Part 5 – THE MEDIA

Media Menu

The MEDIA menu gives access to all the file and storage components of the machine. This section is
broken into 5 sub-divisions covering the Directory, Folder, Drive, Copy Status and Auto copy. Each of
which is covered in detail below.
Directory
The directory is the list of files located in the currently selected working folder on the selected drive. Each file
has a certain quantity of data associated with it known as Metadata. This data is shown next to the highlighted
file. (Folder, index, length.... Please refer to the METADATA section for more detailed explanations). The UP
and DOWN keys on the right of the display will move through the list of files, and their corresponding
metadata will be displayed automatically.
Play: Playback the selected file irrespective of the current machine settings. i.e. a file of a different
sampling frequency and bit depth can be played back without changing the settings of the
machine. This can be used when the main function switch is in PLAY, STOP or TEST (without
pre-record) but NOT in the REC. position.
Copy Index: Allows the file(s) to be copied from the current folder to another media.
Delete Index: Permanently erase the currently highlighted file.
Edit: Open the internal audio editor (If option installed) on this file
Edit Metadata: This function allows the user to alter previously recorded metadata, after the event.
Remove Marks: Delete all markers in the highlighted file.
Prepare to transmit the highlighted file (according to transmission options).
Transmit:
Renumber: Renumber the files in the directory, either from zero or starting from a specific number.
Create Report: Generate a text file listing all the Metadata of all the recordings of the current folder and
save it to the disk. If the "auto copy" function is active then the report will also be saved on
the destination drive.
