Sound Devices 788T - Manual (Page 93)

• Mid-Level / Tape (Roll) Folder – can be selected as a Roll folder with user-selected name or as
a <DAILY> folder, or not used. The name of this folder is inserted in the <TAPE> (Roll) fi eld of
the iXML and bEXT chunks.
If a TOP-LEVEL folder is in use, the MID-LEVEL folder will be a sub-folder of the TOP-LEVEL
folder. If no TOP-LEVEL folder is used, the MID-LEVEL folder will reside at the drive’s root. If
set to <DAILY> a new folder will be created daily. When recording past midnight the 788T will
prompt to make to a new daily folder.
• Bottom-Level / Scene Folder – can be selected as a <SCENE> folder which will use the name
generated from the REC: SCENE NAME/NUMBER Setup Menu, as a user-selected name, or not
used at all.
If no upper-level folder is in use, the BOTTOM-LEVEL folder will reside at drive’s root. If the
MID-LEVEL
and/or TOP-LEVEL are in use the BOTTOM-LEVEL folder will be a sub-folder.
Example: If a daily Folder is desired, set the TOP-LEVEL to <NONE>, the MID-LEVEL folder to
<DAILY>
, and the BOTTOM-LEVEL to <NONE>. This will generate a Daily Folder in the root directory
with fi les directly inside the folder.
A hierarchical view of fi les generated by the 788T is below.
