Frontier Design 189000000002 Overview

Frontier Design Group's TranzPort represents a revolutionary way to interact with a Windows or Mac digital audio workstation (DAW).  Instead of being stuck in front of the computer to compose, record and produce music/audio, the controller provides the freedom to control DAW functions from anywhere in the studio.

TranzPort is easy to set up and use. Right out of the box, it's compatible with many popular DAW software. One can arm tracks, use transport controls, set markers, control pans, punch in/out, start loops, and more from the unit's simple and intuitive interface. Being a bi-directional controller, it will also provides feedback on signal levels, timecode position, track names, and more.

Unlike infrared remotes, line-of-sight is not needed between the TranzPort and the computer. The controller/receiver uses high frequency radio waves (RF) to send and receive control data, and uses advanced coding and frequency-hopping techniques to operate without causing interference, even in the presence of other wireless devices.

Wireless DAW control allows one to operate a computer-based digital audio workstation from anywhere in the studio. Applications include being able to change mix levels from an iso-booth, or easily record instruments that are physically incompatible with the main workspace
