MENU 041..044 IP ADDRESS
MENU 041, 042, 043 and 044 allows you to configure the IP address
of your bonsaiLAN module.
Use the +/- keys to set bytes w.x.y and z accordingly in menus 41,
42, 43 and 44. During a file transfer a change of the IP address will
be ignored until finishing of the process.
MENU 045 LAN EXPORT FORMAT
bonsaiDRIVE clips can be exported through the bonsaiLAN module
as uncompressed 8-bit QuickTime movies with 2, 4, 8 or 10 channels
of 24 bit PCM audio. Select the according pair or block of audio
channels you want to export in menu 45.
In addition you can select the native bonsaiDRIVE format which
provides raw bonsaiDRIVE AV data in form of a QuickTime movie.
This can not be played back in QuickTime without a respective
bonsaiDRIVE QuickTime codec, but can be imported by other
bonsaiDRIVEs. This gives you the possibility to speed up the
effective transfer rates by the use of the LOSSLESS of LOW-RES
compression. With LOW-RES material this can achieve up to 6 times
of real time play speed.
(Note: bonsai native format is not implemented in the first bonsaiLAN
firmware versions).
Rosendahl Studiotechnik will public the used compression method
and file structure to allow the implementation of a bonsaiDRIVE
QuickTime codec.
