FS-C Functions
70 FS-C Portable DTE Recorder
TIME CODE EXT, REC RUN, FREE RUN, REGEN
The FS-C 2.0 upgrade provides additional
TC REC RUN
,
TC FREE
RUN
, and
TC REGEN
functionality in HD RECORDER mode.
This functionality is only active when HD FORMAT is set to
QUICKTIME
. In M2T mode, all TC modes act as
TC EXT
.
The following are timecode (
TC
) functions.
• TC EXT
Group Default
Records the incoming source timecode. If the timecode
is not running, the FS-C records the same timecode
number in each recorded frame. Choose
TC EXT
mode to
clear any stored number.
• TC REC RUN DV mode only
In this mode, after a power cycle, the FS-C starts its TC record
count using the
TC SET
value. Later recordings add to the last
value recorded. A power cycle resets the TC record value to
the
TC SET
value.
• TC FREE RUN DV mode only
This function causes the FS-C to begin counting from
the value stored by
TC SET
.
• A number entered through
TC SET
is not stored and
available to the FS-C until exiting
TC SET
. Only then does
the FS-C begin counting using that number.
• TC REGEN
DV mode only
When the FS-C powers up in
TC REGEN
mode, it:
• Reads the timecode of the last track recorded.
• Adds 1 to the number.
• Stores the new timecode as the number that will be
assigned to the first frame of the next recording session.
If the drive is empty, i.e. no existing recordings,
the FS-C uses the
TC SET
value.
TC SET and UB SET Can Be Set at the Same Time
Both parameters, TC SET and UB SET, may be set and are not mutually
exclusive as in some groups, i.e. LCDLIGHT.
