MR-HD100 Drive

Shooting directory for storing video clips.

Directory named for template used.

Video clip and xml file moved to template directory from shooting directory.

During a recording session, video clips are placed in a directory automatically created by MR-HD100. Metadata is entered into the MR-HD100 database through the use of xml templates.

To make that data accessible, it is necessary to export it from the database into a xml file and link it to its video clip. This is done after the recording and data entry are completed.

There are two methods for doing this.

AUTO ORG

If AUTO ORG is enabled, after video is recorded, run HDD to mount MR-HD100 to a computer, and the video clips and xml files are placed in the folder with the same name as the template. In addition, a template xml file is created at the root level of the drive. This xml files includes links and metadata for all the clips that were recorded with that particular template loaded.

Export

Export is a function that allows the User to export the video clips metadata to either Apple XML Interchange Format or a Custom formatted xml document.
