New WaveFrame/7 Workstation Supports TASCAM MX-2424 Format

April 26, 2001 LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - WaveFrame Inc. and TASCAM announced at the National Association of Broadcaster’s convention that the new WaveFrame/7 workstation system supports import and export of OpenTL files, providing interchange compatibility with the TASCAM MX-2424 digital disk recorder. The OpenTL format, developed by TimeLine Vista and TASCAM for use in their MX-2424 digital disk recorder and MM Series of digital dubbers, is a flexible EDL format that supports use of Broadcast Wave audio files on PC format disks (FAT-16 and FAT-32) and for Sound Designer II audio files on Macintosh HFS and HFS+ volumes.

According to WaveFrame President Ron Franklin, “Facilitating project workflow for our professional clients has always been a top priority for us. WaveFrame has enjoyed a long history of file compatibility with TASCAM disk recorder products in the MM Series dubbers and we’re very pleased to support the popular new MX-2424 disk recorder in our new WaveFrame/7 systems.”

TASCAM International Manager of Product Development Mike McRoberts said “OpenTL provides a way to easily move projects between compatible workstation and disk recorder systems. We’re very happy that the continuing cooperation between WaveFrame and TASCAM will provide a positive benefit for our mutual customers in the professional audio community.” WaveFrame/7 is shipping and available for immediate delivery through WaveFrame’s network of dealers and international distributors.
