external drives, they may or may not record in real time. The Internal

Hard drive always records in real time. The attached DVD’s may or may

not. If not, they will continue mirroring after the take has ended. If they

fall behind the actual recording they will continue to mirror from the hard

drive whenever DEVA is not in RECORD mode.

14.4. INTERNAL DVD DRIVE. This button gives access to the features of the

internal (optional) DVD drive. The first choice is not on the menu. That is

the choice of media. This drive accepts DVD-R, DVD-RW, CD-R and CD-

RW. DVD-R disks do not have to be pre-formatted but you can only write to

them once. This means you cannot go back and change Meta-Data for a

segment that has already been recorded to the DVD-R. DVD-RW disks can

be written and re-written, but they also must be pre-formatted, which takes

up to 20 minutes per disk.

14.4.1. FILE TYPE allows selection of file type to be written to the internal

DVD. These include:

14.4.1.1. WAV MONO files (BWF-M). This creates a separate WAV

file for each track recorded.

14.4.1.2. WAV POLY (BWF-P) files. This creates a single file

combining all the tracks recorded

14.4.1.3. SD2 files. This creates a Pro-Tools compatible Sound

Designer 2 File.

14.4.1.4. ZAX files. This is a proprietary Zaxcom file format. Each

disk created with ZAX files includes a utility program that ‘un-Zax’s’

the disk and allows the end user to extract the audio in any of the

above file formats and sample rates desired.

14.4.2. FILE RESOLUTION. This button lets you select 16 or 24 bit

resolution for the selected DVD.
