Assigning User-Defined Clip Titles
Automatically
About the Automatic Title Generation
Function
By default, clips on each disc are assigned names in the
range C0001.MXF to C0300.MXF. For this reason, two
discs can contain clips with the same names. The
automatic title generation function allows you to assign
titles to all of the clips on several discs, which facilitates
clip management.
For example, if the titles TITLE00001 to TITLE00020 are
assigned to clips C0001.MXF to C0020.MXF on disc 1,
then the titles TITLE00021 to TITLE00037 are assigned to
clips C0001.MXF to C0017.MXF on disc 2.
Titles are made up of prefixes, up to 10 characters in
length, and five-digit serial numbers such as “TITLE
00001”.
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.
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
On the CLIP TITLE page of the OPERATION menu, set
TITLE to ENABL.
For details on menu operations, see “Basic Menu
Operations” on page 132.
The following items appear.
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.
To use any alphanumeric character string, see the
following.
