The Sony PCM-7030 DAT recorder offers high quality 2-channel digital recording with SMPTE time code.

This time code DAT recorder is ideally suited for interchanging audio between recording studios and video post production facilities, and is well suited for a wide- range of audio recording applications where time code synchronization and external control are required.

Monitoring : Modes: RAW (Read-After-Write) and RMW (Read-Modify-Write). In RAW mode, real-time off-tape monitoring is provided. In the RMW mode, the PCM-7030 allows enhanced punch-in and punch-out operation with crossfading at the punch-in and out points.

Variable Speed Playback: ±12.5%.

Variable Speed Recording: " pull up" and " pull down" ±1% recording sample rates permits automatic  ±0.01% speed change during playback, useful for post-production.

Memory Start Function: Three seconds of audio data from around the play starting point is stored in a stereo digital sound memory and this memorized sound is output instantly when the play key is pressed. This eliminates the delay, which is inherent in a rotary head system. The start point can be trimmed and the designated start point can be rehearsed any number of times. When operating the time code locate or start ID locate function in memory start mode, the PCM-7030 automatically stores that audio data around the location point for instant playback.
