Eventide - the company that invented the
digital-tape audio logger - turned its attention
to instant recall devices. We found that most
available units were pretty much alike, and
they all had one glaring omission. Operators
most often turn to their instant recall unit
when the incoming telephone call or radio
transmission is difficult to understand, often
because the caller is speaking too fast or the
audio sounds garbled. But most available
instant recall units can only play back calls "as
is." The operator can hear it again, but can't
hear it more clearly.
Intelli-Clear
TM
SPEED CONTROL
Now Eventide, drawing on its expertise as one
of the world's leading suppliers of audio
processors to the professional recording and
broadcast fields, has changed all that with
Intelli-Clear speed control. This feature lets
the operator slow down the playback (or speed
it up) without changing the pitch or degrading
the sound quality. This breakthrough - made
possible by advanced DSP (digital signal
processing) circuitry - is nothing like variable
speed controls you may have heard in the
past.
The degraded audio quality of other
variable speed controls often make audio
harder to understand. But with Intelli-Clear,
slowing down the replay actually increases
intelligibility. Operators can frequently under-
stand speech that had sounded hopelessly garbled.

To make Intelli-Clear even more useful,
Eventide engineers rethought the conventional
rewind/fast forward controls found on other
recall devices. They're useful on a tape recorder,
but on a recall unit, conventional rewind/fast
forward buttons usually overshoot the desired
segment within a message. This results in
the operator having to "hunt and peck"
awkwardly until the right segment is found.
The Eventide DIR911's rewind and fast for-
ward buttons work differently. Each touch
advances or backs-up the message by 1.25
seconds. Tap the rewind button four times,
and you jog back five seconds. Simple, pre-
cise, and easy to use - ideal for high-pressure
public safety operations.
LARGE DISPLAY
The DIR911's back-lit 4 line x 40 character
LCD screen, much larger than those on
other recall units, is easier to read and
shows a wider range of information. All ANI
(Automatic Number Identification), CLID
(Calling Party Identification) data and,
uniquely, the phone number captured from
ALI (Automatic Location Identification) data
are displayed. Full ALI data will be shown on
a connected external display. For operating
ease, the bottom line of the LCD dynamically
labels four "soft key" buttons with the proper
designations for each operating mode.
