File location File name
USB Flash drive: • ASCII characters (up to
General/Sony/
Planning directory
• Extension: XML
a) The General/Sony/Planning directory is generated
automatically when you format a disc.
Note
Do not save more than 100 planning metadata files in the
above save locations. The unit may fail to load the files
correctly if more than 100 are saved.
For greater convenience in planning metadata
operations, you can use the optional CBK-WA01 Wi-
Fi adapter and the supplied Sony Planning Metadata
Add-in application software. For details, refer to the
operation manual of the CBK-WA01 Wi-Fi adapter.
To set clip names by using planning
metadata
The following two types of clip name strings can
be written in a planning metadata file.
• The ASCII format name that appears in the
1)
viewfinder
• The UTF-8 format name that is actually
registered as the clip name
1) It is also possible to display the UTF-8 format name,
or no name (see page 131).
2) When no UTF-8 format name string is specified, the
ASCII format name string is registered as the actual
clip name.
Clip name string format
In a text editor, modify the two fields in the
<Title> tag that contain the clip name strings (the
shaded fields in the example in the next section
"Clip name string example").
Enter a name in the first field in ASCII format (up
to 50 characters), and enter another name in the
second field in UTF-8 format (up to 50 bytes).

Notes
• When you create a file, enter each statement as a single
line with a CRLF only after the last character in the
statement line, and do not enter spaces except where
specified.
• If the UTF-8 format string exceeds 50 bytes, the ASCII
format string is used as the clip name string.
If no ASCII format name is specified, the standard
format clip name is used.
When an ASCII format name string exceeds 50
characters, and when an UTF-8 format name string
exceeds 50 bytes, the standard format clip name is
used.
Setting clip names
1
Load a planning metadata file
containing clip names into the unit's
memory (see page 129 and page 134).
2
Carry out steps 2 to 5 of "To assign clip
names on this unit" (page 91).
3
Turn the MENU knob to display
"PLAN", and then press the MENU
knob.
Each time that you start recording, the unit
automatically creates clip names using the
names specified in the planning metadata
file. An underscore (_) and a five-digit serial
number (00001 to 99999) is appended to
each clip name.
Examples of automatically generated clip
names
• Clip names displayed in the viewfinder:
Typhoon_00001, Typhoon_00002, ...
• The actually recorded clip names:
Typhoon_Strikes_Tokyo_00001,
Typhoon_Strikes_Tokyo_00002, ...
1) When display of the ASCII format clip name has
been selected (see page 131).
Notes
• The serial numbers return to 00001 on the next
recording operation if you reach number 99999.
