in the table below:
NAME DESCRIPTION EXAMPLE
Camera Letter Menu > Media > Format Media > Cam ID A
Reel Number Menu > Media > Format Media > Reel ID 004
Clip Number The clip number increments by 1 C001
Month Month that the clip is recorded 12
Day Day that the clip is recorded 23

any possibility of duplicate names being created

For example, a sequence of clip folders within a media folder on Camera A may look like this:

A001_C001_05026M.RDC

A001_C002_0502CE.RDC

A001_C003_0502R5.RDC
MULTI CAMERA SHOOTS
The scheme provides flexibility to uniquely identify clips from different cameras on a multi-camera shoot. For
example, three cameras, slated as camera A, camera B, and camera C respectively, can generate these easily
recognizable clips on their respective SSDs:

A001_C001_0502**.RDC

B001_C001_0502**.RDC

C001_C001_0502**.RDC
3D (STEREO) CAMERA SHOOTS
The scheme also allows unique identification of clips from left and right eye cameras on a stereo shoot. For
example, two cameras, both slated as Camera S, can generate these easily recognizable clips on their respec-
tive SSDs:
 S001_L001_0502**.RDC

S001_R001_0502**.RDC
