BWF files as well. Using Ethernet as the file-exchange medium, DAW files can be exported in. DigiCart EX provides the ability to create playlists from a simple spot break to a complex program lasting days or even weeks. Playlists can be built from individual cuts or other playlists. Great Audio Quality For Production. A high-quality sample rate converter can be positioned at either the input or the output, permitting conversion of any sample rate to 48K, or any other rate. Now In addition to recording new material at bits, it can also deliver bit digital audio for compatibility with other digital audio products, or earlier DigiCart recorders.
Any desired output format, such as 48Kbit, can be selected, regardless of how the original file was recorded. This low-level control is designed to switch a maximum of 28V at mA. Refer to the schematic in Appendix A, Interface Wiring. With properly terminated lines this port can communicate over 1, meters.
Available models include a standard key keyboard, a small footprint mini-keyboard Model RC , or an infraredlinked mini-keyboard Model RC available from Systems. Contact Systems for details on these accessories. The pinout for the digital audio ports can be found in Appendix A, Interface Wiring. The pinout for the analog audio ports can be found in Appendix A, Interface Wiring. The display is generally divided into three areas. In the upper left area are the command lines that show machine dialogs, status, and menus.
The upper right area is used to display context sensitive navigation clues. The lower area is used to display lists of files in a directory. The selection knob or navigation arrow buttons can scroll lists.
Available sample rates are Two front panel Format indicators note the word size 24or bit of the recorded file. Ext Sync illuminates to indicate that sync source is set to an external reference in the Setup menu. The LED blinks if there is no valid sync signal presented at the connector. The Dithered LED illuminates during record when bit digital audio is being dithered down to a 16bit word size.
It is also turned on during playback of a bit cut when the output word size is set to Bits. Dithering settings can be changed in the Setup menus. SRC illuminates to indicate that the Sample Rate Converter has been switched into the data path between the recorded file and connectors. SRC may illuminate during either record or playback. SRC settings can be changed in the Setup menus. When the machine is idle with Input Monitors on, or in Record Ready, or while recording; the front panel indicators show the state of the signal to be recorded.
When the machine is idle with Input Monitors off, or while playing a cut; the front panel indicators show the state of the currently selected cut.
All other front panel indicators are turned off. The indication is on when there is a valid signal at the receiver, and the indication blinks when there is a non-conforming signal at the receiver. These meters have been selected over standard VU meters for their advantages in monitoring digital audio. The Clip LED will turn on during record whenever the signal exceeds digital full scale.
If a clipped file is played, the Clip LED will only turn ON during the period when the signal exceeds digital full scale. The master volume control for this jack is set via a menu item in Setup Set Headphone Level.
The level can be adjusted from 1dB per step , and is saved in non-volatile memory. The button illuminates when the display is at the Drives level. The DIRS button is used to immediately display a list of all available directories on the current drive. The button illuminates when the display is at the Directory level. The FILES button is used to immediately display a scrollable list of all available files in the current directory. The button illuminates when the display is at the Files level.
Use the Arrow buttons to change the parameter setting. Setup options are displayed alphabetically in a rotating list. Setup settings are stored in non-volatile memory. The button illuminates while in Setup mode. Use the selection knob to select a particular Utility function. Utility options are displayed alphabetically in a rotating list. Press EXIT to terminate the selection. Your last menu selection is stored in temporary memory. For example, if you need to repeat a copy operation, that option will be displayed first upon subsequent presses of the UTILITY button.
After recording, the Rename utility is pre-selected. The button illuminates while in Utility mode. The EDIT button is used to access non-destructive editing functions such as head and tail trims, and fades.
It is also used to edit a playlist. Rotate the selection knob to view options. For example, if you need to repeat a fade-in operation, that option will be displayed first upon subsequent presses of the EDIT button.
Turn on the Input Monitor function and enter the Record Ready mode. If a threshold level is set, recording will actually begin when the audio level exceeds the threshold level setting. If using digital inputs, the sampling rate will be automatically set at the same sampling rate as that of the incoming signal, unless Sample Rate Conversion is selected. A Secondary Cue is a signal used for control applications. Secondary Cues will be activated when playing outside of Edit mode, but there is no front panel indication.
Only one Secondary Cue can be recorded per cut. To change the timing of a Secondary Cue, simply re-record it. Play has precedence over other machine functions and will automatically cancel Setup, Utility, or Edit menus and begin to play the currently selected cut or playlist. Press the STOP button to terminate playback or recording. During Follow-on play, or playing a Playlist or loop; pressing STOP will end playback upon completion of the present cut.
The displayed list is scrollable. If there is no current list, the button will not respond. Press the LOOP button to cause the current cut or current cut in the queue or Playlist to continue to cycle until the loop is disabled. Looping can only be activated during Play. The LOOP button indicator will turn off, and the current cut will finish playing, but will not continue to loop. Press STOP a second time to immediately stop playback of the current cut.
After the current cut has finished, the Quickstack or Playlist will continue playing. Pause playback. The button illuminates when active.
Pause recordings. Note that Pause during Record does not work when using digital input. In Stop mode, Pause is used to build a Playlist.
Any cut or Playlist can be assigned to any Hot Key. Hot Keys allow any cut to be played on command by a single key press. Whenever an assigned Hot Key is pressed, the corresponding cut is selected and played at once. A Hot Key will interrupt any other operation or playback of other cut that may have been on-going.
In this way, up to eight Hot Keys can be set up for play from the front panel. The button toggles between the two banks, and illuminates when bank B is active. The button does not illuminate unless the media is accessed.
If spun down, remember to allow a few extra seconds for the Zip disk to spin up the next time you want to use it. You can force the cart to spin up in preparation of playback by selecting a cut or moving to the Directory level and back to the Files level.
The access door on the Zip Disk drive opens inward when a disk is inserted. Zip disks are inserted shutterend first, label side up. During insertion, the shutter slides open to allow the heads access to the two data surfaces. When loaded, the disk is locked in the drive. Note: If the disk is difficult to insert, check its orientation and try again.
Objects inserted into the front of the drive may damage it. Such action will void the manufacturer's warranty. Allow the Zip Disk drive to complete servicing the command requiring disk access. If desired, press STOP. Eject the disk by pressing the eject button.
Drive 0 is always the internal Zip drive. Drive 1 is always the internal hard disk. The internal hard disk can be partitioned into 1 to 5 logical drive partitions see the discussion on Format Disk under Utility Menu Features.
Finally, any of the remaining drive numbers four max. Drive Level. Each may contain up to recordings. Stack Directory. The number of directories cannot be changed, but directories can be labeled for convenience. Cuts can be of any length, but are identified by this fixed Indexing scheme. Directory S is reserved for up to 1, Playlists or Stack files. Playlists are not audio files, but merely listings of file IDs.
Audio files cannot be stored in the Stack Directory. You may choose to organize your network with a combination of widely shared and user-specific drives. For example, there could be centralized repositories for music, sound effects, or other homogenous material that should be made available to everyone. Concurrently, people working on Production A also need a specific network drive for their unique source material, work-in-progress and finished work.
The Ethernet Audio network scheme supports both typical needs. Files may be accessed by name or by their file ID number. The key to the file ID system is an easily understood five-character basic identifier. The first character represents the logical disk drive.
There are two choices in the original factory setup:. After a ". A unique eleventh character, "S" is used to identify a Playlist Directory earlier called a Stack Directory. The next three digits identify individual cuts or Playlists: so there can be cuts in each of the 10 regular directories.
For example:. Every drive, directory, cut and Playlist can be given a character alphanumeric name, so you do not have to constantly crosscheck between a printed index and the screen display.
This will simplify network management, and sharing of Playlists and Hot Key assignments. This is enough to store about 20 hours of bit, 48K stereo audio. Each DigiCart drive has 10 fixed directories for audio recordings and one additional directory for Playlists. Each directory can hold up to files of any length. Depending upon your recording and organizational requirements, you may choose to partition this internal disk with 2 to 5 equally sized partitions.
There are seven 0 through 6 drive selection numbers available on a DigiCart. Drive 0 is always the Zip drive. Drive 1 is always the first hard disk partition. Drive 6 is always available for a network drive assignment. Drives 2 through 5 can be either internal disk partitions or mapped to network drives. As more. Once the internal disk is partitioned, drive numbers associated with those partitions cannot be re-mapped to network drives unless the internal disk is reformatted. For example, if the internal disk is partitioned into three drives Numbers 1, 2, and 3 , three drive numbers 4, 5, and 6 are available to map network drives.
If the internal disk is not partitioned is only Drive 1 , then drives 3, 4, 5, and 6 are available to map network drives; Drive 2 is not available in this case. See Allocation of Logical Drives on page 38 for detailed information on setting up drives.
A mount path is simply a shared directory on the server. Drive number-to-mount path associations can be changed at any time. A common scheme for network organization will be to create a central library drive on the network. Like all other DigiCart drives, the central library drive will have ten subdirectories and a Playlist Stack directory. Each sub-directory can be organized to hold homogenous material such as music or sound effects.
Since drive 6 is always available for network use, regardless of the number of hard disk partitions, it should be assigned to your central library. Drives 3, 4, and 5 can be assigned to more task-specific network drives, such as a particular entertainment project or news production. It is recommended that all files called from a Playlist reside on the same drive as the Playlist sources can be in any directory on the drive.
Because individual DigiCarts might have unique drive path assignments, Playlists may not play correctly or at all if calls are being made to drives that are not correctly mapped. This allows several people to use the same setup when working together on a production. Hot Key assignment lists can be used concurrently. Each drive contains one Hot Key assignment list.
Local Hot Keys can be assigned to cuts or Playlists on a local drive, only. Welcome to ManualMachine. We have sent a verification link to to complete your registration. Log In Sign Up.
