Media Management & Libraries : Mounting Rules
4 - 86
Mounting Rules
This dialog allows various rules to be applied when parsing BWF or Wave files in a given folder. Pyramix always
tries to group multiple mono files that are part of a single multi-track media when viewed in the Media Manager
so 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 Originator Ref-
erence
field as a Unique Identifier with some rules as defined by the EBU organization and some conventions
adopted between various manufacturers.
It may happen that some files do not follow these rules and therefore sometimes the Pyramix Media Manager fails
to properly mount these files. Sometimes some files are missing, or some tracks within a multi-track media are
missing. The Pyramix Media Manager detects these conflicts at the time the folder is mounted and informs the
user of such a problem, prompting him to go to the
Media Manager > Drive > Mounting Rules menu item. The
Mounting Rules dialog allows a variety of different rules to be applied for this or these Media Folders so all files
are 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.
The
Mounting Rules dialog can be found in the Media Management Tab window in the Media Folder menu :
Media Folder > Mounting Rules
Most of the dialog is self-explanatory. The description of the Rules that can be applied appears in the Mounting
Rules dialog as above but for convenience, we have also listed the options on the left of the dialog below.
Special rules for Wave files
Do not validate Wave format Header and allow mounting invalid Wave files (at your own risk)
This can enable files to be mounted that do not follow the Wave specification strictly.
