Chapter 4 Shooting

There are three ways to load files.

• Automatically load a file that has been written

to the following directory on a Professional

Disc via an FTP or FAM connection.

If you do not want to load a file automatically,

add a “load” property to the PlanningMetadata

tag and set the value of the property to “false”,

as shown in the shaded part of the following

example.

Example: <PlanningMetadata …

version="1.00">

• Use a GUI screen to load a file that has been

written to the following directories on a

Professional Disc or a USB flash drive (see

page 140).

• Use a web browser to load a planning metadata

file (see page 144). (You must install the

CBKZ-UPG01 Software Upgrade Key.)

File creation rules

a) The General/Sony/Planning directory is generated

automatically when you format a disc.

Note

Do not save more than 100 planning metadata files in the

above save locations. The unit may fail to load the files

correctly if more than 100 are saved.

For greater convenience in planning metadata

operations, you can use the optional CBK-WA01 Wi-

Fi adapter and the supplied Sony Planning Metadata

Add-in application software. For details, refer to the

operation manual of the CBK-WA01 Wi-Fi adapter.

To set clip names by using planning

metadata

The following two types of clip name strings can

be written in a planning metadata file.

• The ASCII format name that appears in the

viewfinder

• The UTF-8 format name that is actually

registered as the clip name

1) It is also possible to display the UTF-8 format name,

or no name (see page 141).

2) When no UTF-8 format name string is specified, the

ASCII format name string is registered as the actual

clip name.

Clip name string format

In a text editor, modify the two fields in the

<Title> tag that contain the clip name strings (the

shaded fields in the example below).

Enter a name in the first field in ASCII format (up

to 52 characters), and enter another name in the

second field in UTF-8 format (up to 52 bytes).

Notes

• When you create a file, enter each statement as a single

line with a CRLF only after the last character in the

statement line, and do not enter spaces except where

specified.

• If the UTF-8 format string is longer than 52 characters,

the ASCII format string is used as the clip name string.

Setting clip names

1 Load a planning metadata file

containing clip names into the unit’s

memory (see page 140 and page 144).

2 Carry out steps 2 to 5 of “To assign clip

names on this unit” (page 101).

3 Turn the MENU knob to display

“PLAN”, and then press the MENU

knob.

Each time that you start recording, the unit

automatically creates clip names using the
