File name mode setting

When creating a new audio file, you can give a name in either of two formats; a desired file name followed by a take number which automatically increments, or a name including date/time information.

This setting is dependent on files and stored in the Flash ROM.

Each name starts by the file type ("S" for SD2 or "B" for

 

BWF), followed by time and date information and ends

 

by the file extension. This is the default.

“DATE”

For example, if you create a new SDII audio file at

 

15H:30M:40S on the 10th of May in 2002, the file name

 

will be "S15h 30m 40s may 2002.sd2". If a new BWF

 

audio file is created at the same date/time, the file name

 

will be "B15h 30m 40s may 2002.wav".

 

 

 

Each name starts by the file name which can be set in

“TAKE”

the "Default File Name?" menu described below, followed

by a Take number which automatically increments, and

 

 

ends by the file extension.

 

 

<Note>

If you do not set the default file name correctly in the "Default File Name?" menu (described below), the DV40 automatically gives a name to a newly created file in the "DATE" mode regardless of the "F.Name MD?" set- ting.

Default file name setting

When creating a new audio file, you can specify a desired file name (default file name) followed by a take number which automatically increments. The default file name and starting take number can be set in the "DefaultFileName?" menu and are effective only when setting "F.Name MD?" to "TAKE".

If you create a new audio file, the DV40 gives a file name starting by the specified file name, followed by the take number and ended by the file exten- sion. Each time recording in the NEW FILE mode is made, a new audio file with an incremented take number is created.

See Tips on the next page.

<Note>

You do not need to set the file extension (".sd2" or ".wav"), which is automatically added to the file name/ take number.
