Mounting Rules
This dialog allows various rules to be applied when parsing BWF or Wave files in a given folder. Pyra-
mix always tries to group multiple mono files that are part of a single multi-track media when viewed in
the Media Manager so the multiple mono files appear as a single item with multiple tracks numbered in
the form A 1-2 or A 1-8, or A 1-2, 7-8, etc. Otherwise, you would see a separate entry for each mono file
whether or not it is part of a multi-track 'set'. In order to achieve this in the case of BWF files Pyramix
looks at the BWF header and uses the Originator Reference field as a Unique Identifier with some
rules as defined by the EBU organization and some conventions adopted between various manufactur-
ers.
It may happen that some files do not follow these rules and therefore sometimes the Pyramix Media
Manager fails to properly mount these files. Sometimes some files are missing, or some tracks within a
multi-track media are missing. The Pyramix Media Manager detects these conflicts at the time the folder
is mounted and informs the user of such a problem, prompting him to go to the Media Manager > Drive
> Mounting Rules menu item. The Mounting Rules dialog allows a variety of different rules to be
applied for this or these Media Folders so all files are properly mounted.
Folders where a conflict has been detected appear in Red.
Folders where a special Mounting Rule has been applied now appear in Dark Green.
The description of the Rules that can be applied appears in the Mounting Rules dialog
