File Management
The 722, like a computer, saves audio recordings to a file system containing files and folders. The 722
formats its internal hard drive, CompactFlash medium, and attached external drives as single drives
named “
722 INDD
”, “
722 CF
”, and “
722 EXTHDD,
” respectively. All files generated by the 722 can
be saved to the Root Folder, a Daily Folder, or a Scene Folder.
Folder Actions
All files generated by the 722 can be saved to the Root directory, a Project Folder, a Daily (Roll)
Folder, or a Scene Folder (Files are saved to the Root directory by default). File organiza-
tion is managed in the Setup Menu option
FILE: FOLDER OPTIONS
. Folder choices include
TOP-LEVEL, MID-LEVEL, and BOTTOM LEVEL FOLDERS
. Folders are created when the record
key is pressed. This reduces the likelihood of empty folders.
•
Top-Level folder
- is a root-level folder and can be set with a user-selected name. The Top-
Level folder can also be de-activated by selecting <
None
> from the Setup Menu. If the Top-
Level folder is not used then the next lower-level folder will reside at the drive’s root. If the
Top-Level
folder is active then the
Mid-Level
and
Bottom-Level
folders will be its sub-
folders.
•
Mid-Level /Daily folder
- can be selected as a <
Daily
> folder, a folder with a user-selected
name, or not used. If a
Top-Level
folder is in use, the
Mid-Level
folder will be a sub-folder
of the
Top-Level
folder. If no
Top-Level
folder is used the
Mid-Level
folder will reside
at the drive’s root. If set to <
Daily
> a new folder will be created daily. When recording past
midnight the 722 will prompt to make to a new daily folder.
•
Bottom-Level /Scene Folders
- can be selected as a <
Scene
> folder which will use the name
generated from
Rec: Scene Name/Number
Setup Menu, as a user-selected name, or not
used at all. If no upper-level folder is in use, the
Bottom-Level
folder will reside at drive’s
root. If the
Mid-Level
and/or
Top-Level
are in use the
Bottom-Level
folder will be a sub-
folder.
Example: If a daily Folder is desired, set the
Top-Level
to
<None>
, the
Mid-Level
folder to
<Daily>
, and the
Bottom-Level
to
<None>
. This will generate a Daily Folder in the root
directory with it’s files directly inside the folder.
