Atomos Ninja-2 – User Manual Edition 1: November 2012 20
Organising material on the disk
Ninja-2 uses a XQLWQDPH VFHQH VKRW and WDNH naming
convention:
1,1-$B6B6B7
This was recorded on a 1LQMD XQLW called 1,1-$, the VFHQH
selected was 1, the VKRW selected was 1 and it was WDNH 1.
Below is an example of your playback browser window showing file
names.
To organise your clips you need to access the Scene & Shot. To navigate
press 0HQX on the main screen and then press 6FHQH 6KRW on the
menu screen.
You c an s ee alo ng t he to p y ou h av e
VFHQH and 6KRW with a large
underlined number, this is the current selection.
To ch an ge th em pre ss
VFHQH or VKRW (depending on the one you wish
to change) then the number you wish it to set as. In each selection this
goes up to 999.
Once selected you will see the underlined number at the top will have
changed. You can now go back to the Main screen and start your record.
If you do not set this up Ninja-2 will start recording from
Scene 1 and Shot 1 automatically.
The Ninja-2 uses the exFAT file system. This is recognised
natively by both PCs and Macs, without any need to install
driver software. It is a 64-bit file system that will let you record
to the full capacity of your storage medium without any need to
“segment” the files. The maximum file size is so large that you
do never need to worry about exceeding it.
For Windows XP, service pack 3 and a special exFAT patch
are required. Both are available on the Microsoft
®
website.
