Formatting a DVD-RAM disk

To make a DVD-RAM disk usable with the DV40, format the disk by the “UDF format”. Two format modes, “Normal” and “T ape”, are available with this unit. Use either format according to the situation.

The DV40 formats a disk in the UDF “R1.50” format. It can read a disk formatted in the “R1.50” or “R2.0*” format using a personal computer without any difficulty. Note that MAC OS 9.1 supports the “R1.50” format but does not support the “R2.0*” format. Therefore, a Macintosh computer running on MAC OS 9.1 cannot read a disk formatted in the “R2.0*” format using a Windows 98 computer. To ensure the compatibility among the DV40 and computers, we recommend to format a disk in the “R1.5” format if you have a Windows 98 computer.

Normal Mode

Normally, format a disk by selecting the format mode to Normal. No audio file is automatically created when formatting the disk in the Normal mode ("No Audio Files!" is shown after formatting is completed). On a "Normal format" disk, a "Normal mode" audio file ("BWF" or "SDII") is automatically created when executing recording in the NEW FILE mode. Or you can also create "Normal mode" audio files using the file select function before recording. Up to 200 audio files can be created.

A disk formatted in the Tape mode reserves the “Normal mode” area (approx. 0.7GB) in addition to the “Tape mode” area (2GB + 2GB = 4GB). In the Normal mode area, you can create “Normal mode” audio files (“BWF” or “SDII”). See “About audio files on a formatted disk” on page 1-7 for details.

Two “Tape mode” audio files (“BWF” or “SDII”) of approximately 2 GB each are automatically created on a disk when formatting the disk in the Tape mode. Like an analog tape, a “Tape mode” audio file has the fixed available space, and can playback recorded data even if the system unexpectedly shuts down during recording and the system data is destroyed. Therefore, a “Tape mode” audio file is suitable for live recording or preserving recorded data for a long period of time.

T ape Mode

The following shows tips for using a disk formatted in the Tape mode effectively.

• If a 2GB “Tape mode” file is too large for you to handle, we recommended to create a “Normal mode” file and copy & paste the necessary data on the “Tape mode” file to it. This is allows you to handle data, originally recorded on the “Tape mode” file, on a small file.

• If the 0.7GB “Normal mode” area on a “Tape mode” file is too small, delete one of the “Tape mode” files and optimize the disk. This increases the “Normal mode” area to 2.7GB.

When a disk is formatted in the Tape mode, an audio file is automatically created. Therefore, before formatting, you must set the AUDIO FILE, TR MODE and SAMPLING FREQ switches on the front panel appropriately. Note that you cannot change the settings after formatting.) When formatting a disk in the Normal mode, you do not need to set these switches. However, you must set them appropriately when making recording in the NEW FILE mode or creating a new audio file using the file select function.

1. While "Format" with flashing "?" is shown on the display, press the [ENTER/YES] key.

The display changes to show "Format Disk DVD" (in which "DVD" is flashing).

Flashing

2.Press the [ENTER/YES] key again.

The display changes to show "Label [DV40-D VD" (in which "D" of "DV40" is flashing). This shows the label name of the disk can be edited and "DV40-D VD" is the tentative name. See the following Tips for details about how to enter a desired label name. Of course, you may use the tentative name when formatting. (You can also rename the tentative name in the Utility mode described later.)

Tips: How to enter a desired label name

Press the [MARGIN RESET/CLR] key repeatedly until the tentative name currently shown is erased. By using the Jog dial (or using the appropriate numeric key), you can enter the desired character at the editing point (flashing point). You can move the editing point by pressing [SKIP/CURSOR] I<</>>I key after entering a character.

3.After entering a volume name, press the [ENTER/YES] ke y.

The display changes to show "Format Md?" with flashing "Norm". You can select the format mode between "Norm" (Normal) and "Tape" using the jog dial.

Flashing

4.Select the format mode and press the [ENTER/YES] key.

If you select "Norm", the display shows "If enter key is pushed, will start formatting and delete D VD area data. Are you sure?". If you are sure, proceed to the next step.

Flashing

If you select "Normal", go to the next step after the message above is shown. When selecting "T ape", select "New" or "Used" using the jog dial, and then press the [ENTER/YES] key. Go to the next step after the same message as above (shown when selecting “Norm”) is shown.

<Note>

• When formatting a used disk in the Tape mode, select data may not be erased, with the result that a noise may generated when playing back the disk or a recording error may occur when a new recording is made.

• If you format a disk in the Tape mode with "Disk Type" set to formatting because the audio data area is also formatted. The display counts down the unformatted area. Because each of two

About audio files on a formatted disk

As described earlier, two format modes, Normal and T ape, are available with this unit, and in result, there are two audio file types; "Normal mode" file and "Tape mode" file. In short, a "Normal mode" file is a typical disk recorder file that can be edited comprehensively, while a "Tape mode" file is more straightforward and you may regard it as a tape-like file. The following describes detail information about disks formatted in Normal and Tape modes.

•A disk formatted in the "Normal" format mode

As described earlier in “Formatting a DVD-RAM disk”, the display shows “No Audio Files!” when formatted in the “Normal” format mode, showing that no audio file is created on the disk.

To create a “Normal mode” audio file on a disk formatted in the “Normal” format mode, perform recording in the NEW FILE mode or use the file select function. Performing recording in the NEW FILE mode creates an audio file automatically, while the file select function allows to create an audio file before preforming recording.

You can create audio files of two formats, BWF (Broadcast Wave Format) and SDII (Sound Designer II), decided by the setting of the [AUDIO FILE] switch on the front panel. A created file is stored in either of two directories, “bwff” for BWF (Broadcast Wave Format) and “sd2f” for SDII (Sound Designer II) files.

You can create up to 200 audio files on a disk formatted in the “Normal” mode.

<Notes>

On a disk formatted in the “Normal” mode, the maximum recording space for each audio file is approximately 2.0GB (the maximum recording time differs depending on the track mode, Fs and bit length). If a file exceeds the maximum recording space during recording, the unit automatically stops recording, while showing “File Size Over!” on the display.

Up to 200 audio files can be created on a disk, however, if the available space on the disk is short, the number of audio files are limited. For example, if there are two audio files each of which occupies 2.0GB disk space, the remaining space is approximately 0.7GB. If you create another audio file which occupies 0.7GB, you cannot create an audio file anymore. If you try to make recording in the NEW FILE mode or to create an audio file using the file select function, “Disk Full!” is shown on the display and the operation is rejected.

1-7

•A disk formatted in the "Tape" format mode

Two “T ape mode” audio files (“BWF” or “SDII”) of approximately 2 GB size are created on a disk formatted in the “T ape” format mode. A created file are stored in either of two directories, “bwff” for BWF (Broadcast Wave Format) and “sd2f” (Sound Designer II) files, according to the [AUDIO FILE], [TR MODE] and [SAMPLING FREQ] switch settings. The two “Tape mode” audio files are more tape-like, so you may regard as if there were two analog tapes on a disk. If an accident, such as a sudden power failure or shutdown of the unit, may happens during recording, data on a “Tape mode” audio file recorded before the accident happens will survive (while, in the same situation, all data on a “Normal mode” audio file will be lost).

After completing formatting, the time of an audio file is shown in the LTC mode with one-hour offset to ABS 0 (LTC 01H: 00M: 00S: 00F). You can switch it to the ABS mode by pressing the [DISP TIME] key as many times as required.

On a disk formatted in the “Tape” mode, two 2GB “Tape mode” files are automatically created, and no more “Tape mode” audio file can be created. Note that you can make recording to a “Tape mode” audio file only in the INSERT mode.

You can use the approximately 0.7GB remaining area on a disk formatted in the Tape mode as the “Normal mode” area, to create “Normal mode” audio files (“BWF” or “SDII”). “Normal mode” audio files are stored in the appropriate directories as shown in the figure below.

<Note>

When first time creating a “Normal mode” audio file in the “Normal mode” area (of approximately 0.7GB size) on a disk formatted in the Tape mode, use the file select function (See 4-12 for details). However, if any “Normal mode” audio file created is selected, you can create a new audio file by making recording in the NEW FILE mode.

About REMAIN display

You can check the remaining (recordable) time/space by selecting the appropriate display using the [DISP TIME] key. The unit can show the remaining time and space that can be used for "Normal mode" files, regardless of whether the disk is formatted in the "Normal" or "Tape" mode.

• If a disk is formatted in the Normal mode

1. While a disk is stopped and the display shows "No Audio Files!", press the [DISP TIME] key three times.

The display shows the "FreeArea" screen, in which the recordable space (in MB) and time (in hours/minutes/ seconds) for files with the current [TRACK MODE] and [SAMPLING FREQ] switch settings are shown. The screen example on the right below shows the recordable time and space when the disk is formatted with the [TR MODE] and [SAMPLING FREQ] switch settings to "MONO" and "44.1 kHz/24 bit" respectively.

2. Press the [TR MODE] and [SAMPLING FREQ] switches as desired.

By changing the [TRACK MODE] and [SAMPLING FREQ] switch settings, you can check the recordable space and time according to the current switch settings.

The screen examples below shows the values in two cases when the [TR MODE] switch is set to "STEREO" and

"MULTI (4TR)" while the [SAMPLING FREQ] switch is fixed to "44.1 kHz/24 bit".

• If a disk is formatted in the Tape mode

1. While the "Tape mode" audio file is selected, press the [DISP TIME] ke y three times.

The display shows the “FreeArea” screen, as with a disk formatted in the Normal mode. In this screen, the recordable space (in MB) and time (in hours/minutes/seconds) for “Normal mode” files, with the same track mode and sampling frequency/bit length settings as when the disk is formatted, are shown. In other words, the recordable space shown here is the value calculated by subtracting 4.0 GB from all recordable space of the disk. The screen example on the right below shows the values when the disk is formatted by setting the [TR MODE] and [SAMPLING FREQ] switches to “MONO” and “48kHz/24bit” respectively. The recording time in mono is 47 minutes 30 seconds, while the available space is 0.4 GB. Note that, with a disk formatted in the Tape mode, if you change the settings of the [TR MODE] and [SAMPLING FREQ] switches, the values on the display may not be changed.

<Tips>

The recordable space of each “Tape mode” file is fixed to approximately 2.0 GB, which is not included in the Free Area, as shown above. You can see the maximum recordable time of the “Tape mode” audio file by following the operation below.

• While a disk is stopped, press the [F FWD] key while holding down the [STOP] key.

The current position moves to the end of the “tape”, and the maximum recordable time of a “T ape mode” file, with the track mode and sampling frequency/bit length selected by the [TR MODE] and [SAMPLING FREQ] switches when formatted, is shown on the display. You can calculate the remaining time of a “tape mode” file by subtracting the elapsed time from the maximum recordable time.

Reformatting a D VD-RAM disk

The following describes how to reformat a used disk, while chapter 1 describes how to format a new disk. We assume that a used DVD-RAM disk is inserted in the tray and stopped.

Before reformatting a used disk in the Tape mode, set the

ated

switches on the front panel appropriately, which determine the behavior of the newly cre-

"Tape mode"

file.

<Note>

Memory point data still remain after reformatting a disk. Therefore, if you do not need the old memory point data, delete them using the delete function. See

"Chapter 6: Editing/storing time data"

for details about how to delete memory point data.

<Note>

• Before reformatting, make sure that the DVD-RAM disk is not write-protected.

• If you use an used DVD-RAM disk, we recommended to format the disk by a computer first, then format it by the DV40.

1. While stopped, press the [SHIFT] key to turn on the indicator.

2. Press the [SETUP] key.

The unit enters the Utility mode and the display shows a setting menu. The first time the unit enters the Utility mode after turning on the unit, the "Rec Protect?" menu is shown. Otherwise, the previously used setting menu is shown.

• About the expression for audio files in this man ual

As described in chapter 1, there are two types of audio file; "Normal mode" audio file and "Tape mode" audio file. "T ape mode" audio file is rather special and can be created only when formatting. The following descriptions are mainly associated with a "Normal mode" audio file, therefore, a "Normal mode audio file" is sometimes referred to as "audio file" in this manual.

About the NEW FILE and INSERT mode

There are two recording modes; NEW FILE and INSERT modes.

• NEW FILE mode:

When performing recording in the NEW FILE mode, a new audio file is created automatically. The recording is made from the beginning (ABS 0) of the new file, even if there is another audio file on the disk.

• INSERT mode

By recording to an existing file in the INSERT mode, you can replace the current audio data with new one or add new audio data to the current one. When recording to a “Tape mode” audio file, always use the INSERT mode.

Recording an analog source in the NEW FILE mode

When performing recording in the NEW FILE mode, an audio file is newly created automatically and the recording is made from the beginning (ABS 0) of the new file. Note that you cannot record to a "Tape mode" file or an existing "Normal mode" file in the NEW FILE mode.

In the following description, we assume that we are going to record an analog audio source in stereo to a DVD-RAM disk just after formatted in the Normal mode.

<Note>

The first time you make recording to a disk just after formatted, the maximum recording size of the audio file to be created is 2GB (the maximum recording time depends on the track mode and Fs/bit settings). If the recording size exceeds 2GB during recording, the DV40 automatically stops recording.

Preparation

Connection to external devices

1. Connect the e xternal source outputs to the [TR 1] and [TR 2] connectors of the [ANALOG INPUT BALANCED] section of the unit.

The connectors used varies depending on the track mode setting.

2. Select the Input level switches appropriately accor ding to the sour ce output le vel.

3. Connect a pair of monitor speakers with built-in amplifiers or an amplifier/speaker system to the [TR 1] and [TR 2] connectors of the [ANALOG OUTPUT] section of the unit.

Use either of BAL or UNBAL connectors according to the inputs of the monitor device.

1. Press the [RECORD] key.

"New File!" appears for a short time on the display and the unit starts recording on the newly created

file with the file format set in the procedure described in the previous "Preparation for recording". A tentative title of the newly created audio file is automatically created and registered. The tentative title contains date/time information. In the following example, the tentative title shows that the recording started at 18H: 30M: 00S on 24th, December, 2001. The date/time is based on the internal clock, which should be adjusted before using the unit. (See "Setting the internal clock" in Chapter 1 for details about how to set internal clock.) You can edit the tentative title using the "Edit File Name?" menu in the Utility mode.

Tentative title The leftmost “B” shows that the file is “BWF”.

The appropriate tracks according to the [TR MODE] switch setting is lit.

File number

The appropriate Bit and Fs numbers according to the [SAMPLING FREQ] switch setting is lit.

The appropriate file format according to the [AUDIO FILE] switch setting is lit.

Tips: File number f or a ne wly created file

Audio files automatically created are internally counted independently by "BWF" and "SDII" files. For example, if you make recordings twice to a disk on which no audio file is available by setting the [AUDIO FILE] switch to "BWF", two "BWF" files are created, whose file numbers are "001" and "002". Then if you make a recording to this disk by setting the [AUDIO FILE] switch to "SDII", the file number of the newly created file is "001". In result, two BWF files and one SDII file are created. A new file number is one greater than the number of existing files of the same file format.

2. After recording, press the [ST OP] ke y to stop the unit.

See the next page for details about how to playback a recorded audio file.

Tips: Recor ding level adjustment of analog audio signals

Each level meter on the display holds peak value of the corresponding input signal (see the display example below). The peak hold time is initially set to 3 seconds, however, you can select the time among from 0 to 9 seconds in 1 second steps and infinity using the "Peak Hold?" menu in the Setup mode. See "Chapter 15: Setup mode" for details. You can also check the margin between the allowable maximum input level (= 0 dB) and the actual loudest level. The margin value (in dB) is updated each time when the loudest signal is fed to the unit. So you can use the margin display function instead of setting the peak hold time to infinity. You can reset the current margin value by pressing the [MARGIN RESET/CLR] key. Using the [DISP LEVEL] key, you can choose what is shown on the display among the margin level, track level and time.

Notes for level adjustment:

• Set the recording level with the [INPUT MON] indicator lit.

• Adjust the recording level using the [INPUT LEVEL] control so that the "OL" indicator does not light at the loudest part of the signal (i.e. the margin value is larger than 00.0 dB). If the input signal is too high, it clips at the full scale level.

To check the recorded audio file after recording, follow the procedure below.

1. While holding down the [STOP] key, press the [REWIND] key.

The unit immediately locates to the beginning of the audio file.

2. Press the [PLA Y] ke y to start playback from the beginning of the audio file.

3. Monitor the playback audio via headphones or a monitor system.

If the analog outputs are connected to a mixing console, adjust the monitor level using the control of the console. When the playback position reaches to the end of the audio file, the unit automatically stops.

Tips:

After the audio file is recorded in the NEW FILE mode, you can overwrite the file or make recording following the end of the file. See page 4-7 for details about the INSERT mode.

You can create an audio file before recording.

As explained earlier, when making recording in the NEW FILE mode, a new audio file is created on the disk. Therefore, each time you make recording in the NEW FILE mode, the number of audio files increases by one. However, you can create a new audio file before making recording regardless of whether "No Audio Files!" is shown or any audio file is already created. Note that you can only make recording to the existing file in the INSERT mode described later. To create an audio files before making recording, follow the procedure below.

1. Set the [AUDIO FILE], [TR MODE] and [SAMPLING FREQ] switches to the desired positions.

<Note>

A new file will be created with the appropriate audio file format, track mode and sampling frequency/bit length combination according to the switch settings.

2. Press the [FILE SEL] ke y.

• When "No Audio Files!" is shown (i.e. there is no audio file on the disk), pressing the key brings up "New File?" with flashing "001" on the display.

Recording an analog sour ce in the INSERT mode

In the INSERT mode, recording is made to an existing audio file. You can overwrite the file from the beginning or in the middle of the file, as well as make recording following the end of the file. In the following description, as with the earlier description in “Recording an analog source in the NEW FILE

mode”, we assume that we are going to record an external stereo analog audio source from the [ANALOG INPUT - TR1] and [ANALOG INPUT - 2] connectors to a DVD-RAM disk loaded in the tray.

We also assume to perform recording from the end point of the current audio file.

Tips:

In the INSERT mode, recording is made to an existing audio file. Therefore, set the [AUDIO FILE], [TR MODE] and [SAMPLING FREQ] switches to the appropriate positions that match the audio file.

If you set any of these switches inappropriately, the switch position name flashes on the display for warning.

Selecting a desired file on a disk

When there is more than one audio file (regardless of "BWF" or "SDII") on a disk, you can select a desired file using the file select function, or using the [SKIP/CURSOR] [I<<]/[>>I] keys if the “skip mode” menu is set to “File”. The following describes how to select an audio file using the file select function. See "Chapter 9: A udio file management" for details about how to select an audio file in the skip mode. The following assumes that there are five "BWF" and three "SDII" files on the disk.

Tips:

When setting a disk that contains both "BWF" and "SDII" audio files, the "001" file of the type ("BWF" and/or "SDII") set by the AUDIO FILE switch is selected.

• To select a file of the same file type

Follow the procedure below.

1. Press the [FILE SEL] key while stopped.

The current file number starts flashing.

2. Rotate the jog dial to select a desired file number, and press the [ENTER/YES] key.

You can select from among files of the same file type. For example, if "001" of the five "BWF" files is currently selected, you can select among "001" through "005", as well as flashing "New File?" which appears by rotating the jog dial fully clockwise. As explained earlier, "New File?" should be selected when you create a new audio file.

After selecting the desired file number, pressing the [ENTER/YES] key switches the current audio file to the selected one, and the display shows the beginning of the file.

• To select a file of the different file type

Follow the procedure below.

1. Set the [AUDIO FILE] switch to the desired position.

For example, if you want to select an "SDII" file when a "BWF" file is currently selected, set the [A UDIO FILE] switch to "SDII". In the "FORMA T " section on the display, "BWF" is lit while "SDII" flashes.

2. Press the [FILE SEL] key while stopped.

The current file number starts flashing.

3. Rotate the jog dial to select a desired file number, and press the [ENTER/YES] key.

You can select from among files of the selected file type in step 1 above. For example, if selecting from among "SDII" files, you can select among "001" through "003", as well as flashing "New File?" which appears by rotating the jog dial fully clockwise. As explained earlier, "New File?" should be selected when you create a new audio file.

After selecting the desired file number, pressing the [ENTER/YES] key switches the current audio file to the selected one, and the display shows the beginning of the file.

Recording to a "Tape mode" audio file in the INSERT mode

You can record to a "T ape mode " audio file only in the INSERT mode. If an accident may happens, such as a sudden power failure or shutdown of the unit, recorded data on a "T ape mode" audio file will survive. Therefore, it will be suitable for live recording or preserving data for a long period of time.

<Note>

• When formatting a disk in the Tape mode, two "Tape mode" audio files are created automatically. Unlike a "Normal mode" audio file, you cannot create more than one "Tape mode" audio file on a disk. however, note that you can create "Normal mode" audio files on a disk formatted in the Tape mode. (See the next page.)

• You cannot undo a recording to a " on the display and the key operation is ineffective.

• When "

Creating a "Normal mode" audio file on a disk formatted in the Tape mode

Two "Tape mode" audio files of approximately 2.0GB size are created on a disk formatted in the Tape mode, spending 4GB disk space. Therefore, in the remaining 0.7GB space, you can create "Normal mode" audio files.

1. While a "Tape mode" audio file is selected, press the [FILE SEL] key.

The current "Tape mode" file number flashes.

2. Rotate the [JOG] dial to show "New File?" with the flashing file number.

Depending on whether you change the [AUDIO FILE] switch setting or not before pressing the [FILE SEL] key, the file number shown is different. The following assumes that the current "Tape mode" file is "BWF".

Recording a digital sour ce in the NEW FILE mode

The following describes how to record a digital source in the NEW FILE mode. In the same way as recording an analog source, you can record a digital source in the NEW FILE mode to a disk formatted in the Normal mode. We assume that we are going to record a digital audio source in stereo.

<Note>

Preparation

Connection to external devices

1. Connect the external digital source outputs to the [TR2-1] of the [DIGIT AL INPUT] section of the unit.

Channels L and R of the source are assigned to tracks 1 and 2 of the unit respectively. The digital input signal format (AES/EBU or S/P DIF) is automatically recognized.

<Note>

When receiving a stereo digital signal with 176.4 kHz or 192 kHz Fs, connect channels L and R of the source to

[TR2-1]

and

[TR4-3]

of the

[DIGIT AL INPUT]

section respectively.

2. Connect a pair of monitor speakers with built-in amplifiers or an amplifier/speaker system to the [TR 1] and [TR 2] connectors of the [ANALOG OUTPUT] section of the unit.

3. If you want to lock the unit to a word or video signal, feed an appropriate external clock signal to the [WORD IN] or [VIDEO IN].

Time code recor ding

This chapter describes how to record time code generated by the internal time code generator or external time code.

Page 64

Time code recording

The unit can be referenced to SMPTE/EBU time code. SMPTE time code is applied to countries adopting the NTSC television system, while EBU time code is applied to countries adopting the PAL/SECAM system.

Selecting the recording mode

Two methods are available for recording time code.

• Recording time code together with audio simultaneously

When recording audio and time code while creating a new file: Use the [NEW FILE] mode.

When recording new time code to an existing file: Use the [INSERT] mode to record both audio and time code simultaneously.

Selecting source time code

Two time code sources to be recorded are available.

• Time code generated by the internal time code generator.

• External time code received from the [TIME CODE INPUT] connector.

<Note>

Actually, the DV40 records only the starting time of time code in the dedicated area and does not stripe it throughout a track. Therefore, recording time code does not consume the recording space of a disk.

Normally you can stripe any time code values in 24 hours to a file. However, with a high-sampling “SDII” file, the recordable time code values are limited.

Unlike time code striped on an audio or video tape, time code on a disk is not striped from the beginning to the end. Only the offset between the ABS time and time code at the recording start point is recorded.

Therefore, if you record a discontinuous time code value in the middle, the unit cannot recognize it. Also, the user bit when time code starts recording is valid throughout the time code, so the unit cannot handle the user bit that changes in the middle.

3. Press the [TC RDY] key to arm the time code trac k.

The TC RDY indicator is lit while "TC RDY" is shown on the display.

4. After pressing the [SHIFT] key to make the SHIFT mode active, press the [CHASE/(TC SETUP)] key to enter the TC SETUP mode, then preset the internal time code generator time if necessary .

See page 5-6 for details about how to preset the internal time code generator time.

Recording external time code

You can record time code together with audio while synchronizing the unit to external time code generated by an external generator or striped on a video/audio tape, etc. This section describes settings and operations for time code recording. See "Chapter 4: Audio recording/playbac k" for details about settings and operations for audio recording.

The following description assumes that one of the [A UDIO RDY] key indicators ([NEW FILE] or

[INSERT]) is lit.

• Editing the LTC start time

You can set the LTC start time at the "ABS 0" (beginning of an audio file) position to a desired value. The start time of time code recorded with the [TC READY] key set to ON can be edited later. If you record time code with the [TC READY] key set to OFF, “01H 00M 00S 00F 00SF” (default) is recorded as the start time.

Tips:

The unit records only the LTC start time. It generates and outputs time code in reference to the start time. In a BWF file, the start time is stored in "Time Reference" in "Broadcast Audio Extension Chunk", while, in a SDII file, it is stored in "Time Stamp" in "Region List Resource Spec". Therefore, if you want to use this LTC by the Digidesign Pro Tools, make the User Time Code valid after importing the audio file.

Storing a time to an edit point memory

The following describes how to store a time to an edit point memory required for track editing. There are two methods for enter a time; "on the fly" and "numerical entry".

<Notes>

• If you want to store a time based on LTC instead of ABS time, select the displayed time to LTC using the

[DISP TIME]

• Edit point memories can be used by all audio files, however, turning off the power clears all the memories and resets them to the initial value (00H 00M 00S 00F 00SF).

• Capturing a time "on the fly"

During playback, you can capture a time at the desired point "on the fly" and store it to an edit point memory.

1. Press the [PLA Y] ke y to start playback.

2. Press the [STORE] key at the point you want to capture the time.

The time data at the point when pressing the key is held and the display shows something like the example below. To store the time to any of the edit point memories, ignore the display and go to step 3.

Tips:

If you press an edit point key whose corresponding memory does not hold data, "00H 00M 00S 00SF" is shown. You can enter the desired time from this condition and store it to the edit point memory.

2. Enter the desired time.

There are two methods for time entry as below.

• Use the |<</>>| keys to move the flashing (edit) point, and use the jog dial to enter a value.

If the value of the edit point overruns or underruns, the value of the left digit increments or decrements respectively.

• Use the numeric keys to enter a time directly.

Each number is entered from the right digit, which moves left as additional digits are entered. For example, to enter "00H 12M 15S 00F 00SF", press 0 -> 0 -> 1 -> 2 -> 1 -> 5 -> 0 -> 0 -> 0 -> 0.

<Note>

You must always set an IN point earlier than the corresponding OUT point. (i.e. SOURCE IN < SOURCE OUT, DEST IN < DEST OUT)

Tips:

If you enter an inappropriate value to one of these digits, the unit automatically calculates and set the proper time. For example, if you enter "00H 12M 75S 00F 00SF", the stored time value is "00H 13M 15S 00S 00SF".

3. Press the [STORE] key.

"Select Memories?" is shown on the display, as in step 2 on the previous page.

Ignore the display and go to the next step.

4. Press a desired edit point key .

The edited time data is stored to the appropriate memory.

Storing a time to a locate point memory (CUE/MEMOR Y)

Using the [CUE POINT] or [MEMORY] key, you can store a desired point time to a locate point memory, and use it to locate there later. You can also give desired names to them or clear the data.

In the same way as with edit point memories, there are two methods for storing a time data to a locate point memory; "on the fly" and "numerical entry".

<Notes>

• If you want to store a locate point based on LTC instead of ABS time, select the displayed time to LTC

using the [DISP TIME] key in advance.

• 99 CUE point memories (01 through 99) are available in the CUE bank. The CUE point memories can be used only for the current audio file.

• 99 MEMORY points (01 through 99) are available in the MEMORY bank, however, you can freely store a desired time to MEMORY points 04 through 99. MEMORY points 01 through 03 are reserved for the specific points as below and data are automatically stored.

MEMORY 01: Last Play Memory

The last playback start time is automatically stored. This memory is overwritten each time playback starts.

MEMORY 02: Last Record In

The last recording start time is automatically stored. This memory is overwritten each time recording starts.

MEMORY 03: Last Record Out

The last recording end time is automatically stored. This memory is overwritten each time recording ends.

The MEMORY point data are stored to the flash ROM in the unit, therefore, you can use the MEMORY data with any audio files on any disks.

Tips:

If you change the current audio file to another one and store a time to a new MEMORY point, the MEMORY point numbers used in the previous file(s) cannot be used, as shown below. However, All the MEMORY points can be used with any audio files.

Mem 04

Audio File 001

Mem 08 Mem 09

Audio File 002

Audio File 003

In the diagram above, MEMORY points 04 through 07 were stored when Audio File 001 was selected. However, you can use MEMORY points 04 through 11 with Audio File 001. However, only the MEMORY points within the recorded area are effective, so MEMORY points 07 and 10 are not effective with Audio File 003. If you select Audio File 003 and check MEMORY 07 or 10, "--H--M--S--F--SF" is shown.

MEMORY point data are not cleared when reformatting a disk. To clear unnecessary MEMORY point, see "Clearing a CUE or MEMORY point".

As shown in the above drawings, if you have stored MEMORY point data on more than one audio file, the MEMORY points are not always numbered in order of ABS time. In the above example, the MEMORY points in order of ABS time are; MEMORY 08 -> 04 -> 09 -> 05 -> 11

-> 06 -> 12 -> 10 -> 07 .

Tips: Bank selection

When storing time data to a locate point memory "on the fly" by pressing the [ST ORE] key, the destination bank (the CUE or MEMORY bank) is initially selected to the one previously used for storing time data. The first time you press the [STORE] key after turning on the power, the CUE bank is selected (shown by "CUE" lit on the display).

If you store time data to a locate point memory in the currently selected bank, go to step 3-1.

If you store time data to a locate point memory in the bank which is not currently selected, go to step 3-2. (Pressing the appropriate locate point key for the first time switches the bank.)

"MEMORY" is lit

3-1. To store the time data to a locate point memory in the current bank, press the appropriate locate

point key ([MEMORY] or [CUE POINT] key).

The time data is stored to the flashing locate point memory in the current bank, and the display returns to the previous screen.

Tips:

You can select the locate point memory number using the jog dial while the memory number is flashing.

3-2. T o store the time data to a locate point memory in the bank which is not currently selected, press the

appropriate locate point key ([MEMORY] or [CUE POINT] key) twice.

Pressing the key for the first time switches the current bank. Pressing the key again stores the time data to the flashing locate point memory in the newly selected bank, and the display returns to the previous screen.

Tips:

If you store another time data to a locate point memory in the newly selected bank, you do not need to press the appropriate key twice.

The tentative name begins by "S" or "B" which shows the file format ("S" for "SDII" and "B" for "BWF") selected by the [AUDIO FILE] switch in step 1 above, followed by the time and date when the file is created. A tentative name can be edited. See "Editing a file name" described later.

If you create another audio file, regardless of whether the currently selected audio file is "T ape mode" or "Normal mode", carry out steps 1 through 4 above and then use the jog dial to show "New File?", followed by pressing the [ENTER/YES] key.

Tips:

The file number of a newly created "Normal mode" audio file depends on the format of the two "Tape mode" audio files. If you create a "Normal mode" audio file of the same format as the "T ape mode" audio files, "003" is as- signed to the file number. If you create a "Normal mode" audio file of the different format from the "Tape mode" audio files, "001" is assigned to the file number.

Selecting an audio file

You can select an audio file by using the file select or skip function.

Tips:

By using the "File Sort?" menu in the Setup mode, you can sort audio files by name or date, allowing file selection easier. See "Chapter 15: Setup mode" for details.

• Selecting a file using the file select function

The following assumes that three "BWF" and two "SDII" files are created on a disk and the "BWF 001" file is currently selected.

1. Select a desired audio file format between "BWF" and "SDII" using the [AUDIO FILE] switc h.

If you select "SDII", "SDII" is lit instead of "BWF" in the FORMAT information area on the display.

2. Press the [FILE SEL] key.

"001", the audio file number of the selected file format in step 1, flashes on the display, showing that a file

3. Use the jog dial or [SKIP/CURSOR] [|<<] / [>>|] keys to select a desired file number, and press the [ENTER/YES] key.

The display shows the beginning of the selected audio file.

Tips:

By pressing the [FILE SEL] key after pressing the [SHIFT] key (to turn on the indicator), you can select audio files from among both the file directories ("bwff" and "sd2f").

• Selecting a file using the skip function

You can select an audio file using the [SKIP/CURSOR] ([|<<] / [>>|]) keys by setting the "Skip Mode?" menu in the Setup mode to "File". "File" is the initial setting, therefore, as long as you

keep this setting, you can carry out the file selection using the skip function. If the "Skip Mode?" menu is set to "CUE" or "MEM", change the option to "File". See "Chapter 15: Setup mode" for details about how to set the "Skip Mode?" menu.

<Note>

Using the skip function, you can select an audio file among those in the same directory ("bwff" or "sd2f").

1. While stopped, press the [SKIP/CURSOR] [|<<] or [>>|] key.

Pressing the [|<<] key skips to the beginning of the previous audio file, while pressing the [>>|] key skips to the beginning of the next audio file. You can skip to the beginning of a desired file by pressing [|<<] or [>>|] key repeatedly as many times as required. When the file is skipped, the display shows the beginning of the selected audio file, as shown in the examples below. where *********** shows a file name.

Tips: File extension

Generally, each file has a file extension; ".wav" for a "BWF" file, or ".sd2" for a "SDII" file. When editing the name of a "BWF" file, if you enter a name without the file extension, ".wav" is automatically added. ".sd2" is not automatically added to the name of a "SDII". Note that the display only shows up to 16 characters, therefore, if an edited name has 17 or more characters, only the first 16 characters are shown.

5. Enter a desired name.

You can enter characters by two ways as below.

• Use the jog dial to enter a character at the flashing point. You can move the flashing point to the

right using the [SKIP/CURSOR] [>>|] key.

• Use the numeric keys at the flashing point. When pressing another numeric key, the flashing point moves to the right.

6. After you finish entering the desired name, press the [ENTER/YES] key.

After showing "Please Wait!" followed by "Completed!", the display returns to show the beginning of the audio file.

Tips: Restoring a deleted file

A deleted file still remains on the disk as a hidden file, therefore, you can restore a deleted file. See "Restoring a deleted audio file" on the next page. When selecting an audio file using the file select function, the deleted file is shown on the display as "<<Hidden File>>". The display example below shows that audio file 008 which has been deleted still remains on the disk as a hidden file.

NEXTPGM

<Note>

If you optimize the disk when any deleted audio file is hidden, the hidden audio file is completely deleted from the disk and you cannot restore the file anymore. If you select the completely deleted file using the file select function, " instead of "

<<Hidden File>>

", indicating that the file is completely deleted.

<<Deleted File>>

" is shown,

Tips:

If you delete all the (two) "Tape mode" audio files on a disk formatted in the Tape mode and then optimize the disk, the disk becomes equivalent to the one formatted in the "Normal" mode.
