Transferring Files

You can transfer files between two selected e-VTRs.

1 In the Network Device Register window, select two e- VTRs and display the VTR window for each e-VTR.

2 Select the file to transfer from the sending side VTR window, and drag and drop it to the file list in the receiving side VTR window.

The file transfer starts.

During the file transfer, the transfer LED on the front panels of the e-VTRs flash. The File Transfer Progress window appears on the computer screen, displaying the transfer progress as a percentage value and a bar graph.

When the transfer finishes, the information for the transferred file appears in the file list of the receiving side VTR window.

Note

Files cannot be received if the Tele-File label is write inhibited or if 100% is displayed as the Tele-File percent usage value in the receiving side VTR window (see page 24). In addition, if there are no files defined on a cassette, the tape is rewound and recording starts at the tape top whenever a file is received. This overwrites any content that may have been previously recorded at the tape top.

Transferring multiple files at once

You can select multiple files in the sending side VTR window by holding down the Shift key or Ctrl key as you click on the files. Drag and drop all of the selected files to the file list in the receiving side VTR window. The files are transferred in the order in which they appear in the sending side file list.

The File Transfer Progress window shown below appears during file transfers.

In addition to a progress bar and transfer percentage value, the following status information is displayed beneath the progress bar.

When you are transferring multiple files, the number of the file currently being transferred appears to the right of the file name.

Stopping or canceling a file transfer

When you click on the Stop button or the Cancel button, the file transfer stops and the File Transfer Progress window closes.

When you click on the Stop button, a real file is recorded on the receiving side even when a file has only been partially transferred.

When you click on the Cancel button, the partially transferred file is discarded.

Note that you can stop the transfer of a file transfer only when Open File Transfer has been checked using the Setup command in the File menu in the main window of e-VTR Manager.
