new daily folder. With an example date of August 20th, 2012, the naming format of the daily folder
would be: 12Y08M20. The name of the Mid-Level folder will also be stored in the TAPE field of the
iXML and bEXT chunks of all subsequently recorded WAV files.
Bottom-Level folder.
The Bottom-Level folder can be named manually, by scene name, or set to
<None>
. When set to
<Scene>
, a new folder will be created each time the scene name is changed.
Automatic File splitting
During recording, the 633 will split a take that exceeds 4 GB into multiple files. The split is sample-
accurate, so files joined together in post-production will be seamless. The maximum file size that the
633 creates can be adjusted from the Setup Menu option
FILE STORAGE > File Max Size
. The follow-
ing file size options are available:
•
4GB
•
2GB
•
1GB
• 640MB
• 512MB
When recording MP3 files, splits will not be seamless.
Metadata Fields
633 Broadcast Wave Files include iXML (revision 1.5) data and bEXT chunk data. For bEXT and iX-
ML-aware software applications this data is available. For applications that don’t recognize bEXT or
iXML, this information is ignored. The following chart details the supported metadata parameters.
• iXML: Metadata stored in the Broadcast Wave iXML chunk
• bEXT: Metadata stored in the Broadcast Wave bEXT chunk
• FMT: Metadata stored in the Broadcast Wave Format chunk
