(Click for a close-up)

July 23, 1999 -- Emagic, the award winning European based software and hardware developer, is proud to announce the successor to the Unitor8: the Unitor8 MkII.

The Unitor8 MKII is a 19", single rack-space, synchronizer and midi interface for Mac or Windows OS. Each unit has 8 MIDI inputs and 8 independently addressable MIDI outputs. In addition, it can read and write SMPTE as LTC and VITC. The Unitor8 can also easily read LTC from 1/4 to 4x normal speed. With VITC synchronization, Logic will support freeze-frame and reverse playback. In contrast to the earlier model, the Unitor8 MkII can now be connected via a USB port. The existing connections via RS-232 and RS-422 remain unchanged but the Mac Thru connector has been eliminated to make room for the addition of a USB connection. Unitor8 MkII is fully compatible with Emagic's Unitor8 and AMT8 interfaces; up to 8 units can be stacked to control complex MIDI studios.

The Unitor8 MkII offers all the features familiar from its successful predecessor: outstanding reliability, extremely short lock times for LTC and VITC in all formats, Active MIDI Transmission technology, video picture timecode burn-in, a click/footswitch input, stand-alone patch bay functions and many other options.

Logic Audio Version 4.0.1 is required in order to use Unitor8 MkII with the USB connection included with the latest Macintosh computers. The 4.0.1 update CD for current Logic Audio 4.0 users is included. Unitor8 MkII also ships with the Unitor8 Control editing software.

Availability and Pricing

The Unitor8 MKII will ship at the end July of 1999 and carries an MSRP of $799US.
