2-channel portable digital recorder
The Nagra VII Broadcast is the go-to solution for broadcasters, offering an end-to-end solution for journalists and reporters. It includes all the tools you need to make a recording, edit it, compress it, transmit it via digital phone (ISDN) Wifi and deliver your report ready to be aired. It is a time-saving, stressless solution for journalists to enable them to focus on their editorial work and forget about technology.
Audio inputs
The Seven offers two analog audio inputs and a single stereo digital input. It will record in PCM linear audio at sampling frequencies up to 192 kHz or in MPEG-1 layer II compressed audio formats if the compression option is installed. The inputs are equipped with traditional Nagra microphone preamplifiers for dynamic and phantom +48V microphones and offer a range of switchable sensitivities to accommodate all common microphones. AES-42 microphones can also be used as the recorder can supply the necessary 10V dc supply voltage on the AES input. The analog LINE input will accept up to +24dB, allowing it to be connected to a standard audio mixer in the field.
Touchscreen
The Nagra Seven has a state-of-the-art color touchscreen, allowing greater flexibility in the display modes and screens, but also eliminating all switches which are the weakest link in modern electronics. The audio levels, current operating mode and status of the recorder are shown on the touchscreen display mounted on the front of the unit. The screen is sunlight readable and gives access to the entire menu structure of the recorder. Various programmable “short cuts” are available giving many personalization possibilities.
Editing and communication
If the optional editing option is installed, then graphic editing of the audio files is possible on the main display. Once the editing of the audio material is complete, files can be transmitted to the studio either over IP (through the ethernet connection using the File Transfer Protocol “FTP” connection) or via a GSM phone using 3G/4G or by Wifi (if the option is installed).
Media
The Nagra Seven is fitted with an internal 16GB micro SD flash memory that can be increased by the user if desired. The main extractable media is an SD memory card which inserts into the slot on the left side of the recorder (see picture above).
USB 2.0 port
A micro-AB USB port allows the unit to be connected to a computer for file transfer. With an interface adapter, the same port can also be used to connect an external device such as a USB memory stick or computer keyboard for data entry.
