File Management
The 722, like a computer, saves audio recordings to a file system containing files and folders. The 722
formats its internal hard drive, CompactFlash medium, and attached external drives as single drives
named “ 722 INDD”, “722 CF”, and “722 EXTHDD,” respectively. All files generated by the 722 can
be saved to the Root Folder, a Daily Folder, or a Scene Folder.
Folder Actions
All files generated by the 722 can be saved to the Root directory, a Project Folder, a Daily (Roll)
Folder, or a Scene Folder (Files are saved to the Root directory by default). File organiza-
tion is managed in the Setup Menu option FILE: FOLDER OPTIONS. Folder choices include
TOP-LEVEL, MID-LEVEL, and BOTTOM LEVEL FOLDERS. Folders are created when the record
key is pressed. This reduces the likelihood of empty folders.
• Top-Level folder - is a root-level folder and can be set with a user-selected name. The Top-
Level folder can also be de-activated by selecting < None> from the Setup Menu. If the Top-
Level folder is not used then the next lower-level folder will reside at the drive’s root. If the
Top-Level folder is active then the Mid-Level and Bottom-Level folders will be its sub-
folders.
• Mid-Level /Daily folder - can be selected as a < Daily> folder, a folder with a user-selected
name, or not used. If a Top-Level folder is in use, the Mid-Level folder will be a sub-folder
of the Top-Level folder. If no Top-Level folder is used the Mid-Level folder will reside
at the drive’s root. If set to < Daily> a new folder will be created daily. When recording past
midnight the 722 will prompt to make to a new daily folder.
• Bottom-Level /Scene Folders - can be selected as a < Scene> folder which will use the name
generated from Rec: Scene Name/Number Setup Menu, as a user-selected name, or not
used at all. If no upper-level folder is in use, the Bottom-Level folder will reside at drive’s
root. If the Mid-Level and/or Top-Level are in use the Bottom-Level folder will be a sub-
folder.
Example: If a daily Folder is desired, set the Top-Level to , the Mid-Level folder to
, and the Bottom-Level to . This will generate a Daily Folder in the root
directory with it’s files directly inside the folder.
