File Naming
A specific file naming convention is used so that the Binloop can
identify the file type, as well as associate the file with a number.
Here is a table that shows the naming conventions based on the
type of file that is being named:
File Type File Naming Style
MPEG2 Program Stream (Video+Audio) VIDnnnnn.MPG
Windows PCM (Audio) SNDnnnnn.WAV
Apple AIFF (Audio) SNDnnnnn.AIF
Raw PCM 16-bit Mono (Audio) SNDnnnnn.AMS
Raw PCM 16-bit Stereo (Audio) SNDnnnnn.SFD
*Raw PCM 24-bit Mono (Audio) SNDnnnnn.A24
*Raw PCM 24-bit Stereo (Audio) SNDnnnnn.S24
*Only supported by the Repro24D (Digital Binloop)
As you can see from this table, the files are identified based on
the file extension. For example, the Binloop will identify a file
with an extension of MPG as an MPEG2 Program Stream
containing video and audio. A file with the extension of SFD
would be treated as a 16-bit Mono Raw PCM audio file.
The file number is determined by the 5-digit ‘nnnnn’ portion of
the file name. The Binloop supports files that are assigned
numbers between 0 and 1023, so this part of the filename is
always represented as 00000 through 01023.
Just as an example, let’s say you wanted to create a Program
Stream (Video file) that you wanted to associate as file #123. To
do this, you would need to rename the video file to
VID00123.MPG.
Note: Every file on the media must have a unique number in the file
name, no duplications are allowed. If you have duplicate file
numbers (i.e. two files associated as file #1), the Binloop would
consistently choose only one of those files when told to play the
associated number.
