required to use Unicode characters other than ASCII
characters. Command prompt FTP commands do not
support UTF-8.
• When the first letter of the title setting on the CLIP
AUTO TITLING menu is a space or period (.), the clip
name is the title string minus the first letter.

you want to check.
The name of the selected clip appears in the upper

information.
Note
The item at the upper left of the screen is displayed
according to the following order of priority.
Title > user-defined clip name > standard format clip
name
Therefore, the display of this item changes as follows,
depending on whether or not there is a title.
• When a title has been set as a clip name on this unit, the
title is displayed for clips recorded on this unit.
• The user-defined name or standard format name is
displayed for clips without a title.
To check clip information (name, title,
etc.)
For details, see "Checking clip properties"
(page 115).

Using planning metadata

Planning metadata is a file that contains metadata
about the clips to be shot and recorded.
To use planning metadata, you need to load a
planning metadata file into the unit's memory
before starting to shoot.
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 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: <PlanningMetadata ...
load="false"
version="1.00">

• 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 128).
• Use a web browser to load a planning metadata
file (see page 133).
