FS-2/2E FUNCTIONS
The FS-2/2E has a menu item that allows the
FS-2/2E to appear to external controllers as a Sony
BVW-75 BetaSP VTR when in Remote RS422
mode. It also has a generic RS422 mode.
In remote, you can also slave an FS-2/2E to another
device (such as a Betacam or other non-DV deck)
using the RS422 port.
NOTE: Not all controllable functions of a BVW-75
are available on the FS-2/2E. This mode is only for
greater compatibility with existing control systems.
(Refer to “Supported RS422 Commands” on
page 4-3 for a listing of RS422 supported
commands.
AV/C
Use these settings in PLAYBACK and other
situations where the FS-2/2E is controlled by an
external FireWire device (such as a DV NLE
system).
There three options in this sub-menu:
Normal Mode - This is the default
setting. In this mode, recordings are
captured to a single base file until
STOP is triggered, or the nine minute
file size limit is reached.
Index at TC - In this mode, recordings
are continuous until a break in the
incoming timecode stream is detected.
At that time, a new file is automatically
created. No frames are lost during the
transition to a new clip.
Index at Scene - In this mode,
recordings are continuous until a
scene break is detected in the
incoming video stream. At that time, a
new file is automatically created within
one second of the scene change. No
frames are lost during the transition to
a new clip. Refer to the note under
Local mode regarding index markers.
NOTE: AV/C does not function completely with all
NLE systems. Contact Focus Enhancements
technical support for more information.
