Sony PMW-RX50 Operating Instructions Manual page 30

• A string of up to 44 bytes (or 44 characters) is valid as
a clip name. If a UTF-8-format string exceeds 44 bytes,
the string up to the 44th byte is used as the clip name.
If only a string in ASCII format is specified, the
ASCII-format name up to the 44th characters is used as
the clip name. When neither the ASCII-format name
string nor UTF-8-format name string is valid, a clip
name in the standard format is used.
Using a clip name defined in planning metadata
Load a planning metadata file that contains the
clip name into memory of the recorder, then
select [Plan] in [Auto Naming] in [Clip] (page 59)
in the [OTHERS] menu.
Clip names are generated by adding an
underscore (_) and a 5-digit serial number (00001
to 99999).
Example: Typhoon_Strikes_Tokyo_00001,
Typhoon_Strikes_Tokyo_00002, ...
Notes
• If the serial number reaches 99999, it returns to 00001
upon the next recording.
• When you load another planning metadata file, the 5-
digit serial number returns to 00001.
Defining Shot Mark names in Planning
Metadata
When you record shot mark 1 or shot mark 2, you
can apply a name to the shot mark, using a string
defined in planning metadata.
Example of shot mark name strings
Use a text editor to modify the description for the
<Meta name> tag.
The shaded fields in the example are shot mark
name strings.
Names can be either in ASCII format (up to 32
characters) or UTF-8 format (up to 16 characters).
Here, "sp" indicates a space and 3 indicates a
carriage return.
Note
If a name string contains even one non-ASCII character,
the maximum length of that string is limited to 16
characters.

Note
When you create a file, enter each statement as a single
line by breaking a line with a CRLF only after the last
character of the line, and do not enter spaces except
where specified with "sp," except within shot mark name
strings.

You can copy planning metadata files stored in

collectively to another SxS memory card.

the [OTHERS] menu.
