• Creating Content

This involves two parallel steps.

Recording Video

Event is recorded in a DTE format as a series of video clips.

Using a PDA, such as an iPod iTouch, the videographer or editor connects to the MR-HD100 via wireless peer-to- peer network and accesses the Metadata templates through the MR-HD100 web server, see Connect Using Wireless on page 163.

Logging consists of selecting the appropriate template for the clip, entering information into the metadata fields, and saving in the MR-HD100 database, see
