My Deva
The My Deva menu is where the record parameters for the primary drive and mirror drives are adjusted from.
Primary Drive - Internal SATA
The SATA drive is the primary record drive, its audio is recorded as a MARF II file.
MARF II (mobile audio recording format) is a lossless fault tolerant recording system.
MARF II is a very robust recording system where the recorded digital files do not need
to close or finalize. So if power is lost during recording, all audio right up to the point
when power is lost, will be preserved. MARF II’s robustness also lends itself to be
often immune from viruses and corruption that can affect standard recording formats.
MARF II files can be quickly and easily converted to BWF files and MP3 files by using
ZaxConvert. When using ZaxConvert all timecode and Meta Data is preserved.
ZaxConvert is available for free and can be downloaded from the Zaxcom website.
Formatting the SATA drive
From the My Deva page tap on the INTERNAL SATA key to open the internal disk
utilities menu. Then tap on the FORMAT DRIVE key.
A confirmation screen will appear before the drive can be formatted.
Warning when formatting the drive all previously recorded audio will be erased.
Selecting a record folder
All files are recorded into individual folders. To select a folder tap on the CURRENT
FOLDER key, this will open the folder list.
The folder list will display the folder name, how many segments are recorded in the
folder and, the total size of the files in each folder.
To choose a folder use the navigation keys on the right side of the screen, or scroll
using the menu knob to the desired folder and tap on the folder to select it.
After the folder is chosen a green check will indicate the folder that will be recorded
to.
Please note that mirror mode needs to be set to OFF before the primary folder can
be changed.
