D-Net File Transfer
•
73
You may also enter a specific destination location when making a D-NET transfer. This method
enables you to transfer files to the location that is most useful. Many DigiCart users have well
structured name and location conventions that make this type of transfer very convenient
because you can transfer a cut directly to its final destination and be able to find it easily. Index
numbers assigned to Playlists or Hot Keys maintain those associations. This allows Playlists to
be updated, or parts of a Hot Key-driven set of effects to be changed.
The destination location defaults to the Index number that the file originated from on the source
machine.
The 360 Systems Instant Replay
®
can receive cuts in certain formats from your DigiCart/EX. All
models of Instant Replay can receive AC-2 and 48K linear files. Models DR-552 and DR-554
can also receive 44.1K linear files. As the Instant Replay has only a single directory, specific
designation transfers must be made to Disk 1, Directory 0. Mail Box transfers will be placed in
the next available Index number, after the last-occupied Index.
To set the type of transfers your DigiCart/EX will accept, select DNET FILE TRANSFER from the
Utility menu. Rotate the
selection knob
to choose the
TRANSFERS TO ACCEPT option. Choose
either “ALL” or “MAIL BOX ONLY”.
If desired, use the
Left
and
Right POSITION
buttons to select alternate menu items. Confirm your
option choice by pressing the
ENTER
button.
Receiver Names and Destination Names
Each DigiCart/EX may be assigned a receiver name to identify it as the “target” for a file transfer
from another DigiCart. This is especially useful when multiple DigiCarts are daisy-chained for
D-Net transfers. When initiating a file transfer, enter the name of the intended receiver DigiCart
on the source DigiCart.
If a DigiCart/EX is not assigned a receiver name, it will receive all transfers (sent with or without
a receiver name), provided the destination drive and directory are valid. For most systems, if
you plan to use receiver names, each unit should have a unique receiver name. Duplicate
receiver names can be assigned to units that are intended to be mirrored redundant backups.
Assigning a Receiver Name
To assign a receiver name select DNET FILE TRANSFER from the Utility menu. Rotate the
selection knob
until the RECEIVER NAME option appears. Press the
ENTER
button. The
display will prompt for a new Receiver Name.
Using the
selection knob
and the navigation arrow buttons, enter the new Receiver Name.
The name can have from 1 to 15 characters consisting of any combination of letters, digits,
dashes and spaces. Leading and trailing spaces are not significant and are removed when
the name is saved. When you have spelled out the new Receiver Name, press the
Right
NAVIGATION ARROW
button until the cursor is to the right of the last character in the new
destination name. Press the
ENTER
button to save the new name. The display will show
the new Receiver Name.
To erase a Receiver Name and allow a DigiCart/EX to receive all transfers, regardless of
destination name select DNET FILE TRANSFER from the Utility menu. Rotate the selection
knob
until the RECEIVER NAME option appears. Press the
ENTER
button twice. The
display will show the Receiver Name set to (NONE – RECEIVE ALL).
