approved
Approved mechanical drives are recommended for use only in stationary applications. Excessive vibration
or motion may cause data corruption when using mechanical drives.
PIX-CADDY
The PIX-CADDY allows for simple, quick, and solid connection and removal of drives for ile storage
and exchange. When connected to a PIX recorder, whether powered on or of, the caddy’s USB 3.0,
FireWire 800 connections are disabled. When the PIX-CADDY is removed from a PIX recorder, it
operates as a high-speed data interface for transferring iles from the drive to a computer. Only one
data connection can be used at a time. See PIX-CADDY documentation for details on ataching a 2.5”
drive to the PIX-CADDY.
eSATA
An external storage device can be used instead of the PIX-CADDY. When the PIX-CADDY is re-
moved, the eSATAp is exposed. An external storage device with an eSATAp connector can be
atached to the PIX recorder’s eSATAp Connector with a standard eSATAp cable. The drive in the
enclosure must be an approved drive.
This port can be used to power an external drive via 5V eSATAp, or it can be used with powered
external enclosures using an eSATA (non-powered) cable.
File Storage
PIX recorders format and write to a UDF (v2.50) ilesystem. The UDF ilesystem is readable and writ
-
able by Mac OS X, Windows 7, and Windows Vista. Files stored in a UDF ilesystem are not restrict
-
ed to 4GB, unlike FAT32 (a commonly utilized ilesystem in other digital recorders). 2.5” drive and
CF storage devices to be used with the PIX recorder must be formated from the PIX recorder.
Mounting PIX formated UDF volumes to virtual machines is not supported.
