File Identification Naming and Scene Marking

DR-DV5000 files are identified by TRACK and VOLUME (disk drive) number on the LCD. For instance, a file on the DR-DV5000 LCD identified as 1-043 is clip number 43 on Volume (disk) 1.

On a computer, files are identified by their base file name made up of DATE and TIME. For instance, a clip named 20030615-210943- 01.mov is a clip that began recording at 9:09:43PM on June 15th. 2003.

Clips can also be organized into pre-named folders on the disk drive using the Scene Marking feature. If a clip has been Scene Marked, it will be displayed in brackets (e.g. <XXXXXX>) above the soft key labels on the LCD. Mark clips during REC, STOP or PLAY modes using the supplied remote commanders or by pressing SHFT+DISP. While holding SHFT, press DISP to scroll through available folders. At the close of a session, select MENU -> UTILITIES - >ORGANIZE FOLDER. See the User Guide for more information on Scene Marking.
