General directory
a) UTF-8 file names can be up to 63 bytes in length. (Depending on the
character type, file names (including extension) may be limited to 21

General directory)

Notes

7-1-3 Assigning User-Defined Clip
Titles
By default, clips on each disc are assigned names in the
range C0001.MXF to C4999.MXF. For this reason, two
discs can contain clips with the same names. The
automatic title generation function
1)
allows you to assign
titles to all of the clips on several discs, which facilitates
clip management. For example, if the titles TITLE00001 to
TITLE00020 are assigned to clips C0001.MXF to
C0020.MXF on disc 1, then the titles TITLE00021 to
TITLE00037 are assigned to clips C0001.MXF to
C0017.MXF on disc 2.
1) This is supported from firmware version 1.4.
Proceed as follows to specify a title and assign it to
recorded clips.

2
Rotate the jog or shuttle dial to display menu item 035.
