Emptying The False Take Folders; Track Naming; Take List - Sound Devices 788T-SSD User Manual And Technical Information

788T/788T-SSD User Guide and Technical Information
Alternatively, the last take can be identifi ed as a False Take from within the Take List. This can be
done by decrementing the take number to match the most recent recorded take's fi lename.
Files that have been confi rmed as false takes are moved to the FALSETAKES folder. When record-
ing to internal drive, CompactFlash, and external FireWire storage devices, fi les determined as False
Takes will be moved to the FALSETAKES folder on each storage media that the fi le has been writ-
ten to. This folder sits in the drive root. False Takes will remain on the drive until the FALSETAKES
folder is emptied.

Emptying the False Take Folders

Files that have been moved to the False Take folders can be permanently deleted from each media
in the Drive Options Menu by selecting EMPTY TRASH. Each drive has its own False Take folder and
they are permanently deleted independently. Once the False Take folder has been emptied, any fi les
it contains are permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.

Track Naming

Each track in a fi le, whether monophonic or polyphonic, can be named with a unique, descriptive
track name. Descriptive track names such as 'radio mic 1', 'boom 2' or 'John Smith' are more helpful
to editors than track numbers. Track names with up to 26 characters are managed in the Setup Menu
option REC: TRACK NAMES. The track names selected prior to recording are stored in the Broadcast
Wave Extension (BEXT) data as well as in the iXML data.

Take List

All metadata edits and entries performed in the Take List and are applied across all avail-
able media that contain the select take. The Take List is accessed via the Setup Menu option
FILE: VIEW TAKE LIST or by simply pressing the HDD key.
The File Viewer (Drive Directory) (formerly accessed by pressing the HDD key) is now ac-
cessed by pressing the soft DRV (HDD) key from within the Take List or via the Setup Menu op-
tion FILE: VIEW FILES.
The Take List contains a list of every Polyphonic or Monophonic take that has been recorded by the
788T. Takes must be recorded with 1.51 (Wildcat Beta) or greater in order to view them in the Take
List.
The name of the take is displayed on the left hand side of the Take List. The right hand side of the
Take List displays additional fi le information. The type of information displayed can be toggled by
pressing in on the Multi Function Rotary Switch. Each press will toggle between the following infor-
mation.
