• The new converted clips will be saved in the same bin as their original ones.
CAUTION: By default, the system will pause any transfer and conversion during a
recording or playback. If you want to change the setting to allow transfer and
conversion to be performed even during a recording or playback, click Config. and
then click Common in the "Transfer" tree. Unchecking Pause file transfers while

operations may not be performed normally, therefore, we recommend that you use
the system with this option checked.
Sending/receiving GF sources to/from your T2 via FTP
You can use FTP to upload and download sources to/from your T2 connected with
other devices or edit terminals etc. The procedure for sending/receiving GF 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 GF sources to/from your T2 via FTP, only
MXF single files in GF 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 a GF source to your T2 via FTP, the GF source is
converted to Grass Valley HQ AVI after the upload.
CAUTION: If you want to use Chinese characters 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 GF format
Clips imported as the original GF format can be exported as the GF format.
For important notes on exporting, see "Important notes on T2 export" on page 112 .
CAUTION: Importing a GF source in the native format will copy all of the files that
are located directly under the root folder as well as the Bin and PLAYLIST 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.
1. Display the clips in the Bin tab.
