File Interchange

The R-1 can now capture sound files from either the R-1 Directory system or the
displayed track sheet, and export them as Broadcast WAV (BWAV) files. BWAV files
are extended versions of the WAV format. They are compatible with any software that
reads WAV files (Windows and Macintosh platforms), even if that software does not
use or preserve the additional data. BWAV is the standard file format of the European
Broadcast Union and of the committee developing the AES 31 file interchange standard.
The main advantage of the BWAV format is the preservation of track and time informa-
tion between a BWAV-compatible editing system and the R-1. The R-1 can export the
file to the editing software and then re-import the file to the precise time and track from
which it was originally exported. The R-1 can also import standard WAV files.
The R-1 creates multichannel files from its linked channel recordings. Imported source
files and exported target files can be located on the R-1's local drive, an optional random
access SCSI drive attached to the R-1's pilot computer port, or a networked storage device
attached to the R-1's built-in Ethernet port.
To facilitate the R-1's use as a 24-bit/96 kHz mastering recorder, version 4 allows direct
transfer of multichannel BWAV files to a DVD authoring system.

Title Sheet to EDL Conversion

The R-1 can convert any Sheet from a Title to an AES Edit Decision List (EDL), named
with an .adl suffix, and R-1 audio clips to an AES 31 Broadcast Wave File (BWAV),
named with a .wav suffix. The process can also be reversed: AES 31 content can be con-
verted back into an R-1 Title or Sheet for playback and editing on an R-1.
NOTE: The R-1 Sheet, not the Title, gets converted to an AES 31 Title in the Export process.
Before Exporting or Importing, set up the Default Folders Location used by the R-1 to
place and access titles for import/export. These settings are found in the AES-31 import
and export dialogs.
