When formatting recording media using the storage manager, your URSA Broadcast G2 will
use the Camera ID from the slate and reel number to name the card. Your camera automatically
increments reel numbers each time you format. If you need to manually enter a specific reel
number, tap the ‘pencil icon’ and enter the number you want to format the card as.
When you start a new project, reel numbering will reset to 1 when you tap on ‘reset data’ in the
‘project’ tab of the slate.
It’s worth mentioning that if your camera’s media storage switch is set to SD or CFast, only the
selected card type will be formatted when you tap ‘format card’. For information on switching
between CFast and SD storage see the ‘SD Cards’ section earlier in this manual.
The storage manager on your URSA Broadcast G2 will indicate
whether you are currently managing CFast, SD, USB or SSD media
TIP If your URSA Broadcast G2 is set to record to SD cards and you have inserted
alocked card, you will be unable to format that card. A padlock icon will appear next to
the card’s name in the storage manager. Simply unlock thecard to format and record.
For more information on locking SD cards, see the ‘SDcards’ section of this manual.
Preparing Media on Mac
The Disk Utility application included with Mac can format your CFast card, SD card, or SSD
in the HFS+ or exFAT formats.
Make sure you back up anything important from your media as all data will be lost when
it is formatted.
1 Connect the storage media to your computer using a card reader, dock or adapter,
and dismiss any message offering to use your media for Time Machine backups.
2 Go to applications/utilities and launch Disk Utility.
3 Click on the disk icon for your camera’s storage media and then click the ‘erase’ tab.
4 Set the ‘format’ to ‘Mac OS extended (journaled)’ or ‘exFAT’.
5 Type a ‘name’ for the new volume and then click ‘erase’. Your camera’s storage media
will quickly be formatted and made ready for use.
