Overview
Both the DEVA IV and DEVA V are identical in operation. There are some slight differences between the
two and these are called out in this manual. For this reason, the DEVA V is used throughout the manual
when describing a function or feature. Unless noted, this also applies to the DEVA IV recorder.

capabilities with ease of use and a short learning curve. It is easy to setup and adapt to the changing envi-
ronment around you. Whether it is an on the cart’s record
er for motion picture use, an ’over the shoulder’
recorder for a documentary, or a master recorder for a live orchestral concert, the DEVA V enables you to
record up to 10 audio tracks with 24 bit resolution at sampling rates up to 192 kHz.

IV allows 8 audio tracks with 24-bit resolution at a sampling rate up to 96 kHz.
