FlashMic File Names
Frequently, the number of sound files to be downloaded from a FlashMic may be quite large.
Furthermore, the FlashMic may have been used in several different locations, and/or by
different journalists/recordists. Thus it is important to identify sound files at the time of
recording so that their identity and origin can be correctly attributed.
A written (or electronic) recording log is recommended elsewhere in this manual, and it is
good professional practice to maintain such a log. FlashMic Manager additionally provides
the user with the scope for considerable extra assistance in file identification in the form of
definable file header information.
Filename Structure
The sound files recorded in FlashMic are .wav files, with filenames made up of three
concatenated components separated by underscore characters as follows:
MIC NAME_BWF FILE NAME_TRACK NUMBER.wav
The three components of the filename are specified in FlashMic Manager as part of a
preset definition. After the configuration file containing the preset parameters is uploaded
to the FlashMic, some of the textual data that was entered in FlashMic Manager is used to
form part of the filename.
The three components of the filename are derived as follows:
MIC NAME – this is the name set in FlashMic Manager at Settings > Set DRM
Name
. This name applies to all presets defined for a particular configuration file.
In an organisation using mulitple FlashMics, it allows each to be given an individual
name, which might be MIC_nn, for example, or possibly a recordist’s name (if
recordists always use the same FlashMic). The maximum length of the Mic Name
is 6 characters (upper case alphanumeric only).
BWF FILE NAME – this is the name entered in the File Name field (in the BWF/
MPEG File Info area) of FlashMic Manager. This field can be set differently for each
preset in a configuration file. This field can be utilised in a variety of ways depending
how the FlashMic is to be used; one possibility might be to create presets which
differ only in the file name, relating textually to different interviews that the
FlashMic is to be used for on a particular day. The maximum length of the File
Name is 3 characters (alphanumeric only and spaces not allowed – use
underscore).
TRACK NUMBER – this part of the filename is generated within the FlashMic
itself, and is simply the number of the recording, which automatically
increments by one every time a new recording is made. It is displayed as
TRKnnn
in the FlashMic LCD. The format of the track number is also TRKnnn, where
nnn is the track number. Note that the track number does not reset to
zero when a different preset is selected in the FlashMic, when a new configuration
file is uploaded, nor when the sound files are downloaded. Reformatting the
memory (see section Reformatting the Memory for more information) does
reset the track number counter.
Some examples of sound file filenames are shown below.
