Menu 710 and FAT-32 Initializing of Disks on the MX-2424
Menu 710 has been changed to allow for HFS and FAT-32 disk initializing.
To initialize a disk:
1. Press SHIFT then MOUNT (UNMOUNT) to unmount all drives
2. Access menu 710
3. Use TRIM to select the correct disk ID number then press YES (STORE).
4. Press TRIM and use the arrow keys to toggle between HFS and FAT-32 formats, then press
STORE.
5. The MX2424 will the ask “are you sure?” Press YES (STORE) to confirm and initialize the
disk in the selected format, or press NO (RCL) to go back to selecting between the two
formats.
Menu 702 displays HFS or FAT-32 disk status
Menu 702 will display either HFS or FAT-32 to reflect the status of the currently selected record
disk.
Menu 700 supports 16 bit and 24 bit WAV encoding
Menu 700 will display the appropriate disk encoding for the currently selected record disk. If an
HFS disk is selected, the user can toggle between SDII 16-bit and SDII 24-bit. If a FAT-32 disk
is selected, the user can toggle between WAV 16-bit and WAV 24-bit.
Ability to Smart Copy from FAT-32 to Mac HFS and vice versa
When a Smart Copy (or TapeMode Convert) from a FAT-32 disk to an HFS disk is performed, all
Broadcast WAV files automatically get converted into SDII files. Likewise, when a Smart Copy
(or TapeMode Convert) from an HFS disk to a FAT-32 disk is performed, all SDII files
automatically get converted to Broadcast WAV files. This feature allows MX-2424 projects to
move to both Macintosh and Windows audio software with ease during various stages of a
project. When restoring a backup (bu) project from DVD-RAM or Travan Tape, the destination
disk can be either HFS or FAT-32.
Projects Containing Mixed Disk Formats
A project cannot contain audio on both FAT-32 and HFS disks. Once a project has been recorded
on an HFS volume, you cannot adjust menu 701 to a FAT-32 volume and resume recording new
tracks. You can, however, switch record drives to a new volume type if the current project is still
blank (no tracks are recorded or defined in the current project). Tracks from a different disk
format can, however, be imported and loaded into a project since those tracks will reference the
riginal audio files.
