Syncro Slave
The FS-2E and the FS-2 (with the 2.0 upgrade), has two settings in
Syncro Slave:
•
NEW FILE
- default - This setting, 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.
