The JoeCo Blackbox BBR64-Dante Multi-track Recorder for professional AV networking will record and replay up to 64 channels of audio data from a Dante™ network, recording at 44.1kHz and 48kHz directly to Broadcast WAV files on an external USB2 drive. (Higher sample rate recording is also accommodated at a reduced track count.)
With computer free operation for ease of use it accommodates 56 channels of Dante plus 8 channels of analogue for audience or other ambience and communication with any of the hundreds of Dante™-enabled devices now in use worldwide. Designed to support standard network components and switches, the BBR64-DANTE will lock to or generate word clock, as well as locking to the incoming Dante audio stream. In addition to the PFL bus providing both hi-resolution metering and headphone monitoring, an additional “mix” feature has been added to the headphone output.
The recorder connects to any Dante-enabled network device from a range of console and converter manufacturers including Yamaha, MIDAS, DiGiCo and Focusrite to name but a few. The unit can be remotely controlled and monitored via JoeCoRemote for iPad and has a range of fail-safe features to protect your process even in the event of a power failure. Simple full color screens instantly communicate all you need to know during operation and an additional software add-on turns the recorder into a BlackBox Player with instant playback.
