Sony BKMW-E3000 Automatically Creating Files from Tape or Memory Label Information, Backing Up the Menu Settings, Saving the Files with a Different Name, When Tape is selected

Automatically Creating Files from Tape or Memory Label Information

MXF files can be automatically created from information recorded in the timecode (LTC) (rec start mark, a shot mark, a post mark) or information recorded on memory labels (rec start mark, shot mark, cue point, IN/OUT points).

In the case of files created from tape information, the data between marks is treated as a real file. In the case of files created from memory labels information, data between marks is treated as a temporary file.

When a file is created from the information on the memory label, data between the marks is treated as a temporary file. Do the procedure below to enable automatic file creation.

1 Right-click in an empty area in the file list and select Create File List from the popup menu.

The Create File List window appears.

2 Select the source (Tape or Tele-File) for which files will be automatically created.

The information recorded on the tape or Tele-File (memory label) is displayed.

3 Select the information for which files will be automatically created.
