Editing Metadata
Metadata can be edited from the 970 before, during, or after recording. Metadata edits to a take will
ripple to that same take on all drives. Metadata can be edited from the Take Details screen or from
the Metadata Screen.
Editing Metadata from Take Details
1. Press FILES to access the File List.
2. Rotate the Control knob to highlight a recorded take, the currently recording take (indicated
with red text), or the next take (always at the top of the list with a date label of “Next Take”):
Next Take
Current (recording)Take
Previous (recorded) Takes
3. Press the Control knob to access the Take Details screen. (For multi-file entries, hold the Con-
trol knob)
4. Rotate the Control knob to select the desired field for editing.
5. Press the Control knob and use the on-screen keyboard or attached USB keyboard to enter
text.
6. When finished, Select OK on the on-screen keyboard or press Enter on an attached USB key-
board. Changes made to the currently recording take and to previously recorded takes will
be written immediately.
The special list item “Next Take”, represents the file name and metadata for the take that will
be written the next time record is engaged. This entry does not represent a file on the drive. The
Scene and Take fields of the next take can be edited. Values entered into Scene and Take fields
of the next take will also be entered into Setup Menu options [File Storage - Scene/Shot] and
[File Storage - Take] respectively.
To enter notes for the Next Take:
1. Press FILES.
2. Select the Next Take file.
3. Select the Notes option.
4. Enter text for the note. Data entered in the Notes field for the Next Take will only apply to the
very next recording. It is not retained for subsequent recordings after that one.
