It is recommended that files in the same play list or reel be of the same resolution, frame rate, and codec.

Playback Rate of Audio Files

Audio files (WAV) will always be played back at the sample rate of the PIX 260i. The sample rate that
the file was originally recorded at (and that is stamped in the file's header) will be ignored by PIX
260i during playback, and the PIX 260i will play the file at the current sample rate, as determined
by Setup Menu option [Timecode/Sync - Sync Ref - Audio Only Mode]. When Setup Menu option
[Timecode/Sync - Sync Ref - Audio Only Mode] is set to Internal, audio files will play back at the
sample rate of Setup Menu option [Audio - Audio Mode Sample Rate], even in Video Mode.

Non-Native File Playback

The PIX 260i can playback QuickTime .mov files and PCM .wav files generated by third party ap-
plications and devices.
Exporting QT Files for 260i Playback
When exporting QuickTime files for PIX 260i playback be sure to set audio to 48kHz. The PIX 260i
cannot playback more than two QuickTime tracks of audio. If multi-channel audio is required, it is
recommended that the multi-channel audio is interleaved into a single QuickTime audio track.
