File Transfer – FireWire
FireWire port
FireWire cable - 744T to computer
The 722’s FireWire (IEEE-1394) port makes transferring of recorded files to a computer quick and
easy. When connected to a computer, the internal hard drive and CompactFlash card of the 722 will
mount to a Mac OS X or Windows computer as a local, removable mass storage volume. Using Mac
Finder, Windows Explorer, or any other file utility, files can be copied, read, and deleted directly to
and from the 722 hard drive.
It is best practice to copy original audio files from the original recorded medium to another volume before
editing.
To mount the 722 to a computer via FireWire:
1. Stop all playback and recording activity.
2. Interconnect the 722 to a FireWire-enabled computer using an appropriate FireWire cable. No drivers
are required if the computer meets the requirements listed in Specifications.
3. Make certain that within the
Firewire: Connection
setup menu option
Computer/Connect has been selected.
4. The 722 will now show the screen below when successfully connected via FireWire. When connected, all
audio functionality of the 722 is defeated.
5. Navigate the drives on the computer and copy all needed audio to local storage.
To avoid possible corruption on the 722 hard drive, always properly dismount the unit from the
operating system. On Mac platforms, drag the drive icons to the trash. On Windows platforms,
use the “Disconnect External Media” icon in the system tray.
