The ZFR800 is all you need on the go. It records time code stamped audio on instantly removable memory cards so your audio can get where it needs to be in a flash.
The ZFR800 is revolutionary in its features and design. It gives you the professional look you deserve with an ergonomic camouflaged keypad for one handed operation of all recording functions. It's made from lightweight aluminum with no company logos to get in the way of the story being told.
The recording system is fault tolerant with an infinite pre-record buffer mode so you never miss a word. Markers are instantly set with the push of a button to identify key points in memory for fast transfer of recorded material. If a memory card is ejected or the unit is accidentally turned off while recording there will be no audio loss prior to the point of interruption.
The ZFR800 boasts a full-featured time code reader / generator with accuracy of 1 frame every 12 hours. It can also auto-detect the time code frame rate with the internal time code receiver when jammed remotely with the optional IFB800 transmitter.
File transfer software that runs on both MAC and PC operating systems is included with the ZFR800. On the ZFR800 audio files are automatically recorded at 48 kHz / 24 bits. The transfer software utilizes sample rate conversion to obtain the sample rate and bit depth of choice when files are imported to your computer. Any number of versions of the same recording can be made from a single file.
There are two time code stamped file types to choose from: BWF (Broadcast Wave file) or MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3). MP3 files are great for fast transmission over the internet to a transcription house.
The ZFR800 is compatible with any Shure(R)* screw-on capsule** giving you the sonic profile of your choice.
