characters.

A prefix name can be defined in Tools > Settings > Autoname/Clip.

VarID

VarID is a 32-character ID with variable length and format. It is
automatically assigned to new clip. It is mainly used to ensure
redundancy on the system. It can be unique for a clip on the EVS server

settings.

This numbering is based on the numbering of the LSM operational mode.

EVS server automatically assigns a UmID to each new clip. It is used for
