HDD Mode Menu
The HDD Mode Menu will set the HDR unit up as an external IEEE-1394 (FireWire 400) drive, for direct drag
and drop file transfer to a PC or MAC. The files appear in the root directory of the HDR unit hard disk, and
are numbered with the track number that appears in the LCD display when you are recording or playing back
the track.
NOTE: Please ensure the computer and the HDR unit are both powered off before connecting a FireWire
cable between these items. IEEE-1394 6pin Power: ensure the cable connector is inserted into the port the
correct way around otherwise short circuit damage may result to either the computer or the HDR unit’s port.
Other IEEE-1394 devices: connecting 2 or more IEEE-1394 devices to the same computer at the same time
may cause problems with the FireWire communication. To avoid this problem please remove any other
IEEE-1394 connections from the HDR unit and the computer.
File Structure: The HDR unit uses a FAT32 file structure, so large tracks are broken down into 2 GB files, or
roughly 9 minute segments, which are sequentially named:
For example if Track 02 is 1 hour in duration it will appear as follows:
hdv02.m2t (2 GB) - hdv02 is the file name for Track 02
hdv02_01.m2t (2 GB) - Each 2 GB section is given a sequential _xx numeric extension
hdv02_02.m2t (2 GB)
hdv02_03.m2t (2 GB)
hdv02_04.m2t (2 GB)
hdv02_05.m2t (2 GB)
hdv02_06.m2t (77 MB) - The last file in the sequence is likely to be smaller than 2GB.
The Open GOP structure of the 1080 stream requires information contained within all these files to have a
truly contiguous video/audio file. Some Non Linear Edit systems do not combine these m2t files when
importing clips, so this may need to be done prior to import. Datavideo can provide a utility
(M2T_FileCombine.exe) to help you combine these multiple m2t files.
How to use M2T_FileCombine.exe to combine the .m2t files
Step1 - Please connect the HDR unit to PC via IEEE1394 or its removable HDD via USB cable.
Step2 - Open M2T_FileCombine.exe
Step3 - Select source hard disk/drive (HDR-40 or HDR-50)
Step4 - Select files hdv02.m2t, hdv02_01.m2t …and so on
Step5 - Click START to choose a new file name and then press SAVE combine the files.
NB: Although your PC / MAC may see the HDR unit as an AVC compliant DV Device it is not intended
to be operated as such. The AVC command set is not supported.
To set the HDR unit into HDD Mode press Menu button so that it is illuminated.
You will see the display change to the HDD Mode Menu.
Press the Next (▲) Button (right) to select ENTER and the display will show the HDD Enable Confirmation
Screen.
Press the Next (▲) Button (right) again to confirm, after a few seconds HDD Mode will be enabled.
The PC / MAC should recognise that an external IEEE-1394 (Firewire) HDD has been connected. The HDR
unit can be used just like any external USB 2 drive.
To return the HDR unit to Deck Mode either use “Safely Remove Hardware” with a PC, or with a MAC use
“Eject” or Drag the HDR unit Drive to “Trash”. Once un-mounted the HDR unit display will return to the Track
Display.
