744T User Guide and Technical Information

size maximums of 650 MB, 1 GB, 2 GB, and 4 GB. The 650 MB size allows the user to break an audio program into CD-R sized files for backup to inexpensive CD-R medium.

File Copying – Between Internal Drives

Audio files are easily transferred between CF and the 744T’s hard drive. File transfer is initiated with the setup menu option File:CopyFileSelect.

The Copy File Select menu has four options for each media type:

Copy All [Media] > [Media]:

Copies all files from one media to the other.

Last 24Hr [Media] > [Media]:

Copies files created in the last 24 hours between media.

Last 48Hr [Media] > [Media]:

Copies files created in the last 48 hours between media.

Flagged [Media] > [Media]:

Copies all files with their archive bit set between.

Once file copying has begun, the 744T searches the source media for the selected files. The 744T will then search the destination drive looking for duplicate file names. The LCD will report the number of files found, the number of duplicates found and the net number of files to be copied and prompt to continue.

Pressing the enter key or controller button begins copying. The LCD will report progress of the file being copied and the number of files remaining to be copied. When file copy is complete, the 744T will report the number of files successfully copies and show a progress bar showing the percentage of files successfully copied.

Error Conditions:

If a file is to large for the destination medium, the 744T will give you the option to skip the it or cancel copying. If an error occurs during file copying, the 744T will prompt to cancel the transfer. When the destination medium is full, the 744T will report the error and end the transfer.

File Transfer – FireWire

FireWire port

FireWire cable - 744T to computer

Software revision 1.0 does not support drive mirroring to external FireWire volumes.

The 744T’s FireWire (IEEE-1394) port makes transfer of recorded files to a delivery medium quick and easy. When connected via a 6-pin Firewire cable, the internal media of the 744T will mount to the Mac or Windows platform as local drives. Using Windows Explorer, Mac Finder or any other file utility, files can be copied from the 744T directly to an edit system or to a host system for transfer to a removeable delivery medium.
