XFile Version 2.19 – User Manual
EVS Broadcast Equipment – November 2012
Issue 2.19.A
101
Media File Settings
Filename Format String
The following filename is assigned by default to the media file including the playlist A/V
material:
EVS XFILE_<
clip name>_<creation date>.<file format extension>
The name of the media file is user-defined and can be modified as described in section
‘How to Modify the Default Filename Format String’, on page 29.
The user can reset the default filename by clicking the Reset button.
Output Mode
The output mode drop-down list box allows the user to specify to which file format the
backup playlist should be exported or the rendered playlist should be backed up.
Three output modes are currently available:
• EVSMXF 2MB (.mxf)
• MXF OP1a (.mxf)
• QT (.mov)
Metadata File Settings
Always Generate EVS.XML
If you tick this check box, an EVS.XML file will always be created when the backup
playlist is exported to a file or when the server playlist is backed up into a file.
