Gordonmoore1 Posted March 10, 2020 Report Posted March 10, 2020 Good morning all, Lectrosonics announces the release of the MTCR Miniature Time Code Recorder. The MTCR is compact AAA powered recorder with TC input and the industry standard 5 pin servo input common to Lectrosonics Transmitters. In production now. The big difference between this design and the previous PDR is that the headphone jack allows setup and playback but shuts off during recording. https://www.lectrosonics.com/lectrosonics-introduces-the-mtcr-miniature-time-code-recorder.html Quote
Gordonmoore1 Posted March 10, 2020 Author Report Posted March 10, 2020 Just now, drpro said: Got stereo? Future? The SPDR is the stereo recorder - not as small (two inputs!) but can run 21 hours on AA lithiums. Available now. https://www.lectrosonics.com/SPDR-Stereo-Personal-Digital-Recorder/product.html Quote
JamesB Posted March 10, 2020 Report Posted March 10, 2020 What is the difference between this new device and the original but now discontinued PDR? Is this just a rebranding with the auto muted headphone jack? Quote
drpro Posted March 11, 2020 Report Posted March 11, 2020 I guess I was hoping for a stereo in this form. Smaller, lighter, faster. Quote
Gordonmoore1 Posted March 11, 2020 Author Report Posted March 11, 2020 This unit uses a different microprocessor (the PDR micro was discontinued) and the headphone jack mutes during recording. Otherwise, it is functionally identical to the PDR. Regarding stereo - in that form factor, the battery life would be dismal due to the increased current draw of a second channel. The SPDR, while larger has stereo inputs plus AES in and 21 hours battery life running off two AA Lithiums. It's about the size of our old LM series body pack. Quote
chriskellett Posted March 11, 2020 Report Posted March 11, 2020 Why a new recorder with less function than the older unit? Quote
