IMPORTANT
The formatting of the SD card sets up contiguous
sectors for maximum efficiency in the recording
process. The file format utilizes the BEXT (Broadcast
Extension) wave format which has sufficient data
space in the header for the file information and the
time code imprint.
The SD card, as formatted by the SMWB/SMDWB
recorder, can be corrupted by any attempt to directly
edit, change, format or view the files on a computer.
The simplest way to prevent data corruption is to copy
the .wav files from the card to a computer or other
Windows or OS formatted media FIRST. Repeat –
COPY THE FILES FIRST!
Do not rename files directly on the SD card.
Do not attempt to edit the files directly on the SD
card.
Do not save ANYTHING to the SD card with a
computer (such as the take log, note files etc) - it is
formatted for SMWB/SMDWB recorder use only.
Do not open the files on the SD card with any third
party program such as Wave Agent or Audacity and
permit a save. In Wave Agent, do not IMPORT - you
can OPEN and play it but do not save or Import -
Wave Agent will corrupt the file.
In short - there should be NO manipulation of the
data on the card or addition of data to the card with
anything other than an SMWB/SMDWB record-
er. Copy the files to a computer, thumb drive, hard
drive, etc. that has been formatted as a regular OS
device FIRST - then you can edit freely.
iXML HEADER SUPPORT
Recordings contain industry standard iXML chunks in
the file headers, with the most commonly used fields
filled in.
Compatibility with
microSDHC memory cards
Please note that the SMWB and SMDWB are de-
signed for use with microSDHC memory cards.
There are several types of SD card standards (as of
this writing) based on capacity (storage in GB).
SDSC: standard capacity, up to and including 2 GB –
DO NOT USE!
SDHC: high capacity, more than 2 GB and up to and
including 32 GB – USE THIS TYPE.
SDXC: extended capacity, more than 32 GB and up to
and including 2 TB – DO NOT USE!
SDUC: extended capacity, more than 2TB and up to
and including 128 TB – DO NOT USE!
The larger XC and UC cards use a different format-
ting method and bus structure and are NOT compat-
ible with the recorder. These are typically used with
later generation video systems and cameras for
image applications (video and high resolution, high
speed photography).
ONLY microSDHC memory cards should be used.
They are available in capacities from 4GB to 32GB.
Look for the Speed Class 10 cards (as indicated by
a C wrapped around the number 10), or the UHS
Speed Class I cards (as indicated by the numeral 1
inside a U symbol). Also note the microSDHC Logo.
If you are switching to a new brand or source of card,
we always suggest testing first before using the card
on a critical application.
The following markings will appear on compatible
memory cards. One or all of the markings will appear
on the card housing and the packaging.
