TEAC Selects eSOL's Middleware for TASCAM-brand Professional Solid State Recorder


Tokyo, Japan. May 27, 2008 - eSOL, a leading developer of realtime embedded software solutions, today announced that TEAC Corporation has selected its PrFILE®2 FAT file system for their TASCAM-brand Solid State Recorders "SS-R1" and "SS-CDR1".

Both the SS-R1 and SS-CDR1 use the CompactFlash® memory card as storage media to record/playback audio data. PrFILE2 provides a reliable file system for writing and reading such audio data to/from the CompactFlash memory card.

SS-R1 and SS-CDR1 are compact single-rack units. They are stereo audio recorders for installation setups at larger spaces such as music halls, fitness studios, and conference halls. SS-R1 has a vibration-resistant structure without a mechanical section, thanks to the solid-state CompactFlash memory card, and can be widely employed for many uses. You can record high-quality sound by choosing a large storage size of CF card, or you can extend recording time by choosing the high-compression MP3 format. SS-CDR1, on the other hand, combines CompactFlash and Compact Disc recording into a single rack space, which allows you to go from source audio to finished CD-R/RW media within one quality package.
