The ultra-compact 744T records and plays back audio to and from its internal hard drive, CompactFlash, or external drives, making field recording simple and fast. It writes and reads uncompressed PCM audio at 16 or 24 bits with sampling rates between 32 kHz and 192 kHz. It also writes and reads data compressed FLAC and audio compressed MP2 and MP3 files. The time code implementation makes the 744T ready for any recording job—from over- the-shoulder to cart-based production. Designed specifically for high bandwidth, high bit rate digital recording, these preamps set a new standard for frequency response linearity, low distortion performance, and low noise. No other recorder on the market matches its size and feature set. In addition, its learning curve is quite short—powerful does not mean complicated. While the 744T is a very capable recorder by itself, it truly excels when used in conjunction with an outboard audio mixer such as Sound Devices’ own 442 or 302. Hard drive and CompactFlash are highly reliable, industry standard, and easily obtainable. With the ability to write to an external drive, a low-cost, portable medium can be turned in to post production. The removable, rechargeable battery is a standard Sony-compatible Li-ion camcorder cell. The 744T interconnects with Windows and Mac OS computers for convenient data transfer and backup.

Before recording, please familiarize yourself with the product. Several settings should be verified or set based on individual recording needs. The metal tabs on the mount line up with the electrical contacts on the battery. From the factory, the battery may not have a charge, so external DC may be needed for initial operation and charging. Connect the included AC-to-DC power adapter to the DC input plug to power and charge the battery. Press and hold the power key to turn off the unit. The single layer menu structure allows for very quick navigation and selection of functions. To enter the setup menu press the front panel key. Once in the setup menu, the following conventions are shared for navigating among selections and to select specific parameters. Use it to escape out of the setup menus. Its push-to-select function duplicates the check mark in most menus. Each of the 744T’s four inputs (1, 2, 3, 4) can be assigned to any of the four tracks (A, B, C, D). These 256 possible routing combinations are shown on the front panel with 16 blue LEDs. Illuminated LEDs indicate input-to-track assignment. The 744T has six often-used presets for quick s etup of input-to-track routing combinations. Note the routing combinations on the blue LEDs with each successive press. Sequential presses of the input key will eventually cycle to the custom routing option (see Input to Track Routing, pg. 18 ). From the custom input routing menu any input can be assigned to any track, including multiple inputs assigned to a single track. Enter the setup menu to verify recording settings. Bit depth and sampling rate are displayed on the LCD panel. Skip this section if time code is not being used. For film production, typical the time code rates are 30 fps non-drop (US) or 25 fps (EU). For standard definition video projects, use either 29.97 or 29.97 non-drop. For high-definition projects, use either 23.976 or 29.97.http://imagroupco.com/resources/original/dbz-shin-budokai-manual.xml The 744T is a record-priority device— pressing the record key cancels all functions, except file-based operations, and immediately begins recording a new file. When record is pressed, the red record LED illuminates to confirm record mode. The filename on the LCD display shows the currently recorded file. Push and hold the STOP key to end recording. Press the key to begin file playback from the beginning of the file. The last file recorded is the default file ready for playback. The default playback source is the storage volume highlighted on the LCD display. Use the fast-forward key or rewind key to step through files in the folder, or press the stop key to exit playback mode. Reports have come to our attention of isolated problems when hot-plugging IEEE 1394 (FireWire) devices. (Hot-plugging refers to making connections when one or more of the devices—including the computer—is on.) When hot-plugging, there are rare occurrences where either the FireWire device or the FireWire port on the host computer is rendered permanently inoperable. From our experience, any FireWire connection which carries power is susceptible to this type of damage. Use the appropriate FireWire cable (6-pin to 4-pin or 6-pin to 6-pin) for interconnection. Files on the 744T can be treated as if they are local files, including renaming files, copying, deleting and playing directly from the 744T hard drive. The 744T will enter FireWire transfer, indicated by FIREWIRE CONNECTION on the LCD display. All functions of the 744T are stopped while the 744T is connected to a computer through FireWire. On Mac OS platforms, drag the drive icons to the trash. On Windows platforms, use the “Disconnect External Media” icon in the system tray. In Mac OS, drag the disk icon from the desktop to the trash or hit -e. In Windows OS, highlight the disk icon, rightclick, and select “eject”. It is best practice to “eject” the 744T volume from the computer to maintain file integrity ( see FireWire File Transfer ). This allows the unit to be placed in a production bag along with field mixers and wireless transmitters and receivers. When flashing, indicates that digital input is selected but no valid digital clock signal is present. Normal mic input range is from 25 dB to 70 dB, low gain mic range is from 10 dB to 55 dB, line input range is from ? 6 dB to 18 dB. For line-level inputs, this control can be defeated and gain can be setup menucontrolled. If the LCD display shows “locked” when the pot is turned, gain control of the line-level input is menucontrolled. When inputs are linked as a stereo pair, Input 1 Gain controls the gain of both inputs. When inputs are linked as a stereo pair, Input 2 Gain controls left-to-right balance. When in menu mode, used to move up through the menu selections. Pressing the HDD and MENU keys simultaneously brings up the time code jam menu. Frequency, tone level, and routing are controlled in the Setup Menu. When in the Setup Menu use the TONE key to enter Setup Menu options and select parameters when the check mark appears in the upper right hand corner of the LCD. A solid blue LED indicates an input is routed to a track.Hold down the INPUT key and press one of the four indicated soft keys to mute inputs. Pressing the STOP key and the INPUT select key cycles through the In the custom routing menu any input can be routed to any track. (See Metering ballistics are selected in the setup menu. Press and hold to power down. LED flashes when external power is connected and the removable battery is charging; illuminates solid when battery is fully charged. LED flashes when the removable battery or external DC is in a low-voltage state. Pressing key during recording can set a cue marker or start a new file, as selected in the setup menu. In Record Pause mode the STOP key will pause the recording, pressing it twice will finalize the recording.http://oxadreamland.com/images/740n-samsung-service-manual.pdf In playback mode, a single press pauses playback (play-pause), allowing audio scrubbing with the FF and REW keys. Another press of the key enters play-stop mode where the FF and REW keys select files for playback from the current directory. One more press of the key exits playback mode. In the setup menu the stop key is also used to exit from any menu, returning to the main display. Hold the key and turn the Rotary Switch to adjust the brightness of LEDs. In menu mode, functions as the cancel key. Playpause indicated by flashing A-time on LCD. Fast forward rate increases the longer the key is held. In play-stop mode (indicated by flashing filename on LCD) selects the next file in the record folder (either daily folder or main folder). If pressed immediately after recording is stopped, the most recently recorded file is played back. Playpause indicated by flashing A-time on LCD. Reverse playback rate increases the longer the key is held. In play-stop mode (indicated by flashing filename on LCD) selects the previous file in the record folder (either daily folder or main folder). The selected medium shown in white type will be the destination when the button is pressed. Press-and-hold to toggle between available media. If only one media is present, press-and-hold is disabled. Pressing simultaneously with MENU opens the time code jam menu. When lit, the headphone circuit is overloading. Reduce headphone level. In link mode input 1 potentiometer controls gain, input 2 potentiometer controls left-to-right balance.Flashing indicates media problem. IN (internal hard drive), CF (CompactFlash), EX (external FireWire device). High-pass only operates when the input is set to microphone level. Phantom can be applied to microphone or line-level signals (menu-selected). If constantly lit, the microphone input is being hit with too “hot” of a signal. Reduce the input sensitivity until limiting occurs infrequently. Also used to indicate that an input is muted. Button lock prevents unintentional changing of settings or record status.The 744T displays any button lock options enabled. The Record key is kept active so the user can initiate recording after entering this mode and enter cue markers. To stop recording in this mode, you must disengage the panel lock and hit the stop key. External power overrides battery power when present. Graphical bar for relative level and numeric indicator for precise voltage measurement. In playback-stop mode, flashing file name indicates that the fastforward and rewind keys can be used to step through files in the current playback directory. The A- time and the time code display can be exchanged if a large time code display is needed. This display can be set to reverse or flash during recording. Flashes in playback-pause mode. This information is written as the creation and modification date for generated audio files. In playback, shows the file bit depth. In playback shows the file sampling rate. If a file has time code information embedded, the playback frame rate is indicated. If external time code is connected and the external rate differs from the rate set internally, the time code rate will flash. Sources and selection order are user selectable in the setup menus. In play mode, the display shows the play file’s time code information (if available). If non-time code files are playing, the display shows dashes. The time code display can be exchanged with the A- time display via a user menu selection. Bar graph indicates amount of record time remaining on the external FireWire volume. Numbers show time in hours and minutes based on the presently selected number of record tracks, sample frequency, bit rate, and file type. Numbers show time in hours and minutes based on the presently selected of number of record tracks, sample frequency, bit rate, and file type. Numbers show time in hours and minutes based on the presently selected number of record tracks, sample frequency, bit rate, and file type. Highlighted media descriptor indicates media selected for record monitoring, playback or file directory display. Markers set by pressing the record key (option must be selected in setup menu). In playback mode, displays cue points numerically as they are reached in a file. Input type set with switch above. Active-bal- anced analog microphoneor line-level input for input 1. Transformer-balanced two-channel AES3 input (1 and 2). Input type set with switch above. Active-bal- anced analog microphoneor line-level input for input 2. Transformer-balanced two-channel AES3 input (3 and 4). Can drive headphones from 8 to 1000 ohm impedances to very high levels. Tip-left, ring-right, sleeve-ground. NOTE: the 744T is capable of producing eardamaging levels in headphones. Signal source is identical to the Master Output Bus. Tip-left, ring-right, sleeveground. Supports sample rates up to 200 kHz. Also used to attach external FAT32-for- matted FireWire drives to the 744T for direct recording and copying. Word clock, machine transport, and time code are carried on the C. Link connector. Word input accepts sampling rates between 32 kHz and 192 kHz. Word clock output is the rate that box is running. There is no sample rate conversion onboard the 744T. Signal source is menu-selected and is identical to the Analog Master Output Bus signal. DC ground at both pins-1 and 2 is at the same potential as chassis and signal ground. Useful for securing the recorder to a fixed object with a compatible computer lock. Also accepts batteries conforming to this mount. Numerous capacities, from 1500 mAh to 7000 mAh are available. With the pin pushed in, slide the L- or M-Series battery to the right to release the battery. Inputs can be analog or digital sources. Analog inputs 1 and 2 use XLR connectors; inputs 3 and 4 use TA3 connections. Digital inputs can be either AES3 (balanced at the XLR) or AES3id (on BNC) inputs. The input signal type is selected using slide switch above the XLR input connector. The setup menu has additional input control. The BNC input signal type is set in the menu settings INPUT1,2:SOURCE and This option shuts down all circuitry associated with an input pair to reduce power draw and extend battery runtime. When an input pair is disabled, the digital input LEDs associated with the pair will slowly flash. In playback-only applications, both input pairs can be shut down to maximize power-efficiency and battery runtime. These inputs accept balanced or unbalanced micor line-level inputs. When at mic-level, gain is controlled by the front panel potentiometers. Gain for the line level inputs can be controlled by the front panel potentiometers or menu settings. Line input gain is controlled in 0.1 dB steps. Using line-level inputs with microphones is useful in high SPL environments such as concert recording. Make certain to turn off phantom power with line level output devices susceptible to damage from DC. If the inputs are in line level mode, phantom power will not activate from the shortcut keys and must be activated from the menus. Phantom power is linked when the inputs are linked. (See Input Linking) In normal operation, with proper gain settings, the limiters should rarely engage. When activated, these limiters will prevent unusually high input signal levels from clipping the analog input stage of the preamp. The front panel LIM LED ( ) shows that the limiter is engaged. Limiter activity is The input limiters are active only with mic-level inputs. The limiters are engaged by (factory) default. The gain control adjusts an analog gain stage and functions similarly to the input trim on a mixing console or stand-alone microphone preamplifier. Gain is controllable over two ranges, normal and low. The NORMAL range controls input gain from 24.3 dB to 67.4 dB of gain. The fade to off options allow for fader-like control of your gain. NORMAL FADES TO OFF provides a gain range of off or 0 to 67.4 dB and LOW FADES TO OFF pro- When the high-pass is engaged on an input, its front-panel LED illuminates to indicate it is active ( ). The first pole of the high-pass circuit is an analog filter at 40 Hz, 6 dB per octave and is part of the microphone preamplifier circuit. Additional poles of high-pass filtering are done in DSP. The high-pass is selected for each input independently. Press and hold the LCD backlight key and press the menu key for channel 1 high-pass. Press and hold the LCD backlight key and press the HDD key to toggle channel 2 high-pass. The high pass filters are linked when the inputs are linked. (See Input Linking) When set for front panel control in the user menu, LINEINPUT1:GAIN and LINEINPUT2:GAIN controls in the user menu are lined out and not acces- When linked, the channel 1 front panel potentiometer controls the signal level of both inputs, and the channel 2 pot controls the left-to-right balance of the pair. When the inputs are linked, their peak limiters are linked, as well. Input 1 is for Mid signal, input 2 for Side signal. Engaging and disengaging phantom power or the high pass filters on input one will force the same function upon input two. Engaging or disengaging phantom power or the high pass filter on input two causes no effect on input one. To record discrete M and S signals, do not link for MS, but monitor the MS signal in headphones. These inputs have few controls and are typically fed from the output of a mixer or preamplifier. Gain resolution is in 0.1 dB increments. While adjusting the input sensitivity, the meters will show the relative signal level present on each input on the meters. If the LED is flashing, digital input is selected but a no valid digital clock is received. Input signals are in pairs, signals on BNC 1 appear at inputs 1 and 2, signals on BNC 2 appear at inputs 3 and 4. To input analog audio while using the AES3id signal as a digital clock source, you must select analog in the input source menu selection for the appropriate inputs. This is indicated by a highlighted block on the main LCD display to the right of the bit depth and sampling rate indicators. Recording bit depth is not affected by the external digital source. Loss of the digital signal will cause the 744T to revert to its internally set sampling rate, even while recording. The portion of the file recorded after the loss of signal may not play back properly. Once recording has begun, unused digital inputs are muted, digital signals that appear on them after the record key has been pressed will not be recorded or affect the sampling rate of the 744T. If the 744T detects a digital signal on the BNC inputs and locks to that signal, a digital signal applied to the XLR input will be ignored until the first digital signal is removed. Delay time per input is selectable in tenths of a millisecond (0.1 msec) steps. The Rotary Switch and menu arrows are accelerated. The more you press or spin, the faster the time setting will increase or decrease. Delay is not set until the Rotary Switch is pressed or or the check mark is selected. The amount of delay available is dependent on the sampling frequency in use. For example, digital wireless mics that have a processing delay in their outputs. In addition, all digital conversion stages have delay. The input matrix allows any input to be routed to any recording track. Multiple inputs can be routed to a single track to create mono-mixed recordings. A solid blue LED indicates an input is assigned to a record track. The last three preset selections are CUSTOMROUTE options. Press the EDIT soft key to enter the custom routing menu. Custom In the menu, highlighted input and track combination are displayed in white text. The four inputs are shown on the left; the four record tracks are shown on the right. Assigned tracks are noted on the screen by the addition of an arrow pointing to the record track. The LED routing matrix will also show a flashing blue LED for the currently selected input-to- track combination. This feature can be used to quickly mute microphones while maintaining their respective track assignments. Blank tracks in polyphonic files take up the same amount of storage space as tracks that are assigned. The 744T LCD calculates available recording time based on the sampling rate, bit depth, number of tracks set for recording and the selected storage media available capacity. See the Calculating Recording Time later in this guide to estimate record time. Sampling rates are selected among common rates from 32 kHz to 192 kHz. Additionally, nonstandard sampling rates can be applied when the 744T is word clocked from an external source (clock sources between 32 kHz and 192 kHz). When recording off-speed sampling rates files will be stamped with the rate closest to an internally generated frequency. Sampling frequency determines the audio bandwidth, or frequency response, that can be represented by the digital signal.Bit depth correlates to the maximum dynamic range that can be represented by the digital signal. Larger bit depths accommodate more dynamic range.To obtain 16 bit recording the 744T can be set to dither 24 bit digital signals to 16 bit. The 744T uses a proprietary pseudo-random dither routine for accurate bit rate reduction. Dither can be defeated in the user menu. Without dither, 24 bit audio is truncated to 16 bit, meaning the least significant 8 bits are discarded. The 744T does not perform sample rate conversion or bit depth changes. File conversion must be done in another environment, such as an audio workstation. Alternatively, a real-time analog transfer is often performed instead of sample rate conversion. The 744T uses a rock-stable time code crystal to generate its internal word clock frequencies. The 744T can clock external devices from its word clock and accept and lock to external clock sources for recording. Generally, the device with the analog-to-digital converter is designated as the word clock master. As a word clock master the 744T generates word clock whether or not audio is sent. If devices use separate word clock sources unpredictable behavior will result. It will slave to the external device. If, for example, you are using a wireless receiver with a digital output, it may not have an external word clock input, and will be the word clock master. Loss of the word clock signal during recording can cause the 744T to revert back to its internally set sampling frequency. For reliability, we recommend you set the 744T to the same sample frequency as the word clock source. Loss of the word clock signal in this case will most likely cause a glitch in the file, but the file may still be usable. The master recorder and the slave unit will share sample accurate start and stop record times. Multiple units can be daisy-chained together to record nearly unlimited tracks. The C. Link protocol links carries the following data: This will ensure that all files generated are compatible. Take numbers should be set to the same on all linked recorders if take numbers are reset before recording. There is no file name synchronization with multiple unit linking. This makes it possible for units to get out of synchronization if a unit other than the master is set to record or stop. Using the master unit will assure that all machines begin and end recording together. It must be the master wordclock source for all C.Link slaves. Under no circumstances should analog or digital telephone lines be connected to either jack. Serious damage to the recorder could result. The audio sources for each output bus are selected in the Setup Menu. This allow uninterrupted audio at the outputs. The output level is a nominally 0 dBu at ? 20 dBFS. The level of the line output can be attenuated in the setup menu by up to 40 dB in 1 dB increments. Attenuation is done as an output pair. In either case the SCMS bit is not set. Sources assigned to Output Bus 2 are exclusive and do not affect the assignments to the Master Output Bus or headphone assignments. The same signal sources available for the Master Output Bus are available for Output Bus 2 (see chart above). The uncompressed, file-based recording supports WAV and BWF file formats in either polyphonic or monophonic file packages. A much more reliable and upscale alternative to the Zoom H4n recorder, the 744T is ideal for Canon 5D or Canon 7D shoots that require professional field recording. Whether it’s a highly mobile ENG job or a cart-based commercial production, the 744T offers convenience and stability.
