Location Recorder Model PD606
Chapter 7: Creating and editing ALE files (EDIT EDL FILE menu)
On a DVD-RAM disk (or hard disk partition), the PD606 creates the "info" folder under the
"bwff" folder. The "Info" folder stores ALE (Avid Log Exchange) files and various information
files such as a diagnoses file.
About an ALE file
An ALE file is an EDL (Edit Decision List) file for exporting audio data created by the PD606
to an AVID system. Because it is a text file, a personal computer easily reads it.
Note that the start and end time values of the file are referenced to the BWF time reference
and data length. The ALE file is also used for the PD606 list play function.

You can create a new ALE file on a recorded DVD-RAM disk or hard disk partition.
In the procedure described below, we assume that more than one audio file (BWF) is created on
the DVD-RAM disk (or hard disk partition) set to the PD606.
1) While the unit is stopped, press the [SHIFT] key to light the [SHIFT] indicator, followed by the
[ENTER/YES] key.
<Note>:
If no ALE file exists on the disk (or partition), only "<New file>" is shown as
the screen example above. If any ALE file exists on a disk, its current file name is
shown.
Creating a new ALE file
2) Use the [MENU] dial to select the “EDIT EDL FILE” menu and press the ENTER/YES] key.
The unit enters the "EDIT EDL FILE" menu and the display now shows the ALE screen for
selecting an ALE file.
