Jon Tatooles of SoundDevices goes over the 633 portable field audio mixer, the PIX 270i rack-mount video recorder and the 970 rack-mount audio recorder for Craig Chartier and DV Info Net.

Here are the product descriptions mentioned in this interview:

The 633 is a compact, six-input mixer with integrated 10-track recorder featuring PowerSafe™ technology. It offers six analog inputs and records to SD and CompactFlash memory cards. The 633 is designed for audio professionals requiring go-anywhere portability, without compromising recording or mixing capability.

The PIX 270i features a powerful hardware scaler and frame rate converter. Up, down, cross-conversion and pulldown removal give users the ability to record files in a customer-requested rate, even rates not supported by the camera. The PIX 240i also supports aspect ratio conversion, HD to SD and SD to HD.

The 970 records 64 channels of monophonic or polyphonic 24-bit, 48 kHz WAV files from any of its 144 available input connections. Connections include 64 channels of Ethernet-based Dante, 64 channels of optical or coaxial MADI, eight channels of line-level analog, and eight channels of AES digital. Any input can be assigned to any track. 32-track recording at 96 kHz is supported.
