Assigning user-defined clip and clip
list names
The following standard format names are assigned
automatically to clips and clip lists that are created or
recorded by XDCAM devices.
Clips: C0001.MXF to C9999.MXF
Clip lists: E0001E01.SMI to E0099E01.SMI
This unit can handle clips and clip lists with user-defined
names as well as names in the standard format.
Limitations
• Letters, numbers and symbols from the Unicode 2.0
character set can be used.
However, the following control characters and symbols
cannot be used.
- Control characters: U+0000 to U+001F, U+007F
- Symbols: ", *, /, :, <, >, ?, \, |
• Depending on the character type, the length of user-
defined names (the “C*” or “E*E01” part) may be
limited to 14 characters. (The limit for ASCII characters
is 56 characters.)
• All file n ame extensions are converted automatically to
uppercase.
• Titles are us ed as user-defined clip names on this unit.
Therefore, the available characters are limited to those
supported by the title function.
• Files gene rated along with clips and clip lists use the
same names (the “C*” or “E*” part of the following file
names).
- Cli ps: Metadata files (C*M01.XML), user metadata
files (C*M02.KLV), proxy AV data files
(C*S01.MXF)
- Clip lists: Metadata files (E*M01.XML)
• The following names cannot be assigned.
- Clips: C0000.MXF
- Clip lists: E0000E01.SMI, E0100E01.SMI to
E9999E01.SMI, E0000.SMI, E0100.SMI to
E9999.SMI
• The following names should be avoided.
- Clips: C5000.MXF to C9999.MXF
- Clip lists: E0001.SMI to E0099.SMI
To assign clip names on this unit
The title assigned to clip becomes its clip name (file
name).
• When the first letter of the title setting with setup menu
item 035 CLIP TITLE NAMING SELECT is a space or
period (.), the clip name is the title string minus the first
letter.
• An FTP client that supports UTF-8 is required to use
Unicode characters other than ASCII characters.
Command prompt FTP commands do not support
UTF-8.
