Euphonix Version 4 Supplement to the R-1 Operation Manual
Chapter 7: Transfer Station
The R-1 Transfer Station archives R-1 recordings in the non-proprietary AES-31 format
for later use in any AES-31 compliant recorder, storage on a server, and back up like oth-
er types of critical data. The Transfer Station performs the backup archiving tasks of the
R-1 so the R-1 can continue to record during a session.
The Transfer Station has many of the same features found in the R-1, such as editing
and moving audio clips, but does not play or record audio.
CAUTION:The Transfer Station software cannot be installed on the same computer
7.1
Using the Transfer Station
The Transfer Station imports and exports AES-31 to and from R-1 Audio Titles. The
Transfer station can be utilized as an audio archival station, a backup station, or an au-
dio editor.
7.1.1
Archive Station
The Transfer Station can export audio recorded onto an R-1 to removable media or a
network. When placed on removable media, the archive can be placed in a suitable stor-
age area. On a network the files can be managed by the network administrator and
shared with other playback devices that read AES-31 titles.
7.1.2
Backup Station
When using the Transfer station for backup tasks, the engineer exports all AES-31 and
R-1 titles used for the session from the Transfer Station to the R-1. At the end of each
day's session, the engineer performs the same procedure with the replace existing au-
dio parameter unchecked. This exports any new audio to their respective folders, re-
places the last AES-31 titles with new ones, and also replaces R-1 titles with newer
versions. This archive would then be considered the safety backup of the session with
the R-1 disks functioning as the masters.
NOTE: When using the Transfer Station as a backup station, it is imperative
that the correct Export To folder be selected, other wise the audio may
be duplicated more than once.
that runs the R-1 software. Do not install the Transfer Station software on
an R-1 Pilot PC. The Transfer Station software runs only on the Windows
2000 operating system.
