Although Profile system’s disk capacity can be expanded with the expansion
chassis and RAID systems, it is still finite. Because of this, the LVS software
provides methods for cleaning up unwanted material, allowing you to record for
much longer than the available disk capacity.
The LVS provides two fundamental approaches to clean up material: Disk
Cleanup (auto and manual) and Loop Record.
Disk Cleanup
When disk cleanup is executed, all material on the disk is deleted, except the
following:
H Material marked as scenes (with pads)
H Material marked as highlights (with pads)
H Material in the library (with pads)
H Material within the protected area
Note that events in the Playlist Window are not protected from a disk cleanup.
Make sure that the scene or highlight associated with an event in the Playlist
Window is not discarded.
You can also set a protect area to prevent the cleanup operation from erasing
your most recently recorded material, regardless of whether or not it has been
marked as a scene or highlight. See Protect Area on page 3–16.
Disk cleanups can be set up to occur automatically or manually. When set in
automatic disk cleanup mode, disk cleanup is executed whenever the remaining
disk capacity falls below a threshold, called Start Capacity (the remaining
capacity at which a disk cleanup is started). Start Capacity is explained on
page 3–16.
See Disk Menu on page 4–7 to perform manual disk cleanup.
Loop Record
In Loop Record mode, the system loops back and records over the oldest
material in the loop. Therefore Loop Record allows you to save as much
unmarked material as possible before discarding (recording over) it.
Scenes and highlights (as well as library files) are protected from being recorded
over, even in loop mode. This means that the more scenes and highlights you
create, the less time (disk space) is available for looping (recording over). The
loop remaining time displayed in the Main Window shows this by decreasing as
new scenes are created.
