File Access Operations (Windows) - Sony PDW-D1 Operation Manual

4-3 File Access
Operations
(Windows)
Accessing files with
nonlinear editing software
For details of the file access operations, refer to the
manual provided with the editing software to be
used.
Accessing files with Explorer
Start Windows Explorer and check that a
drive letter has been assigned to this unit.
(The drive letter will differ depending on
the number of other peripherals connected
to the remote computer.)
You can perform file operations on the disc
loaded in this unit in the same way that you
operate on local drives and files on network
computers.
Note
All file operations are not possible for some
types of files.
For details, see 4-1-2 "File Operation Restrictions"
(page 31).
To eject discs from a remote
computer
Right click the icon representing this unit in
Explorer, and select Eject from the menu
which appears.
Using PDZ-1 Proxy Browsing
Software
When a computer with the PDZ-1 Proxy
Browsing Software installed is connected to
this unit, you can transfer the proxy AV
data and metadata files recorded on a disc to
the computer. On the computer side, PDZ-1
enables you to browse the proxy AV data,
add or modify metadata (titles, comments,
essence marks, etc.), or create a clip list.
The modified metadata and the created clip
list can then be written back to the disc
loaded in this unit.
Switching from file operations to
recording/playback operations
In the PC operation settings dialog box of
the utility software, in the FAM operation
section, change "Login" to "Inhibit."
This changes the connection between this
unit and the computer to an AV/C
connection. (If you change the setting
during disc access or while a file is being
transferred, the new setting takes effect
when the operation is completed.)
