Notes
• Directories cannot be created in the Clip
directory.
• When the following operations,
supported by version 1.5 and higher
XDCAM devices, are carried out on a
disc, then it becomes impossible for
version 1.4x and lower XDCAM devices
to record new clips or delete existing
clips on that disc. (The only possible
operations are playback and disc
formatting.)
- Writing of clips with user-defined
names
- Locking of clips
- Deletion of clips (except the last
recorded clip)
• If you attempt to write a C*.MXF file
which does not meet the conditions
specified as remark c) on this table via a
FAM connection, a Windows error
message appears to the effect that the file
or directory is corrupt and cannot be read.
