About the Tape Name
Some media file formats have provisions on how to determine the tape name. For those that do not, MediaHub
derives the Tape name from the file name. Here are the various formats rules. You can override these rules
by specifying your own method in MediaHub, Format Specific Options ➤ Metadata ➤ Tape Name
box.
Audio Files:
■ Wave, AIFF, MP3, etc.: Uses the filename.
File Sequence:
■ DPX: Uses the information stored in the file header (the Input Device data is used); falls back to filename
if the header contains no tape name.
■ OpenEXR: Uses the name of the directory where the OpenEXR is stored.
■ ARRIRAW: Uses the information stored in the file header; falls back to filename if the header contains
no tape name.
■ Image Sequence (TIFF, TGA, JPEG, HDR, PNG, etc.): Uses the Tape Name entered in Format Specific
Options ➤ Metadata ➤ Tape Name field.
■ PSD: Uses the filename.
Movie Files:
■ MTS (AVCHD): Uses the filename.
■ REDCode (R3D): Uses the information stored in the file header.
■ Canon (MXF): Uses the filename.
■ Panasonic (MXF): Uses the name of the essence.
■ Sony XDCAM EX (MP4): Uses the name of the essence.
In case of spanned clips, set Format Specific Options ➤ Metadata ➤ Tape Name box to Tape
Name from File Name. Leaving it to the default setting of Tape Name from Essence will actually use the
name of the span segment for tape name.
■ Sony RAW/SStP/XAVC (MXF): Uses the name of the essence.
The tape name is derived from the MXF Source Package that is presented as <TAPE>; falls back to the
filename if empty.
■ MP4/MXF/QuickTime: Uses information stored in the file heade; falls back to filename if the header
contains no tape name.
