Formatting the Compact Flash
All Compact Flash Sockets
have ejector buttons that make
it easier to insert and remove
the flash media.
When you insert a flash card,
do so with the manufacturer’s
label to the right. The card
should insert easily and require
very little force to fully seat.
Once you have the necessary materials, you are ready to get
started. First, it is recommended that you format the Compact Flash
card in the Binloop. This can be accomplished by following these
instructions:
With the Compact Flash card removed, power up the Binloop using
the power switch on the back of the unit.
Press and hold the Test Button of channel #1. You may see the
Reproducer indicate a fault (flashing red LED), but this is normal.
While holding the Test Button, insert the Compact Flash card into the
Compact Flash socket of channel #1. Wait a second or two for the
status LED to turn orange to indicate that the card is being
formatted.
When the status LED turns off, the formatting is complete. You may
now remove the card.
Loading the Test File
Now that the Compact Flash has been properly formatted, we’re
ready to load the Binloop Test file onto the card. Here’s what you do:
1. Insert the Compact Flash card into the Compact Flash card
reader.
2. Connect the card reader to you PC. If the card reader is working
properly, the Compact Flash card will show up as an additional
drive (i.e. Drive F:) in your computer.
3. Copy and Paste the Binloop Video or Audio Test File to the flash
card.
4. If you are loading the test video clip, verify that the name of the
test clip is VID00001.MPG. If you are loading the test audio clip,
verify that the name of the test clip is SND00001.WAV.
