Auto Functions with External Powering
The 744T can perform several functions when DC power is applied to and removed from the record-
er. Options available include:
•
Power on unit
– unit will turn on and be ready for operation.
•
Power on and begin recording
– unit will power on and begin recording with the settings
used when previously powered down.
•
Power on, power off unit
– external DC functions as the on/off switch.
•
Power on and begin recording, power off
– unit will power and begin recording, then turn off
when power is removed.
These functions are useful when the unit is part of a production kit powered by a single power
source. A single power switch can be used to power on the whole kit.
In addition to the internal record timer, the auto functions (power on/begin record/power off) can
be used for more extensive unattended recording control. Using an outboard timer attached to a
DC supply the 744T can be placed and activated to record events including EFX or nature, and for
surveillance applications.
Firmware Upgrades
The 744T uses upgradable EEPROM (electrically erasable programmable read-only memory) to hold
the unit’s operating system software, or fi rmware. Firmware is the source code which controls all
aspects of the device, including: menu options, signal routing, signal processing, LED’s, button and
switches, and data ports.
Version Information
During manufacturing the unit’s hardware revision number and serial number are burned into
a protected area of the EEPROM and are not changeable. These numbers can be viewed from the
INFO:VERSION
selection of the setup menu.
INFO:VERSION
also shows the fi rmware version of the
recorder.
The 744T fi rmware version and unit serial numbers are written to the data chunk of every WAV and
BWF audio fi le generated by the 744T.
Upgrading Firmware
From time to time Sound Devices may issue revisions (new versions) of fi rmware for the 744T. Firm-
ware is user-upgradeable. To upgrade fi rmware follow the steps below.
1.
Download the fi rmware fi le from the Sound Devices web site.
2.
Transfer the fi rmware fi le (it will be named
VERSION _ NUMBER.PRG
) to the 744T internal hard drive via
FireWire or onto a CF card. If there are multiple fi rmware fi les on the media, the 744T will indicate the
fi rmware fi le listed to apply. To prevent confusion, ensure that there is only one fi rmware fi le available
on either 744T media.
3.
Enter the fi rmware upgrade menu. You will be prompted to search for the fi rmware fi le. If a valid
fi rmware fi le is present on either the internal hard drive or CF the recorder will prompt if the path is
the proper fi le to use. Press the Rotary Switch or the tone key to say yes. The 744T will begin fi rmware
upgrade and validation. Progress is indicated with a bar graph.
