Erasing adaptor cards ready for next use
Either use the Shotput Pro to clear the cards by setting the flag in the Settings screen, or you can do it
manually. We recommend that clearing be done manually until you are confident in how the software
works, this will avoid any accidental erasure.
Keeping adaptor cards like “tape” based archiving.
Store the MxR, e-LCR or clone adaptor cards as your archive footage and use new card adaptors for your
next production. The affordability of the MxR and e-LCR adaptors allows you to keep the original footage
at near the same cost as using tapes.
Manual and Automatic Transfer Methods
There are two ways to offload video on the adaptor cards using
Shotput Pro
, either Manual Offload or the
preferred Automatic Offload.
1. Manual Offload – Recommended Settings
The type of download selected is Sony EX.
Select Consecutive numbering so that each new card that is inserted creates a new directory, which is
made up of [Drive Consecutive Suffix]
For eg.
E:\My Favourite Client 01 23_10_2010
E:\My Favourite Client 02 23_10_2010
E:\My Favourite Client 03 23_10_2010
Where the Prefix could be the Client name, the consecutive numbering sequence, the number of the card
used that day, and the Suffix could be the date.
