characters.

Only 12 characters of this name can be displayed by LSM systems.

A prefix name can be defined in Tools > Settings > Autoname/Clip.

VarID

VarID is a 32-character ID with variable length and format. It is
automatically assigned to new clip. It is mainly used to ensure redundancy
on the system. It can be unique for a clip on the EVS server level or on the
XNet network level, depending on EVS video server settings.

This numbering is based on the numbering of the LSM operational mode.

Tape ID

This identifies the tape on which the clip is stored.

UmID

EVS server automatically assigns a UmID to each new clip. It is used for
the unique identification of a clip on an XNet network.
