the next number restarts from 00001.
• Duplicate clip titles can be generated if you reset the
serial number after recording several clips or the same is
true depending on the value setting. Care should be taken
when setting the serial number.
• The “PREFIX” setting is saved in memory banks, but the
“NUMERIC” setting is not saved (see page 97).

recorded by XDCAM devices.
Clips: C0001.MXF to C4999.MXF

defined names (the “C*” or “E*E01” part) may be
limited to 14 characters. (The limit for ASCII characters
is 56 characters.)
• All file name extensions are converted automatically to
uppercase.
• Titles are used as user-defined clip names on this unit.
Therefore, the available characters are limited to those

To assign clip names on this unit
The title assigned to clip becomes its clip name (file
name).
Notes
• When the first letter of the title setting with basic menu
item 035 “CLIP TITLE NAMING SELECT” is a space
or period (.), the clip name is the title string minus the
first letter.
• An FTP client that supports UTF-8 is required to use
Unicode characters other than ASCII characters.
Command prompt FTP commands do not support UTF-
8.
