Nagra makes a 24 bit portable reel to reel digital recorder.
An expensive professional tool that Hollywood may sometimes use.
But I was reading in Mix magazine that even Hollywood, when using
this machine would "back-up" onto analog in the field, presumably
because much editing set-ups are analog. This article was a year
or two ago; state of the art stuff changes rapidly.
Would 24 bit allow a bigger sampling rate? Or is it only
the speed of information passed?
