SETUP > ROUTING SETTINGS > MIRRORING
When the MIRRORING function is activated, the routing and the eventual mixing of the input channels onto
the hard disk tracks is identically replicated on the Compact Flash card. In this case, tracks 1 & 2 of the CF
card will no longer appear in the routing matrix and are replaced by the word MIRROR.
All the assigned tracks on the hard disk will be recorded simultaneously and identically on the hard drive and
CF card, providing that the performances of the CF card allows.
NOTE: Several series of tests with CF cards offering good performances helped to validate the
recording of up to 8 channels at 96kHz/24bit. If the performances of the CF card does not allow
mirroring, an CF alarm will be displayed. The recording on the CF card will be aborted but will
continue on the HD.
NOTE: If the storage capacity of the CF card is reached during recording, the CF card will stop
recording but the recording will continue on the hard disk.
5.8.3 RECORD SETTINGS
SETUP > RECORD SETTINGS > PROJECT NAME
This menu allows you to set the PROJECT Name. It has several aims:
•
Sets the name of the directory where the Takes will be stored.
•
Archives the Project name in each WAVE file (sub-chunk BWF and iXML)
The format of the Project Name is as follows:
•
8 characters maximum
•
alphanumeric characters, space and underscore only (A..Z, 0..9, _)
SETUP > RECORD SETTINGS > SCENE NAME
This menu allows you to set the SCENE Name. It has also several aims:
•
Partially names the directory where the audio files of the Takes will be stored
•
Archives the Scene name in each WAVE file (sub-chunk BWF and iXML)
The format of the Project Name is as follows:
•
8 characters maximum
•
alphanumeric characters, space and underscore only (A..Z, 0..9, _)
SETUP > RECORD SETTINGS > FILE FORMAT
The File format offers three choices :
•
MONO
•
STEREO
•
POLYPHONIC
If MONO is selected, each track is recorded in a separate mono file.
If STEREO is selected, the system records each pair of tracks in a single stereo file. The pairs are always
1+2, 3+4, 5+6 and 7+8.
If the Routing sets incomplete pairs of tracks (eg tracks 1, 3, 4 and 7), every single track is recorded in a
stereo file and occupies half the size of the file, the other half being a silent channel.
If POLYPHONIC mode is enabled, all active tracks are recorded in a single file. This mode is only possible if
the MIRRORING mode is activated (see previous section), regardless of whether the CompactFlash card is
present or not.
