Creating Files (under Superuser Privilege)
Automatically Creating Files from
Tape or Memory Label Information
MXF files can be automatically created from information
recorded in the timecode (LTC) (rec start mark, a shot
mark, a post mark) or information recorded on memory
labels (rec start mark, shot mark, cue point, IN/OUT
points).
In the case of files created from tape information, the data
between marks is treated as a real file. In the case of files
created from memory labels information, data between
marks is treated as a temporary file.
When a file is created from the information on the memory
label, data between the marks is treated as a temporary file.
Do the procedure below to enable automatic file creation.
1
Right-click in an empty area in the file list and select
Create File List from the popup menu.
The Create File List window appears.
2
Select the source (Tape or Tele-File) for which files
will be automatically created.
The information recorded on the tape or Tele-File
(memory label) is displayed.
3
Select the information for which files will be
automatically created.
When Tape is selected
The following items can be selected:
• Rec Start Mark
• Shot Mark1
• Shot Mark2
•Post Mark
When Tele-File is selected
The following items can be selected:
• Rec Start Mark
•Cue Point

To prevent the misreading of timecodes at the
boundary between recorded items, the recording of
timecodes for the start and end of each file is delayed
by 2 frames.
Backing Up the Menu Settings

another e-VTR.

and then click on the OK button.
Saving the Files with a Different
Name
Copies of MXF files in the e-VTR can be saved with a
different name. This function is convenient for making
backup files and when editing the top or end position of a
file.
