a) With firmware version 1.5 and higher, the unit
can handle files with user-defined names in the
“C*” part.
b) Possible with firmware version 1.5 and higher.
c) Only files which are 2 seconds or longer in
length, in a format matching the line mode
format (525/625) and recording format
(IMX50/IMX40/IMX30/DVCAM and
number of audio channels) of the recorded
sections of the disc, and which can be
overwritten by XDCAM.
d) Only when the Write Inhibit tab on the disc is
set to enable recording. With firmware version
1.4x and lower, only the most recently
recorded clip may be deleted. With firmware
version 1.5 and higher, any clip may be
selected and deleted.
e) Only files which can be overwritten by
XDCAM
f) With firmware version 1.5 and higher, when
the “C*” part of a C*.MXF file name is
changed, a C*M01.XML with the same name
in the “C*” part is also changed automatically.
g) When a C*.MXF file is created, a
C*M01.XML file with the same name in the
“C*” part is created automatically.
h) When a C*.MXF file is deleted, the
C*M01.XML file with the same name in the
“C*” part is also deleted automatically.
• Directories cannot be created in the Clip
directory.
• When the following operations,
supported by version 1.5 and higher
XDCAM devices, are carried out on a
disc, then it becomes impossible for
version 1.4x and lower XDCAM devices
to record new clips or delete existing
clips on that disc. (The only possible
operations are playback and disc
formatting.)
- Writing of clips with user-defined
names
- Locking of clips
- Deletion of clips (except the last
recorded clip)
• If you attempt to write a C*.MXF file
which does not meet the conditions
specified as remark c) on this table via a
FAM connection, a Windows error
message appears to the effect that the file
or directory is corrupt and cannot be read.
