HDC1000
The HDC-1000 uses a database management system that
allows the user to search through a massive library
of music within seconds, by artist, title, genre,
album or even by string.
Databases can be created via the HDC unit or the PC
application, allowing users to create and manage
database files at a gig, or on a home computer with
lightning fast speed.
The cataloging system gives you several browsing
options, including Search by Artist, Song, Title,
Album, and Genre. This system allows users to search
the same way they would using an iPod™ or similar
portable music player.
Users can search by a certain word or phrase to find
tracks on their storage device, even if they're
unsure of the name. When the user inputs a keyword,
it will search all Artists, Titles, Albums, and
Genres, and show all matches to that keyword. For
instance, searching for the word 'LOVE' might bring
up (3) artists. It might also find (60) titles, (10)
albums and (1) genre. The user can then select the
artists, titles, albums, or genres from that list.
No need to abandon the CD collection, the HDC-1000
is able to play audio CDs with any compatible USB
CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.
Play back user-created CD-Rs or DVD-Rs loaded with
MP3 or WAV music files using a compatible USB CD-ROM
or DVD-ROM drive.
The brightly illuminated LCD main playback screen
displays info on any track in the catalog, showing
everything from the essentials such as artist, track
title, pitch, time elapsed/remaining to detailed
information including file format (MP3 or WAV),
genre, and track length.
Allows users to browse through files and
directories as if they were using a computer,
showing them the directory structure and file names
exactly as they exist on the storage device. DJs
with their own organizational system can navigate it
quicker than using the database.
The HDC's internal software can be upgraded simply
by downloading new software from the Cortex website.
Take a client's request from his iPod or USB memory
flash drive, plug it in, and play it right away
without having to reboot the unit. With two USB
ports (and support for up to 4 devices when using a
USB hub), the HDC unit allows users to connect and
recognize multiple storage devices to access a
variety of separate music databases simultaneously.
Cue points can be set like a normal CD player, so
that the DJ can return to a certain time in the
track just by pressing a button. Cue points may also
be saved permanently to the connected storage
device, allowing them to load with a track
automatically.
Every Cortex HDC unit features exclusive protection
from accidental shutdown while playing, securing
your precious digital files from sudden corruption
and preserving your performance. To turn the unit
off, simply press and hold the power button for more
than 2 seconds.
Quickly find that hot new track in a massive library
of music with just a few taps of a USB-compatible
keyboard.
The HDC-1000 can play all your MP3's; CBR or VBR
at any bitrate up to 320kbps.
The HDC-1000 supports multiple languages including
English, French, and Spanish.
