Syncro Slave
The FS-2E and the FS-2 (with the 2.0 upgrade), has
two settings in Syncro Slave:
NEW FILE - When using this setting
(the default), and the FS-2E is
triggered to stop recording from the
camcorder, the current file is closed
and a new file is opened ready for the
next recording.
SAME FILE - This option appends the
new recording onto the same file. This
significantly cuts down on the number
of files created and is ideal for many
applications.
In SYNCRO SLAVE mode, a camcorder and the
FS-2/2E share the same record function and the
FS-2/2E is slaved to the camcorder. Once it is set
and you exit the CONTROL MENU, they return to
the default menu screen. The FS-2/2E also
immediately enters REC PAUSE mode and a “Y”
appears next to the record symbol on the FS-2/2E
interface.
All recording is controlled by the camcorder
exclusively. Every time you press the camcorder’s
REC button, the FS-2/2E goes into the selected
RECORD MODE. Each time you start recording on
your camcorder, a new track is created on disk.
When used with RETRO DISK or RETRO CACHE
functions, as soon as SYNCRO SLAVE is set, the
camcorder begins filling up the selected retro
record buffer. Press the REC button on the
camcorder and the contents of the retro buffer are
appended to the start of your clip.
The FS-2/2E buttons (other than MENU) are locked
out when in this mode. It is also not possible to use
the optional FS-2/2E remote control units. You must
exit SYNCRO SLAVE by entering the CONTROL
MENU by pressing the MENU button when on the
FS-2/2E main menu. If the camcorder is set to VTR
mode, the FS-2/2E’s control panel becomes active
in order to allow playback.
If a tape ends while using SYNCRO SLAVE mode,
the FS-2/2E continues to record.
At this point, to STOP a recording, push the FS-2/
2E STOP button twice.

contents of the disk (all clips) in order from start to

without a pause. It plays these clips until stopped.
