EVS IPDirector Version 6.0 - November 2012 Part 1 User's Manual - Manual (Page 40)

User Fields
Up to 10 user fields can be used in the clip name, provided that a metadata profile has
been assigned to the clip and that the selected user field number exist in the profile and
has got a value.
For example, if %UF3 is used in the clip format string, the value entered in the third user
field from the profile will be used in the clip name. This could be text, timecode or date.
Keywords
Up to 5 keywords can be used in the clip name, provided that the corresponding keyword
number has been assigned to the clip.
For example, if %K2 is used in the clip format string, the second keyword assigned to the
clip will be used in the clip name.
Ganged Recorders
When clips are created from ganged recorders, the value used for some of the format
string options in the clip names may be different between linked clips.
These format string options are:
%COUNTER, %XTNAME, %XTNB and %CAMLBL.
For example, clips saved from 3 ganged recorders of a server can be distinguished one
from each other by using the recorder name specific to each linked clip (%CAMLBL) in
their name: CamA, CamB, CamC.
Clip Name Prefix – Format String
If the Save Clip window or the New Ingest window are displayed at clip or ingest creation,
the format string defined in the Clip Name Prefix - Format String field is automatically
added as a prefix to the clip / ingest name.
If this field is left empty, the users will have the possibility to enter a name of their choice
at clip creation.
The possible format string options are the same as for the clip name.
Double-clicking an item appends it to the format string.
The use of format string options related to user fields or keywords or specific to ganged
recorders is the same for prefix as for auto-names.
Clip Name Counter Value
In the Clip Name and Clip Name Prefix format strings, the user has the possibility to insert
an integer counter (%COUNTER). This setting allows the user to view or edit the next
value of the counter, e.g. if 001 is entered in the field, the next counter value will be 001.
