Selecting a particular file displays more detailed
information about that file in the detail display area at
the top right of the file list.
In the Frame Memory menu, the following items are
also shown.
Pair: In the case of a pair file, "P" is shown.

Selecting Regions

You can carry out a file operation on a number of regions
simultaneously. However, a region selection is not
required for the following files.
• Key memory
• Video process memory
• Shotbox
• Macro
• Macro attachment
• Frame memory
• Setup
• Initial status
• User Setup
• User source name
In the above list, for frame memory in Dual Simul mode
you can select the switcher to be used for the operation in
a way similar to the region selection. For setup and initial
status, you can similarly separate the files to be operated
on by device.

Selecting a Device for Operations

To carry out file operations, you need to specify the device
holding the data (or file), as one of the following: register,
hard disk, memory card, and so on. You can then further
select a directory.
If you have enabled NFS (Network File System) in setup,
you can add "Network" to the device for operations.
If you specify "Network," you can access System Manager
through the network for file saving and loading.
For details of the NFS settings, see "Making the Network
Settings" (page 141).
Notes
• Files saved on the hard disk may be lost if the hard disk
fails. Always keep separate backup copies of important
files on a memory card.
• Format a memory card before using it for the first time
(see page 157).
As an example, to select a memory card, use the following
procedure.
1
In the File menu, press the device selection indication
above the file list (default is [HDD] (hard disk)).
If [Memory Card] appears, then since the memory card
is already selected, steps 1 and 2 are not necessary.
A pull-down menu appears.
2
Press [Memory Card].
A list of directories on the memory card appears
(Maximum 40 per page).
The maximum number of directories is 120 on a
memory card and NFS, or 200 on an internal hard disk.
3
As required, press the b or B button, to switch
directory pages.
4
Press the name of the directory you want to use.
This selects the specified directory on the memory
card to be manipulated.

Saving Files

As an example, to save snapshot register data to hard disk
or memory card, use the following procedure.
