NOTE: THIS BACKUP METHOD WORKS FOR MOST AUDIO AND VIDEO DEVICES RECORDING TO CARD MEDIA.  HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE USING A CANON XF PRODUCT PLEASE FOLLOW THIS WIKI DOCUMENT FOR PROPER CARD BACKUP

 

1.) Remove the card from your recording device, unless otherwise instructed (USB cable included with equipment) 
2.) Option A: Insert the card directly into a similar card port on your laptop or computer.  Do not force the card.  If you are unsure if the card and port properly match consult a lab proctor for information
2.) Option B: Insert the card into similar card port on an external USB card reader.  Card readers can be found at many of our lab computers or can be checked out from a lab proctor.  Here is a list of recommended card readers you can purchase for yourself
3.) Insert the external USB card reader into a USB port on your laptop or computer
4.) The card should mount on your Macintosh Desktop

     If using Windows, the card should be accessible through a new Windows Explorer window

    Depending on what recording device you used, cards will sometimes have different names like UNTITLED, NONAME, ETC.  These names are not important.
