FAT-32 and Broadcast .WAV file (BWF) Support
The MX-2424 Version 1.10 supports disks formatted in the FAT-32 file format. In this format, a project
consists of an OpenTL EDL referencing 16 or 24 bit Broadcast WAV files. Broadcast WAV files (.BWF)
can be imported into any audio software that utilizes the WAV format. Like their SDII counterparts,
Broadcast WAV files contain a time stamp that can be utilized by any software that takes advantage of
this feature. Version 1.10, as with Version 1.0, supports SDII audio files on Macintosh HFS volumes as
well.
