INTRODUCTION
The DD8
plus
is a magneto/optical-based, random-access digital film dubber designed to re-
place the current generation of magnetic film dubbers and multitrack tape machines used in
most film and video post production environments. It features virtually instant locating, conve-
nient removable media, flexible I/O and remote control options together with full data compatibil-
ity and seamless integration with the Akai DD1500 Recorder/Editor.
Being a dedicated system with no host computer required, its performance is optimised for ease
of use and speed of operation with no prior knowledge of computers and/or hard disk digital
recording required.
The DD8
plus
is a logical developmement from the original DD8 with new additional features
including support for 20/24-bit audio recording at sample rates up to 96kHz.
