About exporting media

You can export iDDR clips using standard media file formats. The following table
describes the file formats supported.

Files can be exchanged over an Ethernet connection to network drives or using
common forms of removable media such as CD-R, DVD-R, external USB drives and
flash drives.

About sending files to external drives

The following are operational considerations when sending files to external drives:

Estimating clip file sizes - AppCenter does not prevent you from sending a file

that is larger than the space available on the target disk. The transfer fails when the
disk becomes full. To avoid this problem, check the clip size reported in the clip
properties dialog box. You can use this to estimate the disk space required for the
clip.

Best transfer performance - File transfers are handled concurrently, up to four at

a time. Additional transfer requests are queued. To enhance transfer performance,
you may try limiting transfers to one at a time.

Adding/Removing USB devices - The USB connectors on the rear panel and front

panel can be used to connect a mouse, keyboard, USB drive, or other USB device.
Do not plug or unplug these devices while the iDDR is being used for critical play
to air activity.
