ALL AVAILABLE RECORD OPTIONS ARE FUNCTIONAL IN A DEMO MODE, BUT IF THE OPTION HAS NOT BEEN
ACTIVATED THE IMAGE FOR THAT OPTION WILL APPEAR WITH A LARGE BLUE BAR “WATERMARK” ON SCREEN WHEN
RECORDING. THIS BAR IS RECORDED IN THE IMAGE FILE.
SSDS
ERASE & FORMAT SSD1
Permanently erases everything
on SSD1.
FORMATTING IS A DESTRUCTIVE
PROCESS AND WILL ERASE ANY FILES
CURRENTLY ON THE SSD. BE SURE
TO DOWNLOAD ALL FILES BEFORE
FORMATTING.
REBUILD SSD1
Non-destructively recovers /
rebuilds file system of SSD1
Use only in extreme cases (such as
if a computer corrupts the SSDs file
system).
PLEASE NOTE:
Formatting should be performed at the start of use of any new SSDs and the start of any new
project. Recovery is for when the SSD was not properly dismounted from the Odyssey7. This includes
physically removing the SSD without running the eject sequence, sudden loss of power to the Odyssey7 or
improper powering down of the Odyssey7. The Recover process accesses any incomplete files on the SSD
and, when possible, properly closes them. NOTE: FORMATTING OF SSDs SHOULD ALWAYS BE PERFORMED
ON THE ODYSSEY7.
