Chapter 4 Shooting • 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 File location File name Professional Disc: General/Sony/ Planning directory a) • Format that can be used in the General directory (see page 229) • Extension: XML USB Flash drive: • ASCII characters (up to General/Sony/ 63 characters including Planning directory the extension) • Extension: XML 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 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). Clip name string example 3 3 3 Typhoon_Strikes_Tokyo3 3 3 In the above example, sp indicates a space and 3 indicates a carriage return. 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. Advanced Operations for Shooting 101
