Menu Item What It Does
files’ list.
This is a destructive process, so don’t use it until you’re near the
end of a project or are very sure that outtake is really so bad that
you don’t want to use any part of it
Format Drive
This operation wipes the External hard disk clean, preparing the
drive for a new project or a new client.
IMPORTANT NOTE: There is a provision for formatting the internal
hard drive, which will wipe out the operating system as well as any
project data. Call Mackie Tech Support for details on this gruesome
task. We really didn’t want to make it too easy by putting it on a
menu.
When Formatting is completed, a prompt to verify the drive
performance for recording/playback will appear. This runs the
Verify Drive Performance utility described below.
Verify Drive
Performance
Runs a performance test on the currently selected hard drive to
determine if it is suitable for recording. If a drive lacks the
throughput speed for recording but is suitable for backup, the
HDR24/96 OS will append the label BU (back up) to the drive. If the
real time verification test passes, the label RT (real time) will be
appended to the drive name.
Drives supplied by Mackie are preformatted and verified. After
formatting, drive performance is automatically verified. Typically
this utility is used to check a drive that you are installing yourself,
purchased from an outside source.
Mount/Refresh
Drives
A housekeeping utility that assures that the (removable) drives and
their contents are seen or updated by the operating system. Use
this command when inserting a Mackie Media PROJECT cartridge
disk without rebooting the HDR24/96.
Run FTP
Server
([C TRL +f])
The HDR24/96 can act as a node on a network. This starts a built-
in FTP server so that the recorder’s files can be accessed by a
computer.
Network TCP/IP setup parameters are accessed from the Setup
menu. See
Appendix D for detailed information on setting network
parameters and transferring files.
Shutdown
([C TRL +q])
This prompts you to save your current work before powering down.
As long as you’ve saved your work, it’s OK simply to power off.
This command is a legacy, and a reminder.
