Sony PMW-10MD Operating Instructions Manual page 37

Clip (recording data) and clip name
When you stop recording, video, audio and
subsidiary data from the start to end of the
recording are recorded as a single clip on an
SxS memory card.
For each clip recorded with this unit, a clip
name of 8 characters (the first four
alphanumerics and the second four numerics) is
automatically generated.
Example: ABCD0001
The first four alphanumerics can be specified as
desired using "Clip" (page 67) of the OTHERS
menu before you start recording. (It cannot be
changed after recording.)
The last half of the clip name (the four-digit
number) starts with the number set with "Clip"
>"Number Set" in the OTHERS menu. This
number is incremented by one with each new
clip.
Notes on clips
This unit employs the FAT32 File System.
Thus, recorded video materials may be
segmented in multiple files depending on the
file size.
A long clip can be recorded crossing over two
memory cards in slot A and B.
When you copy clips to a hard disk drive, etc.
using a computer, it is recommended to use the
XDCAM EX Clip Browsing Software on the
supplied CD-ROM.
Note
If copying is done using Explorer (Windows)
or Finder (MAC), the continuity and
relationships of recorded materials may not be
maintained.
Image file and directory names
JPEG images files are stored in the directory /
DCIM/XXXEXDCF/, where "XXX" is a three-
digit number.
On an SDHC card, they are stored in the
directory /PRIVATE/SONY/DCIM/
XXXEXDCF/, where "XXX" is a three-digit
number.
You can specify this number with "Photo"
>"Number Set" (see page 68) in the OTHERS
menu.
The image files are stored in the directory
specified in the above-mentioned manner. The
image file name format is "DSC0XXXX.JPG",
where "XXXX" is a number from 0001 to 9999.
The number is automatically incremented by
one for each new image.
Notes
• It is not possible to specify the names
assigned to JPEG files.
• Up to 9999 files can be recorded in one
directory. However, if a directory already
contains a file named "DSC09999.JPG",
because files have been moved or deleted, no
more image files can be recorded in that
directory.
Creating still images from clips
You can use the XDCAM EX Clip Browsing
Software installed on your computer to create
still images from recorded clips.
The following index marks are automatically
added while video is being recorded.
RecStart: Added automatically at the start of
video recording
ShotMark1: Added each time the FREEZE/
FLASH button is pressed while video is
being recorded
ShotMark2: Added each time the FREEZE/
FLASH button and then the PHOTO button
is pressed while video is being recorded
Refer to the operating instructions of the XDCAM
EX Clip Browsing Software for more information
about how to search for index marks and how to
create still images.
