Time Code Frame Rate

Next is the TIME CODE FRAME RATE

Mirroring button

The Mirroring button displays the status or the internal and external mirror drives. Touching this button
brings you to the My Deva menu.

CUR

CUR shows the INDEX NUMBER of the current take (either the take being recorded or played back). This
is also an active display button which takes you to the Internal Disk Folder.

Total

Total shows the total number of takes in the current FOLDER.

Folder

Folder is the name of the current folder. The Folder is the hard drive partition currently being recorded
onto. Normally, a new partition would be set up for each Sound Roll, or each day's work. The Folder Num-
ber would then be the equivalent of the Sound Roll Number. You can also rename the folder without num-
bers, and that name appears on the home screen and the folder when mirrored to a DVD-RAM disc or
external hard drive. Currently a folder is set a 4 GB in size. Future firmware updates will allow a folder can
be any size up to the maximum capacity of the hard drive.

MetaData

The bottom of the screen displays the User entered 'metadata'. This is information that can be entered
regarding each take. This can include Scene and Take numbers, Wild Track numbers, and brief notes up to
16 Characters. This is an active display button which will take you to the SCENE TAKE NOTE menu.

Status Button

Select the STATUS button (STOP, PLAY, RECORD) to go to the next menu.
