Using the FS-2/2E
How to Mark Scenes
The FS-2/2E Scene Marking feature allows you to
mark clips for placement in particular folders during
recording, playback or stop mode.
When a drive is formatted using FireStore, ten
folders are created numbered 0 through 9. After the
drive is formatted on FireStore, you can connect the
hard-disk drive to a computer and give each of
these folders a custom name (if you need help
mounting your FireWire hard-disk drive to your
computer system, refer to “How to Put Recorded
Clips on a Computer System” on page 2-2. To
rename each folder, click on the folder name until it
is highlighted, then type in the desired name of the
folder.
NOTE: Folder names cannot exceed eleven
characters.
Folders are ordered on FireStore in numerical
followed by alphabetical order. For instance, if
folders are named “Scene 1”, “Scene 2” and
“Auditions”, they appear on FireStore as “1
Auditions”, “2 Scene 1” and 2 Scene 2”. The folder
number is added in front of the folder name on the
FS-2/2E LCD display for easy identification when
using the optional remote control commander
keypads.
To create a custom order to Folders, Focus
Enhancements recommended that you change the
name to change the numerical/alphabetical order.
For example place numbers at the beginning of the
folder name to determine the key to folder
assignments.
