Force Relinking Files in DigiBase

If you want to link to a substitute file (for exam-
ple, if you know a file has the same audio or 
video but does not have a matching File Name 
or Unique ID), you can force a relink.

◆

To force relink an audio file, its file format 

(WAV, SD2, AIFF, or MXF), sample rate and bit 
depth must match those of the original file.

To force relink a video file, its format (Quick-

Time, Avid, MXF, or OMF) and frame rate must 
match those of the original file.
