the button is released. The SHIFT mode of
particular keys is listed below that key or displayed
on the FS-2/2E LCD.
Back Search Key
Press the Back Search button to allow video to be
played at different speeds (both slower and faster
than real-time). Refer to the note under “Forward
Search Key” for more information.
Forward Search Key
Press the Forward Search button to play video at
different speeds (both slower and faster than real-
time).
NOTE: Pressing the FF Search button multiple
times results in increases in the search speed. This
mode is bidirectional in forward X times normal
search speed. Press the Back Search button to
cause the FF speed to slow down by one step.
For instance, if you are in 10X FF speed and you
press the Back Search button once, you are in 2X
FF mode. This also applies to backward search
speeds. The default speed resolution is as follows
(NTSC and PAL have slightly different multiples for
both greater and less than 1X play speed):
REVERSE: -30X, -10X, -2X, -1X
(reverse play), -1/2X(-15fps), Still.
FORWARD: Still, +1/2X (+15fps), +1X
(play), +2X, +10X, +30X
Standard Forward Search and Reverse Search
also have a “higher resolution” mode where more
speeds are available as follows:
REVERSE: -30X, -25X, -18X, -15X, -
12X, -10X, -8X, -5X, -4X, -3X, -2X,
-1/30, -1/15, -1/10, -1/6, -1/5, -1/3,-1/2
FORWARD: +30X, +25X, +18X, +15X,
+12X, +10X, +8X, +5X, +4X, +3X,
+2X, +1/30, +1/15, +1/10, +1/6, +1/5,
+1/3, +1/2
This mode can be set in the SETUP->FF / RW HI
RES menu in the FS-2/2E Setup Menu. Once set,
these speed resolutions become the default when
you press Fast Backward or Fast Forward.
LCD Display
The FS-2/2E LCD screen displays different
FS-2/2E modes and states. On boot up, the
FS-2/2E displays the following screen:
Depending on the connected disk drive, the
FS-2/2E may or may not display “Please Wait”
during boot up.
Once booted, if no disk drive is connected to the
FS-2/2E (either through the internal slot or
externally using the HDD I/O port), the following
screen appears:
Insert a drive into the front panel drive bay or
connect a FireWire disk drive to the HDD I/O port.
If you received a drive from Focus Enhancements,
it should be configured and ready to use. If the
message “No Disk Detected” appears, make sure
the drive is inserted properly.
If the message “No Format Detected” appears, you
must partition and format the inserted drive before
use. The FS-2/2E prompts you through the steps
required to perform a format.
WARNING: Formatting and partitioning erases all
data on a disk!
