788T/788T-SSD User Guide and Technical Information

Notes

Notes can be added to a Take to describe its contents. BEXT and iXML support notes fi elds. To add
notes to a Take:

2. Highlight the desired fi le.
3. Press the soft EDIT (Play) key to access the Take Edit Menu.
4. Select Notes
5. Enter text in the Notes fi eld using the Multi-Function Rotary Switch or a USB Keyboard.
6. Press the soft Check Mark (TONE) key or simultaneously press the CTRL and Enter keys from a USB
Keyboard to save Notes. Pressing the soft X (LCD BACKLIGHT) key or Esc on a USB Keyboard will
cancel the Notes entry.
Entering notes using an external USB keyboard is quicker than the Multi-Function Rotary Switch.

Renaming Takes

Takes can be renamed in the Take Edit Menu during and after recording. Renaming a take renames
its associated fi les and updates their embedded metadata. Edits made to the Take name are applied
across all media and associated mono fi les. The new name can be up to 26 characters in length in-
cluding the .WAV extension.

Duplicate Takes

With the ability to rename fi les and edit scene names directly from the 788T, it is possible to gener-
ate fi les with duplicate fi le names. In this event, the 788T will detect that a fi le with the same name
already exists and will ask the user if a duplicate fi le should be created. If the user selects to do so,
the resulting fi le name will be pre-fi xed with a +. If this occurs for more than two fi les, an additional
+ will be added respectively for every fi le altered.

Circle Take

Take names can be altered to include the "@" symbol preceding the fi le name. This can be used to
highlight a take as a "Circled Take". Circled Takes are often used to identify good takes for transfer-
ring. Circle Take information is also embedded within the BEXT and IXML data chunks.
