Selection Scene 4 Chapter

Assigning Clip Titles

When the setup menu item OPERATIONAL FUNCTION >CLIP TITLE >AUTO TITLE is set to “ENABLE”, titles are displayed instead of clip numbers for all clips recorded after the setting is made.

Clip title

Titles are made up of a prefix of up to 10 characters and a 5-digit number. The factory default prefix is “TITLE”, and the initial value of the number is 00001. Therefore, the title of the first clip created with the “ENABLE” setting is “TITLE00001”. The number is incremented for each subsequent clip.

See “System Menu” (page 77) in Chapter 6 for more information about the setup menu.

To switch to clip number display

Set CLIP TITLE >AUTO TITLE to “DISABLE”.

Clip numbers are displayed for all clips recorded after the setting is made.

Notes

•Titles are displayed instead of clip numbers for clips that have titles.

•Use the CLIP STATUS screen of the disc menu (see page 89) if you want to check the clip number of a clip that has a title.

To assign clip titles

You can set the clip title prefix and the initial clip title number to arbitrary values.

For example, if you set the prefix to “SCENE” and the initial number to 00100, the next clip to be created will have the title “SCENE-00100”.
