It uses SATA drives in removable sleds, or inexpensive external eSATA drives which are up to 6 times faster than FireWire. If your mix system doesn't have eSATA yet, use a drive enclosure with multiple connectors (eSATA/USB2), or do a quick copy over FTP to FireWire/USB2. Also, RADAR's Dual RAID mode can record directly to two identical drives for instant backup.
RADAR has everything in one unit for instant setup: the recorder, A/D, D/A, digital I/O (AES, S/PDIF, TDIF, ADAT), drives, DVD-RAM burner, timecode sync and power. Multiple units are easily linked together for 48 tracks, 72 or more. The dedicated hardware Session Controller offers one-function/one-button control for most tasks, and a real 48-channel, 20-segment meterbridge. An LCD monitor displays full waveforms, timecode and status. But there's no computer, no buggy software, and no track count reduction at high sample rates. It's the best of both worlds!
