Drive File Selects an RPC II, RPC III, or RPC Pro drive file (drv or seq) to play out to the
station.
When you have selected a file, the application:
• Verifies that it is a file that it can read (RPC format).
• Reads in the file header.
• Ensures that the number of channels in the file is not greater than the
number of channels in the station.
• Ensures that the sampling rate is supported.
Note Playout of RPC drive files at 128 Hz requires a system rate of 1024
Hz.
Note For controllers equipped with MTS Series 494 hardware, playout of
RPC drive files at 409.6 Hz requires a system rate of 2048 Hz or 4096
Hz. Controllers equipped with MTS Series 494 hardware do not
support playout of RPC drive files as 409.6 Hz with a system rate of
1024 Hz.
If any of these steps fail, a message will display the problem. If no problem
exists, the application will attempt to map the file’s channels to the station’s
channels. Next, the application will check for channel conflicts.
