Continued from the previous page Media Information HD-P2 Screens and Menus Media Information reports information on the type of CF card/media that is in use. Figure 25 shows a 512 MB CF card from Toshiba. It has been formatted as a FAT-16 storage device for optimal performance of this size of media. Figure 25 - Media Information Screen Media Speed Check This performs a quick write/read speed check on the inserted CF media. The results are approximate and should be used only as a general guideline. Figure 26 is a results screen from CF media. Media Cleanup Figure 27 - Media Cleanup Screen Reformat Media Formatting media permanently deletes everything on the CF card. This does a low level format. In Figure 28 an example of the warning screen is shown. Figure 26 - Media Speed Check Media Cleanup lists all of the projects on the CF card, how much space the "active" files are using (shown in parentheses), and how much space is being used by files in the project trash. Selecting the Project will empty its trash after displaying a warning since the action is permanent. There is also the choice to Empty Trash In All Projects, which is convenient if you have many projects with files in their trash. Scan Media This utility is like Scandisk on a normal Windows machine. It will scan the media for file problems and attempt to fix them. It should be used only when needed to try and recover from media problems.
