•Sample rate conversion is a necessary tool for post. Only the Deva incorporates internal
sample rate conversion allowing for simultaneous copies of production audio to be
recorded at multiple sample rates. The Deva is also the only recorder that can record
and playback at non-standard sample rates for any audio application.
•The Deva has the ability as a location recorder to playback and record at the same
time. This opens up many possibilities as a production tool. Music videos as well as film
and television production will all benefit from this capability.
Conventions
DEVA uses a high resolution PDA style touch screen to access software functions. In
most cases you can use your finger to make selections. You can also use any brand of
PDA stylus. In this manual the following conventions will be used:
TOUCH or SELECT are used interchangeably for making touch screen
selections.
TOGGLE is used when the selection rotates through a number of possible
selections. For example. SAMPLE RATE will toggle through 48, 48.048, 96,
192, etc…
Software Buttons and Menus are displayed in upper case, BOLD ITALIC,
letters. For Example: INPUT CONTROL on the MAIN MENU.
There are 2 ways to navigate from menu to menu. One is to push the MENU
button on the front panel. The other is to touch the STATUS display in any
screen. The STATUS display shows whether Deva is in STOP, PLAY or
RECORD mode. Touching this button or pushing the MENU button will not
change the transport status. It is safe to make this selection at any time while
recording.
