Mono Track Name Designators
When recording monophonic Broadcast WAV files each track is recorded in a separate data file. To
identify each track, each file is identified by an underscore and track number suffix. The file of the
first track recorded has “_1” appended to it. The file name suffix, _1, _2, _3, and _4 always corre-
sponds to tracks A, B, C, and D. For instance, if track D is the only track recorded, it’s file name suffix
will be _4.
Track Naming
Each track in a file, whether monophonic or polyphonic files can be named with a unique track
name. These names appear in the Broadcast Wave Extension (BEXT) data as well as in the iXML data.
Track names are entered from the Setup Menu.
Duplicate File Names
When the 744T detects that a duplicate file name is going to be generated in any specific folder, the
744T changes the file name by adding of a letter suffix before the extension. For instance, if take
numbers are reset but files are recorded to the same directory as previous files, a suffix “A” is added
to the file. If additional duplicate files are generated the letter suffix increments, to B, C, etc.
