Sending/receiving XDCAM EX sources to/from your T2 via FTP
FTP can be used to connect to your T2 from other devices or edit terminals etc. to
upload and download sources. The procedure for sending/receiving XDCAM EX
sources to/from your T2 via FTP is the same as for sending/receiving XDCAM
sources to/from your T2 via FTP. For more information, see "Sending/receiving
XDCAM sources to/from your T2 via FTP" on page 20 .
CAUTION: When you upload/download XDCAM EX sources to/from your T2 via
FTP, only single files (*.mp4, *.avi) in the XDCAM EX format can be uploaded/
downloaded.
CAUTION: If the post-import file type is set to "AVI (HQ)" in the MXF import
settings when you upload an XDCAM EX source to your T2 via FTP, an XDCAM
EX source is converted to Grass Valley HQ AVI after the upload.
CAUTION: If you want to use Chinese for file names, you must set the character set
of file names to UTF-8 on the FTP client side beforehand. Correct file names cannot
be displayed if the character sets do not match. The configuration method depends
on your software. Refer to the help etc. of your software.
Exporting a file in the XDCAM EX format
Clips imported as the original XDCAM EX format can be exported as the XDCAM
EX format.
For important notes on exporting, see "Important notes on T2 export" on page 112 .
CAUTION: Importing an XDCAM EX source in the native format will copy all of
the files that are located directly under the root folder as well as the CLPR and TAKR
folders to your T2. As for files in each folder, only the files that are related to the
selected file for the import will be copied. If a clip imported in the native format is
exported without conversion, the exported clip may not be properly handled by a
device that uses any file or folder that was not copied to your T2 during the import.
