Disk management
The
PSC’s disk drive lets you save up to two shows per standard 3.5-inch
computer disk. We recommend that you make two back-up copies of each show
on separate disks and that you keep them in different locations
. If your disk were
damaged, a back-up disk stored at home could save you hours of work.
When you select disk options, any fades in progress are stopped
. Disk options
do not affect channel levels that are not currently fading.
Before you can use a disk in the
PSC, you must format it. Formatting instructions
are included below.
Storing disks
Computer disks are somewhat fragile, magnetic devices for storing your work
.
Therefore, we suggest the following disk storage and handling practices to
ensure that your work is not lost as a result of disk damage.
•
Store disks at a temperature between 50 and 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
•
Keep disks away from magnets, magnetized objects or heavy electrical
equipment
. Some large lighting equipment may damage disks.
•
Do not touch the magnetic disk inside the plastic disk case.
•
Do not eat, drink or smoke when you handle disks.
