FS-2/2E Functions

This submenu contains the following selections:

•

EXT TC - Whatever the incoming timecode, the FS-2/2E

records it. You can select between

SELECTED INPUT and LTC.

Select the desired TC source:

• Choosing EXT TC mode will clear any stored timecode

value.

•

REC RUN - In this mode, the FS-2/2E does the following:

•1 Uses the last timecode number recorded + 1 as the

timecode number for the first frame of the next record-

ing.

•2 Uses the number entered by a setting in the TC PRE-

SET menu for the first frame of the next recording.

• The last number used is stored in the memory, so this

mode persists across recording sessions.

•

REGEN - After a disk is mounted (at startup, upon manual

connect) and after the track list has been constructed, the FS-

2/2E looks at the last track and looks at the timecode number

of the last frame in that track. The FS-2/2E stores that

number for use as the TC value (+ 1) for the first frame of the

next recording. If the drive is empty, the FS-2/2E uses the TC

PRESET(+ 1).

•

FREE RUN - When you enable FREE RUN mode, the FS-2/2E

begins counting from the value stored. If you use the TC

PRESET function, when the number is entered and the TC

PRESET menu is exited, the FS-2/2E begins counting from

that value.

Once a timecode value is set and the FS-2/2E is set to REC RUN or

FREE RUN timecode settings, the TC preset value becomes the

starting point for timecode.

If the FS-2/2E is set to EXT TC when in SYNCRO SLAVE mode,

EXT TC stops once the tape in the camcorder ends. Focus

Enhancements suggests that you use a different TC mode when

using SYNCRO SLAVE. NOTE: TC Preset cannot be changed

while in the EXT TC mode.
