360 Systems' DigiCart/E Ethernet Audio recorder builds on the success of the DigiCart II and delivers a new, high-performance Ethernet Audio system for broadcasters. DigiCart/E is 100% compatible with earlier DigiCart recorders and uses similar front panel commands - it's fast, straightforward, and easy to use. And with the new Ethernet network, audio programs produced on DAWs can be easily accessed for playback on DigiCart/E.

All earlier DigiCart files can be played, so valuable program content and archives can be carried forward. DigiCart/E can also create new files for use in DigiCart II, so earlier hardware investments remain a valid part of any new facility. DigiCart/E's newer 250 MB Zip drive also reads/writes original DigiCart 100 MB disks. The original D-NET file transfer protocol using AES ports has been maintained, making it easy to move valuable files into the new DigiCart/E. AES/EBU ports perform digital machine-to-machine transfers.

DigiCart/E provides a faster way to edit audio. The weighted front-panel jog wheel makes it easy to place marks or set time points. DigiCart/E offers non-destructive editing of head trims, tail trims, fade-ins, fade-outs, pre-roll time, and gain change. Edits can always be undone, and trim points can be easily changed for a future re-edit of the cut. Using Ethernet as the file-exchange medium, DAW files can be exported in .WAV format to the 360 Systems' Ethernet Audio server, where they are immediately available from any DigiCart/E terminal. Broadcase Wave (.BWF) format is also supported.
