RAM Recorder Transfer Menu
Stills/Clips exported from the KayakHD to the PC contain metadata. In
this part, additional information is stored; the slot position in the ram
recorder, active area, included audio channels, etc. The slot position, if
available, is used for transferring the files back into the ram recorder. If the
files on the PC are generated by the Image Converter, or they are retrieved
from a KayakDD or an XtenDD series switcher, the slot information is
missing and a slot must be selected prior to the transfer.
There are two modes to transfer clips and stills to and from the RAM
Recorder:
Single Transfer Mode
This is the default mode when you enter the Transfer dialog. Set the cursor
(blue line) to the desired item and press the
Start Import or Start Export button.
A popup keypad allows you to change the name for the target file.
When you are transferring to the ram recorder the to Pos column shows you
the slot where the item will be transferred to. You can change this position
via
Change Position . In case of missing slot information the to Pos column
shows pos? and you have to select a slot via Set Position before you can start
the transfer.
When a slot is already occupied you will be prompted for overwrite at the
start of the transfer.
Multi Transfer Mode
You enter the multi transfer mode when at least one clip/still is selected by
the top row buttons
Select All , Begin Selection , End Selection , Toggle Selection .
Selected items are indicated by a green color.
Since a transfer in this mode should run without prompting for overwrite
you can choose one of three Transfer Modes for the case that the target slot
is already occupied:
• Overwrite —The slot will be overwritten
• Skip —The image in the ram recorder will be preserved and the file
selected for transfer will be skipped
• Next Free —The image in the ram recorder will be preserved and the next
free slot will be used to transfer the selected file
For transfers to the ram recorder you can also decide whether you want to
use the slot position stored in the metadata ("Individual Positions") or
whether you want to store the files in a subsequent order, starting at a
certain position. This position can be changed via
Change Start Pos . This is
particularly useful when you have several files without metadata.
