CHAPTER FIVE
File Transfer Network
The D-NET capabilities of your DigiCart/II Plus allow you to use its digital audio
interfaces for making high-speed audio transfers between machines. With D-NET, you’ll
move audio around your facility with speed, ease, and security.
Features
You can transfer individual audio cuts, directories, or entire drives and their
associated file information from one DigiCart/II Plus to one or more DigiCart/II
Pluses.
Transfer rates are faster than playback rates.
D-NET supports both the AES/EBU and AES/SMPTE-75 digital interfaces.
The “Echo” Feature lets you relay a transfer from one DigiCart/II Plus to the next
DigiCart/II Plus in a “Daisy Chain” network.
Individual machines can be configured to allow or disallow automatic reception
of transfers.
Transfers are one-way and are initiated from the sending machine.
Files can be transferred to a specific cut index or to the 'Mail Box’ at the
destination. The 'Mail Box' is always in the same place and protects you from
accidentally overwriting existing files.
Destination machines automatically discard files received with errors.
