D424 MO Recorder
E4/24 Operation
SW V 1.6 Date printed: 06.03.02
4.7 CD Transfer and Disk Copies
The D424 MO recorder is equipped with a SCSI port. Additional external
MO drives and/or CD writers may be connected to perform fast data trans-
fers.
4.7.1 Configuration
For making copies between the D424 and external drives, a SCSI connec-
tion between the two devices has to be established.
Please follow the instructions below for correct operation:
• Switch off the two units and connect the SCSI cable.
• Make sure that the two units do not have the same SCSI address. The de-
fault address of a D424 is “ 1” , the one of the Studer D741 is “ 2". See the
corresponding manual section of the device for changing SCSI addresses.
• Switch on the peripheral device first. If it is not a single peripheral drive
(disk drive only), switch it to SCSI slave mode (Studer D741: SCSI ON,
D424: SCSI offline mode).
• Switch on the D424.
4.7.2 Transfer to a CD Writer
The CD transfer option is the solution for small CD mastering applica-
tions. It allows to copy sessions having been edited in a D424 sequence to
a CD writer.
The copy utility not only transfers audio data, but also additional PQ in-
formation. The transfer is performed with double speed.
What will be Transferred? The audio data are transferred in one of the following modes:
TOC A complete sequence is transferred to a new, empty disc, including all
defined PQ information (disc-at-once mode). The CD is finalized and
ready for use on any CD player.
MULTI Same as TOC, but the CD is multi-session expandable (for use on PC sys-
tems).
ADD The current sequence is added to the CD-R contents. The table of contents
of the disc will not be finalized, it will be therefore ready for further sub-
sequent transfers.
FIX No data are transferred. A CD-R that has been recorded in “ add” mode
will be finalized.
The D424 supports editing of the PQ data listed below, that are copied to
the CD in addition to the audio data of the currently selected sequence.
They can be set in the TRANSFER PARAMETER menu 64.
Take and Index Markers The take and index markers that were set in the D424's current sequence
will appear in the CD-R at the same position.
The take markers of the D424 correspond to CD tracks.
ISRC and UPC/EAN Codes There is a separate menu item in the COPY menu for defining the CD's
catalog number – the UPC/EAN code – and the ISRC code of each track.
Control Data The emphasis flag of the current sequence is copied to the CD writer as
well, all other control data are set to 0.
