Syncro Slave

Use this mode when the camcorder does not have FS-C

compatible external control or the tapeless trigger

functionality. In

Syncro Slave

control mode, the

FS-C mimics the camcorder’s operations by monitoring

the camcorder’s tape record state.

AV/C

Use AV/C in playback mode and other situations

where the FS-C 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-C can

be used in a manner similar to a camcorder to capture

footage to the NLE.

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 74.

Tapeless

The Tapeless Control mode allows the FS-C to be

controlled from a camcorder, if it features a FS-C

compatible external control setting separate from the

tape transport. Use Tapeless Control mode with the

companion Canon HDV camcorder.

Do Not Use AV/C control in Record Mode

Camcorder Requirements for Tapeless Control Mode

Tapeless Control mode will not work unless it is supported by the
camcorder and the camcorder is placed in this external control mode.
Please check your camcorder manual for more details.
