Eight channels of audio signals in analog, SDIF-2, or AES/EBU format, played back on a digital or analog audio reproducer, are input to the DFR- E3000, which then compresses the signals and generates mixed signals as a protective measure for signal dropout. The DFR-E3000 then processes the signals for recording onto the film and sends the processed signals to a DFR-C3000 which is also connected to the host computer. Under the control of the DFR-E3000, the DFR-C3000 records the digital audio sign
