Notes

• When you create a file, enter each statement as a single

line with a CRLF only after the last character in the
statement line, and do not enter spaces except where
specified.

• Up to 44 bytes (or characters) string is available for the

clip name.
If the UTF-8 format string exceeds 44 bytes, 44 bytes
string is used as the clip name.
If only ASCII format name is specified, 44 characters
string is used as the clip name.
When neither an ASCII format name string nor UTF-8
format name string can be used, the standard format
clip name is used.

You can use the Sony Planning Metadata Add-in
application software supplied with the CBK-WA01
Wi-Fi Adapter to define clip names. For details, refer
to the Operating Instructions supplied with the CBK-
WA01.

To set clip names

Load a planning metadata file that
contains clip names into this
camcorder.

Set OPERATION >Clip >Auto Naming
in the setup menu to [Plan].

Each time that you record a clip, the unit
automatically generates a name consisting of
the clip name defined in the planning
metadata file, with the addition of an
underbar (_) and a five-digit serial number
(00001 to 99999).

Examples:

Typhoon_Strikes_Tokyo_00001,
Typhoon_Strikes_Tokyo_00002, ...

Note

When you load another planning metadata file, the serial
number returns to 00001 with the next recording
operation.

To select the clip name display format

When names are defined in both ASCII format
and UTF-8 format, you can use OPERATION
>Clip >Clip Name Disp in the setup menu to
select which of the names to display on the
viewfinder screen.

To display ASCII format names:

Select

Title1(ASCII).
The clip name becomes
“Typhoon_Strikes_Tokyo_SerialNumber”,
but “Typhoon_SerialNumber” is displayed
on the screens.

To display UTF-8 format names:

Select

Title2(UTF-8).
The clip name becomes
“Typhoon_Strikes_Tokyo_SerialNumber”,
and the same name is displayed on the
screens.

When you use planning metadata to set shot
marks, you can define names for Shot Mark 0 to
Shot Mark 9.
When you record shot marks, you can add the
shot mark name strings defined in the planning
metadata.

Notes

• Shot marks are set for left slot clips only.
• Shot Mark 1 and Shot Mark 2 can be recorded on the

camcorder. Shot Mark 3 to Shot Mark 9 and Shot Mark
0 can be recorded by operation from a computer which
is connected with the camcorder via Wi-Fi.

Shot mark name string example

Use a text editor to modify the fields in the < Meta
name> tag.
The shaded fields in the example are essence
mark name strings. Names can be either in ASCII
format (up to 32 characters) or UTF-8 format (up
to 16 characters).
“sp” indicates a space and

indicates a carriage

return.

Note

If a name string contains even one non-ASCII character,
the maximum length of that string is 16 characters.
