Up For Your Consideration
1-360 Systems E-3000 DigiCart/E Ethernet Audio Recorder
Had 2 And Sold The First One.
LAST ONE!!
Was really going to hold on to this one but need to let it go($$).
To make this unit one I would even think about purchasing is that I have totally gone through this and cleaned all connections, switches, plugs and also installed a new power supply so you should be good to go for many years.
Comes With The User Manual & A New IEC Power Cable.
NEW POWER SUPPLY INSTALLED, WHY NOT A NEW POWER CABLE ALSO!
OVER-ALL GREAT CONDITION!
30 DAY FREE RETURN!
Voltage select switch inside. (115-230 VAC)(In my pictures)
Right now it's set up for 115VAC.

FROM 360 SYSTEMS
Overview
The 360 Systems' new DigiCart/E Ethernet Audio recorder is more than an improvement on the digital cart machine concept — it's the foundation of the new, high-performance, Ethernet Audio system for television broadcasters. DigiCart/E builds on a decade of experience gained delivering DigiCart II recorders to television broadcasters.
DigiCart/E is 100% compatible with earlier DigiCart recorders, can play files produced on them, and uses similar front panel commands.
A key feature of the 360 Systems' Ethernet Audio™ network is the link to Mac and PC-based audio workstations. Audio programs produced on DAWs can be easily accessed for playback on DigiCart/E.
Complete File Compatibility with DigiCart II
All earlier DigiCart files can be played – whether Dolby AC-2, 16-bit linear, 44.1 or 48K – so valuable program content and archives can be carried forward. DigiCart/E can also create new files for use in DigiCart/II and Instant Replay.
Make Digital Transfers to the New DigiCart/E
· The standard 100MB Zip disks for DigiCart II and Instant Replay still move files back and forth to DigiCart/E. DigiCart/E's newer 250MB Zip drive also writes 100 or 250MB disks.
· The original D-NET file transfer protocol using AES ports has been maintained, making it easy to move valuable files from DigiCart/II into the new DigiCart/E. DigiCart's 75-ohm AES ports on BNC connectors can transfer files as far as 1,000 feet. Files from DigiCart/II or Instant Replay can be sent to the DigiCart/E, and stored directly to the server if desired, allowing material from those units to be used and backed up on the server.
Editing Tools
DigiCart/E provides a faster way to edit audio. DigiCart/E offers these non-destructive editing features:
· Head trims · Tail trims · Fade-ins · Fade-outs · Pre-roll time · Gain change
Edits can always be undone, and trim points can be easily changed for a future re-edit of the cut. DigiCart/E provides clear indications of edit points and the present location within a cut.
File Interchange with Digital Audio Workstations
The new DigiCart/E employs wave files (.WAV) as a new native format. It is compatible with most popular workstations, including Pro Tools® using either WAV or Broadcast Wave (BWF) formats. 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.
Local Audio Storage, Plus Network Storage
DigiCart/E provides an important extra level of reliability by storing important audio files on its own local hard drive, separate from the file server. For example, by optionally copying files to a DigiCart/E, playback is virtually guaranteed, regardless of the status of the audio network. Redundancy can be a key part of your system design. For example, should a file commonly used by Master Control be lost on the file server, it could be played from the local hard drive on Master Control's DigiCart.
New Audio Standards for Television Production and Broadcast
24-Bit Audio Quality
DigiCart/E’s 24-bit audio circuit design closely approaches 117 dB of dynamic range from the analog inputs. Our Bit-for-Bit™ digital design also maintains 24-bit integrity through AES ports, assuring error-free reproduction not only of standard PCM files, but also of Dolby AC-3 or Dolby-E recordings.
Sample Rate Compatibility
Although most users will work at a 48 kHz sample rate, DigiCart/E is equally adept at 44.1, 88.2 and 96k. The high-quality sample rate converter can be positioned at either the digital input or output, permitting conversion of any sample rate to 48K, or any other rate. Now 44.1, 88.2, and 96k music masters received from compact disks or an audio workstation can be changed to standard 48K broadcast files.
Word-Length Compatibility
DigiCart/E plays files of any word length – 16, 20, or 24-bit. In addition to recording new material at 24-bits, it can also deliver 16-bit digital audio for compatibility with DAT machines or earlier DigiCart recorders.
Mixed File Types Allowed
DigiCart/E can store audio in many different formats, and play them consecutively without changing machine setup or output sample rate. Any desired output format, such as 48K—16-bit, can be selected, regardless of how the original file was recorded.
High-Speed Transfers Through Ethernet Audio
When it's time to actually move a file to or from the server, the Ethernet Audio network can move files many times faster than real-time.
Serial and GPI Control
A variety of serial and parallel ports adapt DigiCart/E to most facilities:
Two RS-422 serial ports operate with standard ES-Bus protocols; one is compatible with DigiCart II, with our new RC-Series remote controls and with existing DigiCart interfaces to automation systems. The other supports Peripheral Bus "E-MEM" commands (in Sony or Grass Valley formats), giving popular video switchers direct control of DigiCart/E.
Five optically isolated GPI inputs provide control of play, stop, record, pause, and loop. These conform to the DigiCart II connector* for easy upgrades.
DigiCart/E Uses a Time-Proven User Interface
DigiCart recorders are hands-on machines. Its physical buttons, knobs and display make it a good choice for fast-paced operations, with direct access to frequently used functions. The new DigiCart/E continues a tenyear industry operating standard. Many users will never have to open the Operations Manual to make full use of DigiCart/E.
Qualified Network Components
In order to guarantee predictable performance and knowledgeable factory support, 360 Systems qualifies various components and configurations for Ethernet Audio systems. At the present time, Ethernet Audio Systems are commissioned and tested at the factory to insure that the setup is consistent and that the server is fully functional.
In the interest of extending the flexibility of the system and further understanding of it, this manual details some configurations that are not yet qualified. While 360 Systems will always endeavor to support its customers in the best way possible, we cannot guarantee the performance of, or technical support for, systems that use unqualified configurations or components, or that run additional software, drivers or applications. Implementation of configurations and use of network components not qualified by 360 Systems is done at the sole risk and responsibility of the system user. See Appendix F - Qualified Network Components on page 63 for a list of qualified components, servers and configurations available at this writing, or contact your 360 Systems sales representative for a current listing.
