Organising material on the disk
Samurai uses a unitname, scene, shot and take naming
convention:
SAMMI_S001_S001_T001
This was recorded on a Samurai unit called SAMMI, the scene
selected was 1, the shot selected was 1 and it was take 1.
Below is an example of your playback browser window showing file
names.
To organise your clips you need to access the Scene & Shot. To navigate
press Menu on the main screen and then press Scene & Shot on the
menu screen.
You can see along the top you have
scene and Shot with a large
underlined number, this is the current selection.
To change them press
scene or shot (depending on the one you wish
to change) then the number you wish it to set as. In each selection this
goes up to 999.
Once selected you will see the underlined number at the top will have
changed. You can now go back to the Main screen and start your record.
If you do not set this up Samurai will start recording from
Scene 1 and Shot 1 automatically.
The Samurai uses the exFAT file system. This is recognised
natively by both PCs and Macs, without any need to install
driver software. It is a 64-bit file system that will let you record
to the full capacity of your storage medium without any need to
“segment” the files. The maximum file size is so large that you
do never need to worry about exceeding it.
For Windows XP, service pack 3 and a special exFAT patch
are required. Both are available on the Microsoft
®
website.
