2.5.4.3 Retro Cache

RETRO CACHE Record constantly caches your video in a loop up

to a 10 second data buffer. In this way, when the record is begun, a

retro time period is added to the beginning of any clip.

Pressing the

REC key when in RETRO CACHE mode puts the FS-

2/2E into a RETRO CACHE state (the tally light on the FS-2/2E

flashes as if in PAUSE state). The FS-2/2E is actually recording in

this state, but until you press the

REC key a second time, the video

records over itself in a continuous loop. It is much the same as

RETRO DISK recording, except that it utilizes a data buffer

separate to the disk drive to cache video.

RETRO CACHE is also accurate down to the frame instead of the

1 minute clips used in RETRO DISK. Once a RETRO CACHE

value is set, pressing the

REC key once puts the FS-2/2E

immediately into

RETRO CACHE Record. A C now appears next to

the record symbol on the FS-2/2E's display.

Video is being recorded to the FS-2/2E cache. The REC button

flashes (as if the unit is in pause). When you press the

REC key,

the FS-2/2E exits the

RETRO CACHE Record mode and goes into

standard record (the

C on the display disappears).

Any clip recorded in this mode has the contents of the cache

added to the beginning of the clip.

Once paused, the unit returns to the RETRO CACHE record mode

again (the

C reappears in the LCD) for further RETRO CACHE

recordings or until it is disabled in the RETRO CACHE by setting

the RETRO CACHE time to zero seconds.

RETRO CACHE record can be used in LOCAL and SYNCRO

SLAVE record control modes.

2.5.4.4 Loop Record

When LOOP RECORD is selected after recording has begun,

video is recorded to available disk space. Clips are recorded to

disk continuously in one-minute clips (up to 60 minutes), or 9

minute clips (for loops over 60 minutes, 2GB files).
