SEAMLESS INTEGRATION
PD-6 8cm DVD-RAM discs can be played out on a DV-40 by
simply removing them from the caddy and placing in the
DVD-RAM tray. It‘s this kind of simple and seamless
integration which makes the PD-6 / DV40 such a
formidable production team.
The DV40 provides high precision scrubbing for PD-6 DVD-
RAM discs, easy ethernet networking plus extensive audio /
timecode manipulation.
Plus, with it’s on-board Ethernet networking capabilities
recorded files can easily be transferred around the post
house’s media network.
In addition to UDF PD-6/DV40 files, DV40 can also read files
created on other manufacturers recorders in FAT16, BWF
Interleaved format complete with timecode information.

INCREDIBLY WELL CONNECTED
Each of the four audio channels feature balanced XLR
inputs individually switchable between +4dBu and –10dBV
and the highest quality 24bit/192kHz AD converters. The
outputs are provided on both balanced XLR again with
24bit/192kHz DA converters as well as 1/4" unbalanced
phone jacks for easy monitoring hook-up.
Flexible headphone monitoring is provided on the front
panel with switchable source selection for Track 1+2,
Track 3+4, Track 1+3/2+4 and each track individually.
Digital input and output for all four channels is taken care
of via the AES/EBU format (doubling up for 176.4/192kHz)
on XLR connectors, while the standard complement of
timecode, video sync and word clock inputs and outputs
are also present. Interoperability and system integration is
taken care of via 9 and 15 pin RS-422 connectors, the
latter also providing a 12V 400mA power source for future
remote control applications. Both these interfaces comply
to the Sony 9-Pin protocol for standard VTR emulation and
Fostex’s own extended instruction set.
The 10Base-T/100-BaseTX Ethernet (RJ-45) port and a
firmware-selectable GPI (General Purpose Interface) for
remote control, fader starts and file search rounds off this
most comprehensive set of interface capabilities.

files will be available via your media network.
JUST LIKE TAPE
The large high-resolution (200 pulses per
rotate) jog/shuttle dial and clever digital
tracking technology result in incredible
audio scrubbing.
It really is just like using tape.
