D-Net File Transfer • • • • 75
The following is a description of the File Transfer Setup options and how to set them.
D-NET Receiver
Setting the File Receiver enables or disables file reception on your DigiCart/E. When set to ON your
DigiCart/E will receive file transfers. When set to OFF, the machine will not receive file transfers.
Setup menu items, not related to D-Net, will not be displayed.
NOTE: DigiCart/E automatically disables Input Monitor when File Receive is ON. It will resume
automatically when File Transfer is turned OFF. Input monitoring during Record Ready is unaffected.
To set the File Receiver on your DigiCart/E select DNET FILE TRANSFER from the
Utility menu. Rotate the
selection knob to set DNET RECEIVER to ON or OFF.
Confirm the setting by pressing ENTER , or abandon it by pressing EXIT .
Selecting the D-Net Input Connector
The DNET RECEIVER INPUT setting selects between BNC and XLR digital input connectors on
your DigiCart/E.
To set the File Receiver on your DigiCart/E select DNET FILE TRANSFER from the
Utility menu. Rotate the selection knob or use the
LEFT and RIGHT POSITION buttons to
set DNET RECEIVER INPUT to BNC or XLR-3.
Confirm the setting by pressing ENTER , or abandon it by pressing EXIT .
Mail Box and Destination Location Transfers
A convenient method for making D-NET transfers is to send to the “Mail Box” on the receiving
machine. For convenience, the Mail Box is always Directory 9. If you transfer to the Mail Box, it will
be stored in the next available index.
There are two significant benefits of transferring to the Mail Box:
• The transfer will never overwrite existing cuts in the Mail Box.
• A Receiver can be set up to accept ONLY those transfers addressed to its Mail Box,
thus enabling it to accept non-destructive transfers only.
You may also enter a specific destination location when making a D-NET transfer. This method
enables you to transfer files to the location that is most useful. Many DigiCart users have well
structured name and location conventions that make this type of transfer very convenient because you
can transfer a cut directly to its final destination and be able to find it easily. Index numbers assigned
to Playlists or Hot Keys maintain those associations. This allows Playlists to be updated, or parts of a
Hot Key-driven set of effects to be changed.
The destination location defaults to the Index number that the file originated from on the source
machine.
The 360 Systems Instant Replay® can receive cuts in certain formats from your DigiCart/E. All
models of Instant Replay can receive AC-2 and 48K linear files. Models DR-552 and DR-554 can also
receive 44.1K linear files. As the Instant Replay has only a single directory, specific designation
transfers must be made to Disk 1, Directory 0. Mail Box transfers will be placed in the next available
Index number, after the last-occupied Index.
To set the type of transfers your DigiCart/E will accept, select DNET FILE TRANSFER from the
Utility menu. Rotate the
selection knob to choose the TRANSFERS TO ACCEPT option. Choose
either “ALL” or “MAIL BOX ONLY”.
