The DigiCart/EX is more than an improvement on the original DigiCart® concept - it's a high-performance, Ethernet Audio system for integrated audio. No computer and no mouse-just the hands-on efficiency of real buttons for all operations. Ethernet Audio® is the link to Mac® and PC-based audio workstations. Now, audio programs produced on DAWs can be easily played, manually or from automation, with DigiCart/EX. When it's time to actually move an audio file, it's many times faster than real-time. Clear and easy to use, DigiCart/EX is designed from the ground up for broadcast professionals. Anyone who uses DigiCart II will know how to use DigiCart/EX. It offers better displays, better screen messages, and new networking features-but with the same familiar buttons. It's 100% compatible with earlier DigiCart recorders, plays files produced on them, and uses similar front panel commands. All earlier DigiCart files can be played- whether Dolby AC-2, 16-bit linear, 44.1 or 48K - so valuable program content and archives can be carried forward. DigiCart/EX can also create new files for use in DigiCart II, letting earlier hardware remain a valid part of a new facility.
