7-1 Overview

General directory

a) UTF-8 file names can be up to 63 bytes in length. (Depending on the

character type, file names (including extension) may be limited to 21
characters.)

b) Only when the write inhibit tab on the disc is set to enable recording, and

when extended menu item 310 “REC INHIBIT” is set to “off.”

The following directory operations are possible in the
General directory.
• Directory creation (up to 64 levels, including the

General directory)

• Deletion and renaming of directories

Notes

• The maximum number of files which can be created on

a disc, including directories, is 5,000.

• File names and directory names can use letters, numbers,

and symbols from the Unicode 2.0 (UTF-8) character
set.

However, the following control characters and symbols
cannot be used.
- Control characters: U+0000 to U+001F, U+007F
- Symbols: ", *, /, :, <, >, ', ?, \, |

7-1-3 Assigning User-Defined Clip

Titles

By default, clips on each disc are assigned names in the
range C0001.MXF to C4999.MXF. For this reason, two
discs can contain clips with the same names. The
automatic title generation function

1)

allows you to assign

titles to all of the clips on several discs, which facilitates
clip management. For example, if the titles TITLE00001 to
TITLE00020 are assigned to clips C0001.MXF to
C0020.MXF on disc 1, then the titles TITLE00021 to
TITLE00037 are assigned to clips C0001.MXF to
C0017.MXF on disc 2.

1) This is supported from firmware version 1.4.

Proceed as follows to specify a title and assign it to
