TASCAM’s award winning DR-60D is the new audio recording solution for on-set filmmakers and videographers using DSLR’s. For years, filmmakers have been trying different methods for recording audio, using bulky recorders designed for music and trying to transform the inferior audio technology built-into DSLR’s. Now TASCAM has designed an answer that pros and amateurs alike have been waiting for.

The DR-60D is a brand new 4-track solid-state recorder utilizing TASCAM’s decades of experience. The recorder utilizes high-grade HDDA pre-amps, legendary AD converters, and a durable but lightweight structure and shape. This device will fit snuggly under any camera or into any rig, and record up to 96kHz/24-bit high quality audio straight to SD/SDHC media. Filmmakers have at their disposal two 1/4″-XLR Locking Combo MIC/LINE Inputs, 3.5mm Stereo MIC Input, Camera In, Camera Out, Line Out and Headphone Out. Both 1/4″-XLR Combo Inputs supply +48V Phantom Power and the 3.5mm Input supplies Plug-In Power for microphones requiring a bias voltage.

The DR-60D is incredibly easy to use, employing TASCAM’s very popular user interface and external controls for every major operation. The body structure, soft-touch keys and dials are designed specifically to help eliminate handling noise. The multiple record modes include, 4-Channel Record, Auto Record and TASCAM’s Dual Record “Safety Track” Mode make the DR-60D one of the most versatile recorders on the market.

Limerick City of Culture 2014 580x232

Hi all

Before we forget… we are going to be making some exciting changes for the 5th year of the festival.

Namely (pardon the pun) we are changing the name. From today we are working on the challenge of changing from the LIT Film Festival to the Limerick Film Festival.

This change is in line with our plans to promote Limerick during next year’s title of City of Culture 2014.

The festival will still be at the heart of LIT and the colleges calendar and with these changes to come the festival will grow and mature to attract more film makers, locally, nationally and internationally.

We hope you all support us during and after the changes are made and we will certainly keep you updated.

The new address for this website is www.limerickfilmfestival.net

Thanks for all the support so far and we look forward to working with you all in the future.

Simon.

Limerick Film Festival Director.

Hi All
Well the LIT Film Festival is over for another year and it ended with a huge crowd at the Awards Show last night.

The weather just held off for myself and the other photographers yesterday for the St.Patricks Day festival in Limerick. Massive numbers marching again this year proving that Limerick certainly has a lot of community spirit. Non more so than in the great effort from local schools and colleges and community groups in breaking the world record for the most St.Patricks at a festival… (287 I think)
Well done to everyone on the day.

Was filming for the Limerick Communications Office and will be in town again today for the International Band Parade.. A favourite of mine.

LIT FILM FESTIVAL LOGO 2012b Spanish-Flag

 

Was delighted to receive more international entries for this years short film competition for the LIT Film Festival in April. This time around they came from Madrid, Spain.

The focus on this years festival is all about inclusion and our neighbouring counties in the EU are more than welcome to submit their work to our competition.

Should they decide to make the journey we will have a big welcome for them here in Limerick in April. Its all part of ‘The Gathering Ireland 2013’.
