Assigning Clip Titles
When the setup menu item OPERATIONAL FUNCTION
>CLIP TITLE >AUTO TITLE is set to “ENABLE”, titles
are displayed instead of clip numbers for all clips recorded
after the setting is made.
Titles are made up of a prefix of up to 10 characters and a
5-digit number. The factory default prefix is “TITLE”, and
the initial value of the number is 00001. Therefore, the title
of the first clip created with the “ENABLE” setting is
“TITLE00001”. The number is incremented for each
subsequent clip.
See “System Menu” (page 77) in Chapter 6 for more
information about the setup menu.
To switch to clip number display
Set CLIP TITLE >AUTO TITLE to “DISABLE”.
Clip numbers are displayed for all clips recorded after the
setting is made.
Titles are displayed instead of clip numbers for clips that
have titles.
Use the CLIP STATUS screen of the disc menu (see
page 89) if you want to check the clip number of a clip
that has a title.
To assign clip titles
You can set the clip title prefix and the initial clip title
number to arbitrary values.
For example, if you set the prefix to “SCENE” and the
initial number to 00100, the next clip to be created will
have the title “SCENE-00100”.
