required. Click "Change Encode Type and Reboot" to complete the change and reboot
the system.

"Play" is selected, or all clips on the media (All) or in the playlist (Playlist) will be played.

The reel name is a number between 1 and 999. It determines the reel name associated
with all clips generated using this setting. It is also the name of the media as it will appear
when the storage device is mounted on a Mac OSX desktop. To enter a specific value,
click on the number to highlight it, type in a value, and press Enter to confirm the new
value. You may also click and drag on the slider to make adjustments. To increment by
single values using the slider, click the slider to highlight it, and then press the "back"
arrow or "forward" arrow on your keyboard. Note: the Reel Name cannot be changed
once a recording session starts on the storage unit without reformatting the drive.
This parameter determines the clip name associated with all clips generated while using
this setting. The clip name is either "Clip" or "SC".
