17.8 TAKE
Custom Clip
Naming
Ki Pro Quad v5.2r3
This parameter is used with parameter 17.5 ALPHA APPEND to append a text value after
the CLIP NUMBER or have no text appended. These are the options:
ALPHA (default)
NONE
This parameter is used with parameter 17.4 CLIP APPEND to append a text value after the
CLIP NUMBER. These are the options:
A to Z
(default = A)
This parameter determines the TAKE number, from 1 to 999, that follows the CLIP NAME
and CLIP NUMBER, followed by any ALPHA APPEND (if selected), generated for all clips
while using this setting. These are the options:
1 to 999
(default = 1)
Ki Pro Quad follows these Clip and Take rules when using standard naming conventions:
1. Ki Pro Quad will not overwrite an existing clip.
2. The Take number will auto-increment past existing numbers for the "prefix" as
defined by the Reel Name, Clip Name, Clip Number, Clip Append, Alpha Append, and
Take settings.
3. If the number is at "999", Ki Pro Quad will record a clip with take 999, but then cannot
auto advance so the second attempt to record will generate a "Name In Use" alarm.
This prompts you to select a new Clip Name, Clip Number, Clip Append, Alpha
Append, and/or Take settings so that a new unique "prefix" is created. This action
ensures files are unique and understandable, and that clips are never overwritten.
Users can elect to give their clips names other than the standard criteria provided by AJA.
IMPORTANT: Certain characters may not be allowed or supported if entered for a clip
name. Examples include: punctuation marks (other than internal spaces or periods),
special characters (like @), and non-ASCII UTF-8 characters are rejected outright. Note:
non-UTF-8 characters appear in some languages, like Chinese and Japanese, and are not
supported.
Custom clip names can be created via the front panel UI menu parameters (19.1, 19.2,
and 19.4) through the use of the SELECT and ADJUST up/down arrows. Users may find
that the more efficient method to perform custom clip naming is via the web UI entry
fields.
NOTE:
When entering characters for a custom clip name, you must scroll through all characters
using the Adjust buttons until you reach the end of the name space before the name is
accepted.
The text value entered in ALPHA APPEND is appended to the
CLIP NAME and CLIP NUMBER
No text is appended to the CLIP NAME and CLIP NUMBER
Press ADJUST button up or down to change the ALPHA
APPEND value from A to Z. Alphabetic values increment with
A and Z wrapping around.
Ki Pro Quad automatically generates a TAKE number.
Press ADJUST button up or down to change the TAKE value
from 1 to 999, if a value other than the automatically
generated value is desired.
