UMID on tape at every scene change. By adding UMID information during the acquisition process, future benefits such as easy search of material during editing, and archive can be realised. Sony supports UMID as well as Extended UMID** for further operational convenience. UMID is standardised as SMPTE 330M Extended UMID adds Signature Meta-data, time, positioning, and user information to the Basic UMID.
™ Tele-File System The Sony Tele-File system stores and recalls various types of production data, such as shot data and shot marks, onto and from an optional cassette label with a built-in memory IC.
