What you'll need
1 Sound Devices 8 series (888 or Scorpio)

Access to Frame.io or the Frame.io iOS app
A Frame.io Project with C2C Connections Integration enabled

Setup
First, configure the recorder to record and save the desired formats to the appropriate storage location. This can be set up in the Main Menu under
11. Record/Play > 5. Track to Media Routing. Refer to your Sound Devices documentation for more information. Frame.io C2C works with both WAV or AAC files.From the Main Menu, go to
12. Files > 10. Frame.io. In this menu we can choose our upload source, our upload mode, and pair the recorder to Frame.io.Since you've already set up the recorder to save certain formats to certain storage locations, choosing the upload source here will determine what format gets uploaded to Frame.io. Under Upload Drive, select the storage location that has the desired format.
Next, set Upload Mode to the desired behavior. For most workflows, Record Folder (New takes) is recommended.
Finally, pair your recorder to your Frame.io Project by following the prompts in the C2C Connections tab on Frame.io or in the Frame.io iOS app. You can generate the Cube's pairing code by pressing the metal switch just below the center of the screen.
