Product Description

Call for pricing. PORTADRIVE: THE GLOBAL STANDARD Combining 24-bit/96kHz multichannel recording on a rugged, removable HDD with simultaneous multi-format DVD±R/RW/DVD-RAM/CD-R/RW recording to an external device, PORTADRIVE is the logical replacement for timecode DAT.

Because PORTADRIVE records audio in either AES31-3 or Pro Tools V5 session formats (using BWF or SDII audio files respectively), transferring recorded data directly to Mac or PC workstations is easy and fast using the PDRDSUF Fire/Wire/USB Docking Station.

All around the world, PORTADRIVE-equipped film and TV sound mixers are getting the big calls, as productions enjoy the considerable creative benefits and workflow efficiencies that only PORTADRIVE can deliver.
