The primary media uses the Zaxcom MARF file system. The advantage: any power loss while recording will not
result in the loss of any recorded audio, as is common with all other portable recording systems.
At power-up, Nomad automatically closes any open files (at the point the audio recording was interrupted) with no
loss of audio up to that point. Even though it uses a proprietary file system, it is 100% compatible with Mac or PC by
using the free file conversion utility ZaxConvert. This utility may be downloaded from
All recorded files are directed to individual folders. The
Primary Folder page
allows the Operator to choose the
current recording folder and which folder can be erased.
The primary and mirror folders can be different or the same. If they are the same, the mirror audio will be the same
as the audio currently being recorded on the primary media.
IMPORTANT:
the primary and mirror cards must be formatted by Nomad before use.
IMPORTANT:
currently, 32gig cards are the largest recommended for use. Check with Zaxcom for a current
update on this restriction.
