Media Menu
The Media menu is where the record parameters for the primary and mirroring card
are set.
To enter the Media menu - SHIFT (press and hold the MENU key) and then press the
F5 key.
Or hold the F5 key for the duration that the button hold time (in the ENG advanced
menu) is set to.
Please note that Nova will automatically create a new file when the file size reaches
2GB. This will be a seamless transition with no loss of audio. A letter will be added to the take number each time
Nova creates a new file. So for example if the first take is over 2GB the take numbers would be Take1 and Take 1a.
Mirror Mode Options
•
OFF -
Nova will not mirror any files.
•
ON -
Nova will only start to mirror a file when recording stops. Please note if a file is being mirrored and Nova
goes into record the mirroring will pause and pickup once stop is pressed again.
•
CONTINUOUS -
When Nova is recording, the audio is copied to the mirror card immediately after it is written
to the primary card. Depending on the track count and amount of processing taking place the mirror card
may lag behind a bit. If mirroring is lagging too far behind many times there are un-needed resources that are
on taking the processing power. These items will divert processing power from the mirroring and can often
be shut off to conserve the processing power and speed up mirroring. Check to see that some of these items
are not unnecessarily on: bus assignments cross points, compressor enables (input, output and card), high
pass filters, notch filters, and delays.
Write Sound Report
When write sound report is selected Nova will create a sound report of the recorded files from the current
folder, and write the report to the mirror compact flash card. The sound report will contain the metadata for
those files.
