If the Receiving Side Has a File of the Same Name With the File Being Transferred

The File Transfer Select window appears.

Select one of Overwrite, Change Filename, Append, and Complete Partial File in the window.

Overwrite: Overwrites the file on the receiving side with the file being transferred. (It is necessary to have the access privilege to the file on the receiving side.)

Change Filename: Renames and saves the transferred file.

Append: When the file on the receiving side is at the end of the tape (the file attributes are displayed as red- colored text in the file list), adds the transferred file at the end of the receiving-side file.

Complete Partial File: When the file on the receiving side is a partial file recorded at the end of the tape (the file attributes are displayed as pink-colored text in the file list), adds the part of the transferred file which is missing in the receiving-side file.

When a virtual file is being transferred between e-VTRs, only Change Filename can be selected.

Partial file

If the network is disconnected or the transmitting server stops for more than 30 seconds while receiving a file, a temporary file is created using data received on the way. This temporary file is called “partial file.”

Changing File Attributes (Change Attribute)

Clicking on the Change Attribute button on the Toolbar opens the File Atribute window, permitting you to change the attibuttes for the currently selected file.

To change the filename

In the File Name field enter characters for the desired name, and click on the OK button. You can use up to 23 characters.

To change the owner name

In the Owner Name field enter characters for the desired name, and click on the OK button. For the new name, you can use any of the user names that have been registered to the e-VTR. You cannot use unregistered user names.

To change access priviledges

You can change read and write permissions of the Owner and Others (Users who are not the owner).

To give a read permission, click on the Read button so that it is depressed. To give a write permission, click on the Write button so that it is depressed.

To change the file type

You can change the file type from Real to Temporary and vice versa. To change the file type to Real, click on the Real button so that it is depressed. To change the file type to Temporary, click on the Temporary button so that it is depressed.

To specify the metadata

Enter the filename under which metadata are stored in the Metadata File field, then click on the OK button.

This connects the MXF D10 video/audio data with the metadata and permits them to be packaged as a single MXF file for transmission.

The metadata file is obtained from the spedified Metadata Directory (see page 26).
