The purpose of this wiki is to explain how to connect the Sound Devices Digital Audio Recorder (both model 702T and model 744T) to a computer. Once achieved, the recorded audio may be offloaded from the external recorder to another backup device.
The 702/744 has a FireWire (IEEE-1394) port which makes transfer of recorded files to a computer quick and easy. When connected, the 702/744 recording unit will mount to a Mac OS X or Windows computer as a local, removable mass storage devices. Using Mac Finder, Windows Explorer, or any other file utility, the audio files can be copied, read, and deleted directly to and from the recording unit. |
