The World's First Modular, Multichannel USB Recorder Is Buzz

High Performance Media Technology is renowned as one of the UK’s foremost broadcast equipment suppliers and 'challenger' company with 3,000 products that do more and cost less. It has an unprecedented reputation for innovation and is pleased to announce the Buzz-USB, the world’s first modular, multi-channel USB recorder.

Just in case you missed it, High Performance Media Technology and one of the UK's oldest broadcast manufacturers, DTL Broadcast, the latter with 35 years of experience under their belt, joined forces in January this year.

Since then, they have revamped the DTL brand and introduced some unique, practical and affordable new products to the DTL brand that challenge the established 'order'.

The newest of these is Buzz-USB which is the world's first, modular, multi-channel USB recorder. It has been designed in concert with the UK's leading OB companies and is primarily aimed at sports production but flexible enough to be used for compliance and proxy recording for television and film production plus security applications.

This compact, lightweight product has a capacity for up to 5 USB recorders in a single 1RU chassis. It is available in five different configurations and can record up to five separate signals simultaneously, yet is flexible enough to simultaneously record up to five copies of a video (and embedded audio) signal.

Using the latest H.264 signal processing, the MP-4 files created are the highest quality with up to 10Mb/s record data rates. The recordings can be played back on any desktop, laptop or notebook computer, and even used for streaming tv services.

What's more, Buzz-USB is designed for live sports and is simple and fast to use, with red START/ STOP buttons on the front and no complex and time consuming menus.

Starting at just £1,549, it's very affordable and certainly a very cost effective way to record proxy and compliance files. This product is perfect for sports broadcasting, studios, corporate events, and even festivals.

"This has been a very exciting project and we've produced a state of the art USB recorder in a record time following demand from our OB customers," says Steve Hathaway, Head of Development.

He adds: "Buzz-USB takes USB recording to another level and we anticipate plenty of demand for this product because it answers the need for high performance, flexible USB recording at an affordable price."
