FR-2 Field Memory Recorder (Chapter 5: Recording/playback)
About recording system
The FR-2 uses the FAT32 (File Allocation Table 32) file system and supports the most
common BWF (Broadcast Wave File) file format.
You can make recording in the stereo (L/R) or mono track mode. When recording in
stereo, two (L and R) WAV files are created, while a single WAV file is created when
recording in mono.
A BWF file created is stored in the "bwff" folder which is created on a CFC/ATA (see the
figure below). The FR-2 uses the "1 take - 1 file" system. With this system, each time you
make recording, a new audio file is created on the card. Note that you cannot make
additional recording or overwriting to an existing file.
By connecting the FR-2 to your PC, you can transfer an audio file recorded by the FR-2
to the PC, and vice versa. Therefore, you can copy an audio file recorded by the FR-2 to
a PC hard drive or export it to a computer application such as Digidesign Pro Tools.
The table below shows the approximate recording time on a 1GB card (CFC or ATA).
Note that actual recording time may be slightly different depending on card manufac-
turers.
