To enable clip and clip list renaming by FAM
Carry out steps 2 to 6 of “To assign clip names on this
unit”.
It is now possible to write, transfer, and rename clips and
clip lists with user-defined names over file access mode
(FAM) connections (see page 158).
To rename a clip, execute “Rename” on a clip with the
extension “.MXF” in the Clip folder.
The “.MXF” extension cannot be changed.
To rename a clip list, execute “Rename” on a clip list with
the extension “.SMI” in the Edit folder.
The “.SMI” extension cannot be changed.
To check clip names
Press the THUMBNAIL button to display the thumbnail
screen, and select the clip whose name you want to check.
The name of the selected clip appears at the upper left of
the screen.
However, when the clip has a title, the title is displayed
instead. Titles are enclosed in double quotation marks
(“ ”).
See “Thumbnail Search” (page 82) for more information
about the thumbnail screen.
Items in the upper left of the screen are displayed in the
following order of priority.
Title > user-assigned clip name > standard clip name
Therefore, the display changes as follows, depending on
whether a clip has a title.
- The title is displayed for clips recorded on this unit
which have titles.
- The user-assigned or standard clip name is displayed
for clips which do not have titles.
On XDCAM devices with firmware earlier than version
1.4, clips with user defined names are displayed as
“C5000” to “C9999” in the order of recording.
Clip names and clip list names are converted as follows
for display in the thumbnail screen and the CLIP menu.
- If the clip name is longer than 15 characters, then the
first 9 characters and the last 5 characters are
displayed. Other characters are converted into s
symbols.
- Lowercase characters are converted to uppercase.
- Kanji and other multibyte characters and some
symbols are converted into s symbols. Sequences of
s symbols are converted into a single s symbol.
The following 21 symbols can be displayed.
: . ? ! # * / ( ) + - & @ = < > % " ; _ $
