Setting the title prefix
You can assign title prefixes by choosing from a
prefix list stored in internal memory, or by
entering the prefix directly.
However, to choose from a prefix list, you must
create the list beforehand on a computer and
transfer it to the unit's internal memory with a
“Memory Stick”.
Setting the initial value of the serial number
The initial value of the serial number can be set to
00001 (the default) or to any other number. The
number is automatically incremented by 1 each
time you record a clip. When it reaches 99999, it
returns to 00001 for the next clip.
Note
Duplicate clip titles can be generated depending on the
serial number setting, for example if you reset the serial
number to the original value after recording several clips.
Care should be taken when setting the serial number.
To assign user-defined titles
automatically when clips are recorded
(How to select an item in the menu screen: Turn
the MENU knob to move b to the desired item.)
1 Display the CLIP TITLE page of the
OPERATION menu.
For details on menu operations, see “Basic
menu operations” on page 163.
2 Select “TITLE” and then press the
MENU knob.
3 Turn the MENU knob to display
“ENABL” and then press the MENU
knob.
Clip titles will be generated automatically if
you record in this state.
The title of the next clip to be recorded will
be a combination of the prefix in the PREFIX
field and the serial number in the NUMERIC
field.
