Clip metadata

You can add the name of the videographer, shooting location, text memos and other information to the video data you have recorded on the SD Memory Card. This data is called the clip metadata.

Display clip metadata with the META DATA PROP item (Page 103) in the setting menu RECORD SETUP screen.

There are two kinds of clip metadata: the data that is recorded automatically during shooting, and the data in the metadata upload file created on the SD Memory Card which is loaded in the unit.

This indicates the SHOOTER (name of the videographer) and the PLACE NAME (name of location).

This indicates the PROGRAM NAME, SCENE NO. and TAKE NO.

•Due to the limitations imposed by this unit on the number of characters which can be displayed, not all the data can be displayed. (This does not mean that the data which is not displayed has been deleted.) Use an AVCCAM viewer or other program to check all the data.
