Creating A New File On A Disk Just After Formatted In The Tape Mode - Fostex DV40 Operation Manual

• Creating a new file on a disk just after formatted in the Tape mode

You can create more than one "Normal mode" audio file (of the "BWF" or "SDII" format) on a
disk formatted in the Tape mode.
In the following procedure, we assume that a disk just after formatted in the Tape mode is
loaded and a "Tape mode" audio file of the "BWF" format is selected.
<Note>
"Normal mode" audio files are created in the remaining area of a disk after two "Tape mode" audio files
(occupying approximately 2 GB per each file) are created when the disk is formatted in the Tape mode.
Therefore, approximately 0.5 GB space can be used by "Normal mode" audio files.
1. Select a desired audio file format between "BWF" and "SDII" using the [AUDIO FILE] switch.
2. Select a desired track mode using the [TR MODE] switch.
3. Select a desired sampling frequency/bit length combination using the [SAMPLING FREQ] switch.
4. Press the [FILE SEL] key.
"New FIle?" appears with flashing "01" or "03", depending on the [AUDIO FILE] switch selection in step 1
above.
If you select "SDII", "01" flashes because this will be the first "SDII" file in the "sd2f" directory.
If you select "BWF", "03" flashes because this will be the third "BWF" file in the "bwff" directory (two "Tape
mode" BWF files are already created).

5. Press the [ENTER/YES] key.
A "Normal mode" audio file is created and the display shows the tentative file name, as well as the "ABS 0"
time (the beginning of the file). The tentative name begins by "S" or "B" which shows the file format ("S"
for "SDII" and "B" for "BWF") selected by the [AUDIO FILE] switch in step 1 above, followed by the time and
date when the file is created.
A tentative name can be edited. See "Editing a file name" described later.
If you create another audio file, regardless of whether the currently selected audio file is "Tape mode" or
"Normal mode", carry out steps 1 through 4 above and then use the jog dial to show "New File?", followed
by pressing the [ENTER/YES] key.
Tips:
The file number of a newly created
"Normal mode" audio file depends
on the format of the two "Tape
mode" audio files.
If you create a "Normal mode" au-
dio file of the same format as the
"Tape mode" audio files, "03" is as-
signed to the file number.
If you create a "Normal mode" au-
dio file of the different format from
the "Tape mode" audio files, "01" is
assigned to the file number.
