• ION provides all inclusive synchronization and record control without any third party devices

• Control traditional parallel transports such as Sony 3324/3348/3348HR, Studer A820/827, Otari MTR-90, Sony JH-24, for example

• Soundmaster's proprietary universal Parallel interface provides smooth GOTO's and fast locking of parallel machines using a blend of parallel and serial control when available

• Serial control over Pro Tools 5.1, Fairlight MFX3+/Merlin, DTRS, DAT, MMR8, DD8, and many others

• Extensive integration of RADAR 24, including external synchronization, track arming, jog/shuttle control. With ION/RADAR all non-linear functions can also be accessed

• Video device control is extensive including V1, Digital Betacam, BetaSP, 3/4", 1/2"

• Serial track arming of capable devices

• Quickest, most consistent locks in the industry

• Complete integration with popular consoles such as SSL 9000J and Sony Oxford allows console access to ION controlled devices

• ION virtual machine lets console act as the "Master" while simultaneously allowing ION keyboard control

• Console uses only one 9 pin serial port and issues simple motion, track arming and record control as if it were controlling a standard Sony type transport. No console synchronization capability is required

• ION routing allows motion control to be directed to the "Master" while record commands go to the designated Record machine(s)

• Console receives status and serial time code back from ION's Master and Record machines within a single, merged stream as if from a standard 9 pin transport

• Control of up to sixteen (16) devices on a point to point basis

• Multiple GPIs available for tripping external devices such as DATs, samplers, wipes, red lights

• Optionally, external jog/shuttle commands can be routed to ION controlled devices and track arming to an extremely powerful ION internal record matrix; a single track arm from the console could easily be routed to multiple recorders, for example

• Exclusive feature allows direct control over video as system "Master" in wind mode while it automatically reverts to "slave" to a perfect machine in play

• Auto punch in and out, with powerful multiple event capability

• Robust, crash resistant and extremely quick booting

• Internal time code generator, referenced to house video sync, acts as a virtual device that can be offset while outputting perfect code to chase-only devices

• NTSC or PAL operation, or combinations of the two

• Patented SMART SYNC® supports mixed code varispeed synchronization

• Multiple system setups can be stored to disk and recalled with a single keystroke

• Range of user interfaces available to fit all applications

• Time code and film footage operation with programmable time code/feet frame relationship

• Proven reliable in the world's most prestigious facilities

• Exclusive "ATOM CALL HOME" real time online support by standard modem provides an umbilical cord to the designers

• Winner of a Scientific and Engineering Academy Award and Prime Time Emmy Plaque for Outstanding Engineering
