2005 NENA Expo Booth #844
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA, June 25, 2005 - Eventide unveiled today the DIR911T, its next generation instant recall recorder to communications professionals at the 2005 NENA Expo. With two or four channels of digital recording and Eventide's IntelliClear™ speed control, the DIR911T offers users unparalleled functionality for playback and recording tasks in a compact, stand-alone unit.
"In today's 911 call center, the difference between life and death can often be the speed and the quality of the information retrieved from the instant recall recorder," said Gordon Moore, Eventide Communications Division general manager. The Eventide DIR911T instant recall recorder, based on the Linux OS, was built with this in mind. Eventide has taken instant recall ease-of-use to new heights; the DIR911T is a standalone unit capable of playing back messages at variable speeds quickly and easily using dedicated buttons and a jog shuttle wheel to control the speed. "Under the extreme pressure of a call truncated by disaster," Moore added, "the 911 operator has to be able to play back the call fragment and determine what action to take in a split-second - there is no margin for error."
Eventide, having built a worldwide reputation for audio signal processing for broadcast and recording for over three decades, has brought this expertise to bear in the DIR911T. Featuring IntelliClearTM, the DIR911T's variable speed adjustment is automatically pitch corrected providing enhanced intelligibility.
The DIR911T offers two telephone/auxiliary recording channels, each with 60 minutes of recording capability, and comes with a built-in 10-minute UPS. This can be expanded by adding two additional telephone/auxiliary channels, for a total of four channels of recording with 60 minutes each. Recording storage can be expanded to two or four hours per channel. The DIR911T comes as a desktop unit which is also rack mountable in a single- or dual-unit configuration.
