Clip (recording data) and clip name
When you stop recording, video, audio and
subsidiary data from the start to end of the
recording are recorded as a single clip on an
SxS memory card.
For each clip recorded with this camcorder, a
clip name of 8 characters (the first four
alphanumerics and the second four numerics) is
automatically generated.
Example: ABCD0001
The first four alphanumerics can be specified as
desired using “Clip” (page 109) of the
OTHERS menu before you start recording. (It
cannot be changed after recording.)
The second four-digit number is automatically
counted up in sequence.
Notes on Clips
The XDCAM EX-series products employ the
FAT32 File System.
Thus, recorded materials may be segmented in
multiple files depending on the file size. But the
camcorder can play such materials seemlessly.
A long clip can be recorded crossing over two
memory cards in slot A and B.
When you copy clips to a hard disk drive, etc.
using a computer, it is recommended to use the
XDCAM EX Clip Browsing Software on the
supplied CD-ROM.
Note
If copying is done using Explorer (Windows)
or Finder (MAC), the continuity and
relationships of recorded materials may not be
maintained.
