Creating Disk Subdirectories
STEP 1: Insert a formatted floppy into the internal disk drive or the
external drive, if connected.
STEP 2: Press the Directory softkey to bring up the Directory
submenu. Press the Make Directory softkey on the left side
of the display.
STEP 3: You can use a standard PC AT keyboard to assign an
8-character name (DOS compatible) to the directory. If a PC
AT keyboard is not available, you can name the file with the
Cursor and Character pushknobs. Use the Cursor pushknob
to move the cursor in the naming box. Turn the Character
pushknob to select a character. Push it to enter the current
character in the current cursor position. To clear the naming
box, press the CLEAR button in the numeric keypad, then the
Character pushknob.
STEP 4: Press the Confirm softkey to create the new directory. Note
that you have not changed to the new directory, only created
it.
STEP 5: To change to the new directory, press the Change Directory
softkey and use the Directory List pushknob to highlight the
directory name. Press the Confirm softkey to change to the
selected directory.
To remove a directory, follow the above steps, but press the Remove
Directory softkey instead of the Make Directory softkey.
Saving Files to Disk
You can save many different types of files to the floppy and hard disk
drives. Files that you can save are ENG (engineering), PER (personality),
EFF (effect), WIP (user wipe), CCR (user color corrector), KEY (user
keyer), MAT (user SuperMatte), TIM (timeline), and three image file
types: TIF (Tag Image File), YUV (8-bit video), and Y10 (10-bit video).
See the following table for typical file sizes. Note that these sizes may
change in future software versions.
