RDS-1 Operations Manual

By Wilfred White

Introduction: The RDS-1 was created as a Prototype for evaluation of a complex, portable, turnkey, video / audio recording studio for today's Concert Video Producers, TV Producers, industrial Media departments, high end Videographer, or well-funded Band that wants to produce their own video segments. The 24 track 24 bit hard disk recording deck from Mackie takes the 24 tracks from the 2 onboard retractable 1604 VLZ mixing boards and cleanly records them onto a removable computer hard disk. This unit was inspired after working with a large industrial media department during a well-funded musical performance at a Christmas party. A video was shot by a 4 camera TV crew that also had a 48 channel audio mixing board run by a sound engineer. I remember quite vividly all the effort it took these men and women to bring out all the equipment from the delivery van, unpack all the stuff, set it up on tables, open up the 6 foot long wood crates that held the video monitors and other equipment to do the video production and the mixing board, mikes, cables, lights etc. It took them hours to hook up everything and test it. I noticed that there was an opportunity to have most of the video equipment in one big 19 inch rack mount cabinet but instead it was spread out between two six foot wood crates. It was at that moment that I started designing the RDS-1. The versatility and durability that the RDS-1 brings to the table is incredible. Captain Willy Producer/Director/Design Engineer
