DC Audiovisuel - NAGRA IV-S SMPTE / AATON

Analog stereo 1/4" tape field recorder with TC/Aaton code

In a few words

Nagra IV-S TC is a time coded evolution of Nagra IV-S, first designed for stereo music recording, which quickly taken up on movie production: two-track recording allows to separate the boom track from the radio mike track, "in" from "off", playback from sync sound, etc. It is then possible to make up for mishaps that may have occurred during recording. Excellent mike preamps, large dynamic range, high quality filters and limiters, two-needle level display, sturdiness and reliability, great autonomy, have made Nagra IV-S number one on production sets, radio studios and concert halls, long after the release of field digital recorders.
The replacement of the standard FM pilot system by the SMPTE TC system is a result of the growing use of video techniques in post production. The TC signal is laid between the two audio tracks and, on playback, delayed to compensate for the gap between TC head and playback head.
The Nagra IV-S TC has been replaced by DAT for economic reasons: sound dailies must be transferred to DAT, in order to maintain TC continuity (mirror DAT); ¼" sound tape cost is three or four times DAT cost. Nevertheless, many American and European sound mixers manage to impose Nagra IV-S TC on productions in spite of an entirely digital post production chain.
