Ninja Blade uses a
unitname, scene, shot
and
take
naming
convention:
NINJABLD_S001_S001_T001
This was recorded on a
Ninja Blade unit
called
NINJABLD
, the
scene selected was 1, the shot selected was 1 and it was take 1.
Below is an example of your playback browser window showing file
names.
To organise your clips you need to access the Scene & Shot. To navigate
press Menu on the main screen and then press Scene & Shot on the
menu screen.
You can see along the top you have
scene
and
Shot
with a large
underlined number, this is the current selection.
To change them press scene or shot (depending on the one you wish
to change) then the number you wish it to set as. In each selection this goes
up to 999.
Once selected you will see the underlined number at the top will have
changed. You can now go back to the Main screen and start your record.
If you do not set this up Ninja Blade will start recording from
Scene 1 and Shot 1 automatically.
The Ninja Blade uses the exFAT file system. This is
recognised natively by both PCs and Macs, without any
need to install driver software. It is a 64-bit file system that
will let you record to the full capacity of your storage medium
without any need to “segment” the files. The maximum
file size is so large that you do never need to worry about
exceeding it.
For Windows XP, service pack 3 and a special exFAT patch
are required. Both are available on the Microsoft ® website.
For MAC OS Snow Leopard 10.6.5 or higher is required.
