MAIN MENU My Nomad / Mirror Card

File Type Select

This sets the file format type Nomad will mirror the audio as.

• BWAV MONO

• BWAV POLY

• MP3 - only available with a Nomad 12

A BWAV MONO file is 1 file per track. So if you record 1 track only, 1 file will represent that "take" from the

time you press record to the time you press stop. If you were to record 2 tracks for that same take, Nomad

will produce 2 files, one representing track 1 and the other representing track 2.

A BWAV POLY file creates one file for that take; even if the take was recorded has multiple tracks. So with a

POLY file if a take is only 1 track the file would be 1 track. If the take was 2 tracks, it would still be one file

with both tracks. This is often referred to as being "2 tracks wide". Similarly, if 6 tracks were recorded it

would still be only one file, 6 tracks wide.

File Resolution Select

This sets the bit depth that Nomad will mirror files at. You can choose 16 bit or 24 bit.

File Naming Protocol

This sets the way your individual files are named.

• Z001001 - Creates a file name in the format of - Folder Name and Segment Number.

This is the default file naming protocol where the file name consists of the Folder Name (Z001 or

whatever name you create) followed by the Segment Number (for example 045) so for example a file

name would be Z001045.WAV (folder name / file number) that would be followed by Z001046WAV.

• 1 T2 Z001 - Creates a file name in the format of - Scene, Take, Folder Name and Segment Number.

For example if you record scene “1”, Take “2” in folder “Z001” and the segment number is “45”, the

file name will be “1_T2_Z001045.WAV”. Warning when using this naming option do not create a scene

or take with any characters other than letters or numbers.

• 1 T2 - Creates a file name in the format of – Scene and Take separated by and underscore.

For example if you record scene “1”, Take “2” in folder “Z001” and the segment number is “45”, the

file name will be “1_T2.WAV”. Warning when using this naming option avoid creating duplicate file

names within a folder, if duplicate file names are created the files will not mirror properly.

• 1T2- Creates a file name in the format of - Scene and Take with no separation.

For example if you record Scene is “1”, Take “2” in folder “Z001” and the segment number is “45”, the

file name will be “1T2.WAV”. Warning when using this naming option avoid creating duplicate file

names within a folder, if duplicate file names are created the files will not mirror properly.

Please note that all segment numbers will be a three digit number. The first file in a folder will always be 001.

Mirror Options

This setting allows Nomad to stay in the last mirror mode setting before being been powered off. If this

option is set to OFF, any time Nomad is powered down it changes the mirror mode to OFF and when

powering back up you will need to turn mirroring back on regardless what your mirror setting was set to.

Even if Nomad is setup to allow mirroring mode to be remembered after a power cycle - if a CF card is not

installed in the mirror slot after the unit boots-up - mirror mode will be turned off and must be manually

turned on by the user when a mirror card is inserted.
