DCR 4000 User’s Guide | Metadata 4-3
When a Take is selected it can be viewed using the PDA as a remote control to PLAY and
STOP that Take provided the Venom is currently in Ready mode, and not already playing or
recording.
Also in the FP commands window, Sync.Time sends the current time from the PDA to
synchronize the internal clock on Venom.
The Metadata window gives access to existing Metadata and allows entry and transmission of
new Metadata.
After a TAKE has been selected [Recv] will download existing Metadata from that Take on the
FlashPak. This will be shown in a tree structure in the main Metadata window.
Existing data can be opened for editing by selecting [Edit MD]. By using this function,
Metadata from one take can be used as a basis for the information needed on the next take,
e.g. taking the data from Take 1 and just changing it to Take 2 may be sufficient for a repeat
shot.
The [Open] command opens Metadata files stored on the PDA for editing.
