Clip metadata
You can add the video and audio systems, name
of the videographer, shooting location, text memos
and other information to the video data you have
recorded on the P2 card. This data is called the clip
metadata. (Display method: Page 68)
There are two kinds of clip metadata: the data that
is recorded automatically during shooting, and the
data in the metadata upload file created on the SD
memory card which is loaded in the unit. (Loading
method: Page 71)
Creating the metadata upload file on the SD
memory card
You will need the latest updated version of P2
Viewer. Download it from the URL address given
below, and install it in the computer.
