Solid State Record/Play Card

 

The Phi Technologies is proud to introduce this highly compact, state-of-the-art digital audio recording system. With no moving parts and no tape, the Solid State Record Card (SSR) stores digitized audio in solid-state, nonvolatile PCMCIA memory cards. The SSR System provides a sold foundation for the development of custom and specialized solid-state recording systems to meet exacting specifications. Its small size, rugged construction and suitability for stand-alone use makes it ideal for automatic and unattended operation.

The SSR is perfect for OEM applications, or have Phi Tech design your system. With Phi Tech's innovative Venture Partnership Program customers who need technical assistance in the development of their finished product can have Phi Tech Engineers design the system. Phi Tech can then build a complete system to meet your specifications. The unit can even have your logo. Engineering costs are often minimal or nonexistent depending on the feasibility and market potential of the product.

 

Features of the SSR Card

Small Size - The audio and digital circuitry are contained on a single circuit board assembly approximately 3.9 inches by 8.7 inches (100mm x 220mm). Audio is stored on a removable, nonvolatile Type II or Type III PCMCIA flash memory card which is barely larger than a credit card. Up to four modules can be contained in a single half/height EIA-Standard 19-inch rack mount enclosure.

Low Memory Usage - This is accomplished with highly efficient bit rate reduction algorithms according to the ISO/MPEG-1 Layer II Standard. The algorithm produces a compression ratio as high as 24:1, and is selectable to fit a wide variety of applications, from low-fidelity voice-range recording to high-fidelity music reproduction.

Long Record/Play Time - The SSR records more than one hour of stereo audio on a 30 megabyte PCMICA card. PCMCIA cards are readily available with a wide capacity range.

High Performance Audio Recording - The SSR records and reproduces at 128 kBits/second, 20 Hz to 20 kHz bandwidth (48kHz sample frequency with 85 db minimum dynamic range.).

Digital and Analog Inputs and Outputs - The SSR provides the means to interface with any kind of system. Audio connections for simplification or digital connections for reproduction of the highest quality possible.

Random Access - Any recorded segment can be located and played instantly.

Re-Recordable - Flash cards can be erased and re-recorded with no audio degradation.

Embedded Text - Messages can be recorded and played back with embedded synchronized text. Text can be displayed while audio is playing.

RS-232 Communication Protocol - Use this feature for controlling the functions via computer serial port or an embedded controller.

Muli-Tracking Operation - This feature offers a means of linking up to 256 individual SSR cards together, offering multiple two-track (stereo) channels in parallel.

Extended Playing Time - More record time can be achieved by cascading the cards within the same enclosure.
