V6 User Manual 1.00.book - Studio General

When a folder is mounted normally, a library called '__QuickMount.pml' is created and stored in the originalfolder. This can dramatically reduce the time taken to mount media files when a project is opened.Note: The double underline is an integral part of the filenameIf the QuickMount library is not found then a standard mount is performed and a QuickMount library is created toenable future Quick Mounts to take place.Quick Mount libraries automatically regenerate when next mounted if anything changes in the Media Folder.Quick Mount libraries are not regenerated if Media Folders move, are renamed or change Drive letters.The menu option Media Folder > Create Quick Mount libraries creates all required Quick Mount libraries for agiven drive, folder or network path, recursively. (Typically this will be carried out overnight on the whole server)If new media files are added (or removed) to or from a previously 'Quick Mounted' folder, the Quick Mount librarycan be manually updated by selecting Media Manager > Refresh.If the Use Quick Mount whenever possible check box in the Settings > All Settings Application > Locationpage is checked, permanently mounted folders are automatically 'Quick Mounted' when the application is startedMounting RulesThis dialog allows various rules to be applied when parsing BWF or Wave files in a given folder. Pyramix alwaystries to group multiple mono files that are part of a single multi-track media when viewed in the Media Managerso the multiple mono files appear as a single item with multiple tracks numbered in the form A 1-2 or A 1-8, or A 1-2, 7-8, etc. Otherwise, you would see a separate entry for each mono file whether or not it is part of a multi-track'set'. In order to achieve this in the case of BWF files Pyramix looks at the BWF header and uses the OriginatorReference field as a Unique Identifier with some rules as defined by the EBU organization and some conventionsadopted between various manufacturers.It may happen that some files do not follow these rules and therefore sometimes the Pyramix Media Manager failsto properly mount these files. Sometimes some files are missing, or some tracks within a multi-track media aremissing. The Pyramix Media Manager detects these conflicts at the time the folder is mounted and informs theuser of such a problem, prompting him to go to the Media Manager > Drive > Mounting Rules menu item. TheMounting Rules dialog allows a variety of different rules to be applied for this or these Media Folders so all filesare properly mounted.Folders where a conflict has been detected appear in Red.Folders where a special Mounting Rule has been applied appear in Dark Green.Media Management : Mounting Rules 4 - 63
