PRE-REC Disk Record Mode
The PRE-REC Disk mode records video in a continuous loop to a
user-defined portion of disk space. Pressing
Record
seamlessly
begins active recording. The PRE-REC Disk session is appended to
the beginning of the new clip. The result is a set of clips beginning
with the cached video and continuing with the newly recorded
video.
• When calculating the amount of hard disk space needed for a
PRE-REC Disk record session, always include additional
space beyond the recording requirements. The added space
depends on the length of the loop.
Loops less than 60 minutes
in need an additional 1 minute
of unused disk space.
Loops 60 minutes and greater
require an additional 2GB of
unused disk space.
• When looping less than one hour PRE-REC Disk records the
loop in a series of 1 minute clips.
• Otherwise, the FS-100 creates:
DVCPRO/DV
: 9 minute, 13 second clips (2GB clips on disk),
DVCPRO 50
: 4 minute, 36 second clips (2GB clips on disk),
DVCPRO HD
: 2 minute, 18 second clips (2GB on disk),
• PRE-REC Disk is available in
Local
,
Syncro Slave
, and
Tapeless
control modes.
• When PRE-REC Disk is set, the symbols
P
(Record and P)
appear in the FS-100 display.
