It measures distance on set, with a main display unit and 3 Tags to conceal on the actors. It tracks with an accuracy of about 10 cm at 50 meters for up to 3 targets, each carrying a Tag. Tags are small concealable units which include the measurement system and a rechargeable LiPo battery via USB.

Aaton Digital will feature the production model of its new CantarX3 location 24 track digital audio recorder, the ultimate machine for the professional sound recordist and for motion picture, location and orchestral recording, with both stunning appearance and performance.

It is new, but top name recordists who pre ordered are already using it and love to use it. Tim White, a leading UK based sound recordist: Using the new CantarX3 was a really easy transition as I have been using Cantars as my main recorders for nearly 8 years. The X3 has many similarities but the number of tracks and that lovely display are game changers. I have now started on to my next film and the X3 is turning into a do-anything high quality mixer / recorder. Pairing it with a Cantarem panel I reassign the on board faders to the line trims and the line outs. Comprehensive routing and the 8 line outs enable me to give individual in-ear mixes to puppeteers and actors as well as the usual comms and production feeds without the need for a traditional desk. I love working with the X3 and looking forward to pairing it with the new Cantarem 2 mixer panel.

Also on show will be new CantarX3 accessories, the new CANTAREM 2, a USB-connected mixer panel to add 12 more assignable mixer faders and four assignable buttons; the Modular Bag, and the Sound Mixer Rain Poncho.

CEO Jacques Delacoux and Sales Director Karine Fouque will be present on stand 201 to demonstrate the products and answer your questions.
