Chapter 4 Shooting There are three 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. If you do not want to load a file automatically, add a "load" property to the PlanningMetadata tag and set the value of the property to "false", as shown in the shaded part of the following example. Example: • 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 140). • Use a web browser to load a planning metadata file (see page 144). (You must install the CBKZ-UPG01 Software Upgrade Key.) File creation rules File location File name Professional Disc: • Format that can be used in General/Sony/ Planning directory a) the General directory (see page 243) • 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. For greater convenience in planning metadata operations, you can use the optional CBK-WA01 WiFi adapter and the supplied Sony Planning Metadata Add-in application software. For details, refer to the operation manual of the CBK-WA01 Wi-Fi adapter. To set clip names by using planning metadata The following two types of clip name strings can be written in a planning metadata file. • The ASCII format name that appears in the viewfinder 1) • 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 141). 2) When no UTF-8 format name string is specified, the ASCII format name string is registered as the actual clip name. 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 140 and page 144). 2 Carry out steps 2 to 5 of "To assign clip names on this unit" (page 101). 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 Advanced Operations for Shooting 103
