Glenn Sanders was in Atlanta with the Zaxcom Deva 24 demo unit last weekend and it's looking great! Please remember that things are subject to change before release, so we'll keep you updated.

That said, here are some of the feature highlights:

• The unit has 40 inputs - 16 analog and 24 AES.
   
• The interface uses a more streamlined version of the Deva 5 software, but it's still very Zaxcom.  There may be a small learning curve for the new user, but it looks even easier to use then a Nomad.
   
• RX-12-like control.   Control your Tx and Rx frequencies, settings, power roll, etc. from the Deva.  Menu and screen settings look exactly like the RX-12. 
   
• Post Record:  Like pre record, only after you hit stop
   
• Cue Mode: The Deva playbacks Zaxcom transmitter recordings, so you can remix a scene.  It's an improved version of a Deva 5 feature.
   
• Track routing is extremely customizable. 
   
• Initial shipments will not have ZaxNet enabled, since it's pending FCC approval.  When it's approved, there will be no charge for the ZaxNet board and it'll be installable by the end user or a dealer.
   
• Dante board option
   
• No NP battery slot.
   
• Records to (2) CF Cards, (1) ESATA Swap Drive, and (1) Internal SSD.  The internal drive is relatively small out of the box, but upgradable up to 1 TB
   
• The intro price for the Deva 24 is expected to be around $12,000 with an anticipated price bump sometime afterwards. 
   
• The Mix-16 control surface will be in the  $5000-6000 range
