Notes

•The value of the serial number is incremented by 1 every time a title is generated. When the value reaches 99999, the next number restarts from 00001.

•Duplicate clip titles can be generated if you reset the serial number after recording several clips or the same is true depending on the value setting. Care should be taken when setting the serial number.

•The “PREFIX” setting is saved in memory banks, but the “NUMERIC” setting is not saved (see page 96).

6-1-4 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 C4999.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. 1)

1) This is supported from firmware version 1.5.

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 name extensions are converted automatically to uppercase.

•Titles are used as user-defined clip names on this unit. Therefore, the available characters are limited to those supported by the title function.

•Files generated along with clips and clip lists use the same names (the “C*” or “E*” part of the following file names).

-Clips: Metadata files (C*M01.XML), 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).

Notes

•When the first letter of the title setting with basic 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.
