Removing Media.
It is recommended that media is un-mounted prior to physical removal from the camera. This
ensures that power is removed from the digital media and any open data files are closed.
Physical removal of the CF card or disconnecting the RED-DRIVE without first un-mounting it
will not damage the media, but can increases the risk of file corruption, especially if data is
being recorded. In addition, auxiliary metadata files cannot be written to the digital media.
To UNMOUNT the digital media follow this sequence.
- Press and hold the UNDO key and then press the EXIT key.
When the status indicator displays “Safe to Remove” and “ X ” as media status, it is safe to
remove the CF card and/or disconnect the RED-DRIVE magazine.
The modest extra step of un-mounting the digital media helps recorded clips mount instantly
in postproduction. Failing to unmount before removing the digital media will not damage the
recorded clips themselves, but it can increase the risk of corrupting the clip index file.
Copying Media.
When copying media it is recommended that the entire contents of the digital magazine are
copied to the storage media. This ensures that all appropriate media and data are copied.
Note: You don’t need to copy the PIN.log, digital.magazine.profile and digi-
tal.magdynamic.profile. files, but will also do no harm if you do.
