There are two ways to connect a remote computer. • FAM connection Connect the (i.LINK) S400 connector on this unit to the i.LINK (IEEE1394) connector on the remote computer, using an i.LINK cable (see page 28).
PAGE 75
File operation restrictions This section explains which operations are possible on files stored in each directory. When required, the following operation tables distinguish reading and writing from partial reading and writing. Read: Read data sequentially from the start to the end of the file. Partial read: Read only a part of the data in the file. Write: Write data sequentially from the start to the end of the file. Partial write: Write data to a part of the file only.
PAGE 76
Note Directories cannot be created in the Clip directory. Edit directory File name Content Operations Read/Partial read Write/Partial write Rename E*E01.SMI a) Clip list file *: 0001 to 0099 Yes Yes b) Create Yes Yes c) Delete Yes d) E*M01.XML a) Metadata file generated Yes automatically when E*E01.SMI file is created. *: 0001 to 0099 Yes b) No e) No f) No g) Other files Files other than the above No – No – – a) The “E*” part can be changed to a user-defined name.

• File names and directory names can use letters, numbers, and symbols from the Unicode 2.0 (UTF-8) character set. However, the following control characters and symbols 1) cannot be used. - Control characters: U+0000 to U+001F, U+007F - Symbols: ", *, /, :, <, >, ?, \, | 3 Turn the PUSH SET(S.SEL) knob to select “on”, and press the knob. The clip title naming screen appears. RETURN SELECT 1) The following character codes cannot be used by FAM connections.
PAGE 78
The title of the selected clip appears at the upper left of the screen. See “Thumbnail Operations” (page 59) for more information about the thumbnail screen. • The following names should be avoided. - Clips: C5000.MXF to C9999.MXF - Clip lists: E0001.SMI to E0099.SMI To assign clip names on this unit The title assigned to clip becomes its clip name (file name). Notes • The value of the serial number is incremented by 1 every time a title is generated.

Check that a drive letter has been assigned to this unit. (The drive letter will differ depending on the number of other peripherals connected to the remote computer.) 2 Use Explorer to perform file operations on the disc loaded in this unit. You can operate in the same way that you operate on local drives and files on network computers. Notes • If you power this unit off during an FAM connection, the data transferred thus far is discarded. • All file operations are not possible for some types of files.

NOOP Does nothing except return a response. (Used to check whether this unit is running.) Command syntax: NOOP Note In the Command syntax, means a space, entered by pressing the space bar, and means a new line, entered by pressing the Enter key. PWD SITE REPF Displays the current directory (“/” if the directory is the root directory). Sends an MXF file from the specified path on this unit to the remote computer.
PAGE 88
One of the following status codes is sent. - 777: Allow writing to and execution of the file. • 0: Initial state, or no disc is loaded. • 1: File system mount is OK. • 3: File system mount is not OK. Command syntax: SITE FSTS SITE MEID Acquires the media ID of the disc loaded in this unit. Command syntax: SITE MEID SITE FUNC Acquires the function and version of the extended commands. Information is sent in the following format.
PAGE 89
Recording Continuous Timecode With FAM and FTP Connections When you are connected to the unit by FAM or FTP, you can create new clips with timecode that is continuous with the timecode of the last frame of the last clip on the disc. To record continuous timecode, set TCG on page P4 TC of the function menu to “INT”, and set PRST/RGN to “TC”. Then proceed as follows. Note Continuous timecode cannot be recorded if PRST/RGN on page P4 TC of the function menu is set to “VITC”.

Using PDZ-1 Proxy Browsing Software When a computer with the PDZ-1 Proxy Browsing Software installed is connected to this unit, you can transfer the proxy AV data and metadata files recorded on a disc to the computer. On the computer side, PDZ-1 enables you to browse the proxy AV data, add or modify metadata (titles, comments, essence marks, etc.), or create a clip list. The modified metadata and the created clip list can then be written back to the disc loaded in this unit.

Using UMID Data Metadata is additional information recorded on discs along with audio-visual data. It is used to bring greater efficiency to the flow of operations from material acquisition through editing, and to make it easier to find and reuse material. As one of application of metadata, the UMID has been internationally standardized. What is a UMID? A UMID (Unique Material Identifier) is a unique identifier for audio-visual material defined by the SMPTE-330M-2003 standard.
PAGE 128
• Recording with UTC time. UTC (coordinated universal time) is used when recording the UMID. Use of a universal time system enables uniform management of source material recorded all over the world. • Calculation of date differences. Source material is recorded using modified Julian dates (MJD), which enables easy calculation of date differences between different source material items. Setting UMID ownership information Proceed as follows. 1 Set setup menu item 029 STORE OWNER to “on” (see page 93).
