minus the first letter.

To enable clip and clip list renaming by FAM
Carry out step 2 “To assign clip names on this unit”.
It is now possible to write, transfer, and rename clips and
clip lists with user-defined names over file access mode
(FAM) connections (see page 78).
To change clip names, execute the “Rename” command
for a file in the Clip folder with the extension “.MXF”.
The extension “.MXF” cannot be changed.

To change clip list names, execute the “Rename”
command for a file in the Edit folder with the extension
“. SMI”.
The extension “. SMI” cannot be changed.

To check clip names
Press the THUMBNAIL button to display the thumbnail
screen, and select the clip whose name you want to check.
The name of the selected clip appears at the upper left of
the screen.
However, when a title has been assigned to a clip, display
of the title takes priority. Titles are displayed enclosed in
double quotation marks (“ ”).

See “To display a list of thumbnail images” (page 49) for
more information about the thumbnail screen.

Clip names, clip list names, and titles are converted as
follows for display in the thumbnail screen and the CLIP
menu.
• If the names are longer than 15 characters, only the first

9 characters and the last 5 characters are displayed.
Other characters are converted into s.

• Lowercase characters are converted into uppercase.
• Kanji and other multibyte characters, and some

alphabetic symbols, are converted into s characters.
