CLIPSTER I/O Tool User Guide
With the items in the area Further options you can turn on or off the
consecutive numbering of the I/O Tool (see section “Storage Informa-
tion” on page 5-9). The setting Automatic numbering of clips if clip
name already exists activates the adding of a consecutive number to
the clip name. When one of the other settings is activated, every record
will start with 000/---, meaning no numbering will be added to the
name of the clip. As a consequence this may overwrite clips already
present on the storage if their names are identical. By choosing be-
tween the other two settings you can activate/deactivate the notifica-
tion of the software that a clip with the same name already exists.
A preview of the file names of the clip can be seen in the area Preview.
For example, when as a clip name prefix scene01 is entered and as the
file extension _<Date>_<Video format>_<Color space> is
specified with a 5-digit numbering, you may receive an output like the
following:
Start index/time-
code
When Frame number or Internal TC is se-
lected in the combo box above, you can enter
in this field the starting point for the number-
ing, i.e. with it you can offset the frame number
in the file names of the image files to be record-
ed. It can be entered either in frames or time-
code notation depending on the setting
selected in the combo box File number will
be.
Minimum number
of digits
With these radio buttons you can determine
the minimum amount of digits that the num-
bering should provide. Either you let the DVS
software decide how many digits the file num-
bering should have (auto) or you set it manu-
ally with the entry field to the right.
If a value is set that is smaller than the
minimum number of digits required
for the currently set record, the DVS
software will apply this value but the
amount of digits will adapt during the
operation automatically, meaning dig-
its will be added when required. This
may lead to problems during the rec-
ognition of the video material later.
