Loading a Planning Metadata File

To record planning metadata together with clips,
it is necessary to load a planning metadata file
into the camcorder's memory in advance.
There are two ways to load files.
• Load a file (.xml) stored under the directory of
"BPAV/General/Sony/Planning" on an SxS
memory card.
• When a Wi-Fi connection is made between the
camcorder and a computer, operate the Web
menu built into the camcorder from the
computer to transfer a file.
For details on how to use the Web menu to load a
planning metadata file, refer to the Supplement in the
supplied CD-ROM labeled "Manuals for Solid-State
Memory Camcorder".
