AV/C

Use AV/C in playback mode and other situations

where the FS-4 HD is controlled by an external FireWire

device such as a NLE system that is not supported by

Direct To Edit Technology. In these cases, the FS-4 HD

can be used in a manner similar to a camcorder to

capture footage to the NLE.

In AV/C control mode the

TC

value reported to the controller

or NLE is the value displayed on the Main menu. Pressing

the

DISP

changes the source of the TC. The DISP TC mode

selects the TC embedded in the DV/MPEG-2 stream. When

in HD RECORDER mode, and the QUICKTIME HD

FORMAT is selected, the type of timecode reported is

defined by the HDV TC TYPE setting, refer to

HDV TC TYPE

on page 70.

Syncro Slave

In Syncro Slave mode, a camcorder and the FS-4 HD

follows the camcorder’s record state. It requires a tape

to be in the camcorder. To use this mode, refer to the

section,

Syncro Slave Recording

on page 30.

Do Not Use AV/C control in Record Mode

Using Absolute (ABS) Display Mode
It is recommended that when operating in AV/C mode, the reported
timecode source be changed to Absolute (ABS). This is done through
the LCD DISP mode information fields, see

DISP (display)
