Chapter 4, Using the VS4Recorder Pro Application
File naming based on recording session
As captured video files are created and saved, a naming convention is applied.
Although the naming convention follows a specific order, the file naming
convention differs based on the recording configuration:
• Multi-Cam mode
\sessionname_date_time\filename_sessionname_machinename _InputIndex
_index.fileextension
• Independent mode
\date_time_input\filename_machinename.fileextension
• VS4Control:
$ Master machine:
\sessionname_date_time\filename_sessionname_machinename_mx
_InputIndex_index.fileextension
$ Slave machine:
\sessionname_date_time\filename_sessionname_machinename_mx_sx
_InputIndex_index.fileextension
Remarks
• mx: Masterindex
• sx: Slaveindex
• InputIndex: The SDI input on the VS4
The index is incremented when an input is stopped and/or started during a capture
session.
Labels
In addition to filenames, you can also give a descriptive label to each source. For
example, you can label source 1 as Camera 1. VS4Recorder Pro can be set to
display the source labels in the respective source windows (see “Label and
filename overlay” on page 57), and the label information is embedded in every
recorded video file as XMP metadata for use in Adobe Premiere Pro CC and CS6
(see “Viewing VS4Recorder Pro metadata in Adobe Premiere Pro” on page 60).
¥Tip Even if a source is currently recording, you can set up the next recording
for that source by changing the source
Label and Filename in the Settings
window. The current filename and label settings apply to the source’s next
recording. Once a source recording has started, you can change these settings
without affecting the current recording.
