• The UTF-8 format name that is actually
registered as the clip name
2)
1)It is also possible to display the UTF-8 format name,
or no name (see page 137).
2)When no UTF-8 format name string is specified, the
ASCII format name string is registered as the actual
clip name.
By loading a file from one of the following
locations into the unit’s memory before starting to
shoot, you can register the names in the file as clip
names.
There are two ways to load files.
• Automatically load a file that has been written
to the following directory on a Professional
Disc via an FTP or FAM connection.
• Use a GUI screen to load a file that has been
written to the following directories on a
Professional Disc or a USB flash drive (see
page 136).
File creation rules
a) The General/Sony/Planning directory is generated
automatically when you format a disc.
Note
Do not save more than 100 planning metadata files in the
above save locations. The unit may fail to load the files
correctly if more than 100 are saved.
Clip name string format
In a text editor, modify the two fields in the
<Title> tag that contain the clip name strings (the
shaded fields in the example below).
Enter a name in the first field in ASCII format (up
to 52 characters), and enter another name in the
second field in UTF-8 format (up to 52 bytes).

Notes
• When you create a file, enter each statement as a single
line with a CRLF only after the last character in the
statement line, and do not enter spaces except where
specified.
• If the UTF-8 format string is longer than 52 characters,
the ASCII format string is used as the clip name string.
Setting clip names
1 Load a planning metadata file
containing clip names into the unit’s
memory (see page 136).
2 Carry out steps 2 to 5 of “To assign clip
names on this unit” (page 99).
3 Turn the MENU knob to display
“PLAN”, and then press the MENU
knob.
Each time that you start recording, the unit
automatically creates clip names using the
names specified in the planning metadata
file. An underscore (_) and a three-digit serial
number (001 to 999) is appended to each clip
name.
Examples of automatically generated clip
names
• Clip names displayed in the viewfinder:
Typhoon_001, Typhoon_002, ...
• The actually recorded clip names:
Typhoon_Strikes_Tokyo_001,
Typhoon_Strikes_Tokyo_002, ...
1)
1) When display of the ASCII format clip name has
been selected (see page 137).
Notes
• The serial numbers return to 001 on the next
recording operation if you reach number 999.
