January 18, 2001Digidesign's® new Edit Pack, an add-on option for Digidesign's
world-class ProControl® mixing control surface, is now available. Edit Pack
features two touch-sensitive motorized joysticks for surround sound panning, a
QWERTY keyboard and trackball, 8-channel high resolution metering, and many new,
dedicated editing switches allowing "single button" access to common
software features within Pro Tools®.
Edit Pack's powerful new features compliment current ProControl capabilities,
enhancing Pro Tools' ability to deliver a complete integrated multichannel/surround
recording, editing, mixing and processing system for audio production. Pro Tools|24
MIX, Edit Pack and ProControl offer extremely cost effective, yet powerful solutions
for world-class surround mixing and processing.
Edit Pack is the same size as standard ProControl Fader Pack, making integration
with existing systems straightforward. Edit Pack adds dedicated switches for audio
post-production and music-specific Pro Tools editing operations. Two motorized,
touch-sensitive joystick panners use Digidesign's patented DigiFader technology,
providing extremely high-quality feel and precision surround panning control.
Dedicated panner section switches offer access to channel mute, solo, joystick
assignment, X/Y divergence and more. LED displays include automation status for
panner automation and eight, 40-segment, dual-chroma meters for high-resolution
metering of Pro Tools output channel groups. A "laptop size" QWERTY
keyboard is included for data entry and "Command Keys Focus" editing
control, as is a large, dedicated Track Ball for navigating within Pro Tools sessions.
Like other components of the ProControl product family, Edit Pack connects to
the host CPU via standard 10BaseT Ethernet. This allows units to be shared throughout
a production facility. For more information, visit their web site at www.digidesign.com. |
