Planning Metadata

Planning metadata is information about
shooting and recording plans, recorded in an
XML file.
You can shoot using clip names and shot
mark names defined in advance in a planning
metadata file.
You can send and receive planning metadata
using the "Content Browser Mobile"
application.
[Note]
Use a font set that is compatible with the language
set using Maintenance >Language in the setup menu
when defining clip names and shot mark names. Using
fonts for a language that is different from the language
setting on the camcorder may cause characters to be
displayed abnormally.

The following two types of clip name strings
can be written in a planning metadata file.

ˎ
viewfinder
ˎ A UTF-8 format name that is actually ˎ
registered as the clip name
You can select which type of clip name is
displayed with Operation >Planning Metadata

When a clip name is set with planning
metadata, the clip name is displayed.
[Note]
When you define both an ASCII format name and a
UTF-8 format name with planning metadata, the UTF-8
format string is used as the clip name string. If you

name with planning metadata, the defined format name
is displayed though it is not selected by menu setting.

name strings. "Typhoon" is described in ASCII
format (up to 44 characters). "Typhoon_
Strikes_Tokyo" is described in UTF-8 format (up
to 44 bytes).
