Assigning Clip Titles

When the setup menu item OPERATIONAL FUNCTION

>CLIP TITLE >AUTO TITLE

(see page 94)

is set to

“ENABLE”, titles are displayed instead of clip numbers

for all clips recorded after the setting is made.

Titles are made up of a prefix of up to 5 characters and a 5-

digit number. The factory default prefix is “TITLE”, and

the initial value of the number is 00001. Therefore, the title

of the first clip created with the “ENABLE” setting is

“TITLE00001”. The number is incremented for each

subsequent clip.

See “System Menu” (page 90) in Chapter 6 for more

information about the setup menu.

To switch to clip number display

Set CLIP TITLE >AUTO TITLE to “DISABLE”.

Clip numbers are displayed for all clips recorded after the

setting is made.

•

Titles are displayed instead of clip numbers for clips that

have titles.

•

Use the CLIP STATUS screen of the disc menu

(see

page 108)

if you want to check the clip number of a clip

that has a title.

To assign clip titles

You can set the clip title prefix and the initial clip title

number to arbitrary values.

For example, if you set the prefix to “SCENE” and the

initial number to 00100, the next clip to be created will

have the title “SCENE-00100”.

number, press the SET button.

The message “NOW SAVING...” appears, the title is

If you return the initial number to the default value after

creating several clips, and then continue recording, clips

with the same titles may be created.

Assigning User-Defined Clip and

automatically to clips and clip lists that are created or

recorded by XDCAM devices.

Clips:

C0001 to C0300

Clip lists:

format names. You can assigned user-defined names

meaningful names to clips and clip lists can facilitate file

management.
