PIXNET Unit Page Metadata View
To show the Metadata View, click the Arrow button located on far end of the Metadata bar, which
acts as a toggle that expands or contracts the view for the previous, current, and next takes.
While metadata is visible, you can still scroll down to see the tabs—Clips, File Storage, Video, etc. While
you may click any of the tabs to open them and view the data associated with the tabs, the Metadata View
and the Clips data cannot be viewed simultaneously. If the Metadata View is expanded, clicking on the
Clips tab will contract the Metadata View and display clip information.
From this expanded view, you may edit the metadata—Scene, Take, Circled, and Notes—for the pre-
vious, current, and next takes. Changes made to the Notes field for the next take, however, will only
apply to the very next recording. It is not retained for subsequent recordings after that one.
PIXNET Unit Page Main View and Menu Tabs
The Unit Page can display many different menus. The menus are accessed by clicking on the tabs of
the Unit Page.
Not all PIX 270i menu items or features are available from PIXNET.
Main View
The Main View is always the first to appear when a Unit Page is open and is displayed whenever no
other tab is selected. The contents of this view are covered in detail in PIXNET Unit Page.
Clips Menu
The Clips Menu is the PIXNET version of the 270i File List. From the Clips Menu, select a drive. The
currently selected drive contents are displayed. Reel, File name and location, creation date, and file
size are all displayed.
Click on the Play icon next to a file name to playback the file.
Click the Gear icon to edit the next take’s scene, take, and notes metadata, or click the Pencil icon to
edit the current or previous take’s scene, take, notes, and circled status.
Click the Circled I icon to view QuickTime file details, including the start timecode stamp, timecode
frames per second, user bits, duration, codec, and audio formats.
