Media State (12.1): This parameter defines whether the media is used for video/audio
recording or data transfer using an Ethernet LAN or Firewire 800 (FW).
Encode Type (14.1): This parameter defines the Apple ProRes encoding method.
Play Media (15.1): This parameter determines behavior during playback: either one
clip will play when "Play" is selected, or all clips on the media (All) or in the playlist
(Playlist) will be played. See parameter 15.1, Play Media, in Chapter 3 for details.
Loop Play (15.2): This parameter turns looped playback on and off.
Play List (15.3) This parameter specifies the playlist to be played.
Dropped Frames (15.4) This parameter determines how playback handles dropped
frames.
Format Media (16.1): This parameter is used to format the currently selected storage
device.
Reel Name (17.0): The reel name is a number between 1 and 999. It determines the
reel name associated with all clips generated using this setting. It is also the name
of the media as it will appear when the storage device (storage module or
ExpressCard/34) is mounted on a Mac OSX desktop. To enter a specific value, click
on the number to highlight it, type in a value, and press Enter to confirm the new
value. You may also click and drag on the slider to make adjustments. To
increment by single values using the slider, click the slider to highlight it, and
then press the "back" arrow or "forward" arrow on your keyboard. Note: the Reel
Name cannot be changed once a recording session starts on the storage unit
without reformatting the drive.
Clip Name (17.2): This parameter determines the clip name associated with all clips
generated while using this setting. The clip name is either "Clip" or "SC".
