9.0 AUDIO CORRECTION MODES
PLEASE NOTE: Audio Correction Modes is
an advanced feature of FireStore. It is
recommended that you use the factory default
settings for most operations.
Audio Correction Mode allows you to alter
the performance of the audio error corrector
while recording. It is useful when recording to
FireStore from tapes with lots of audio
dropouts. Error correction will only effect
AVI 2, AVI 2C, Matrox AVI and QuickTime
record file types. It does not effect RawDV or
AVI 1.
To access the Audio Correction mode, hold
the (SHIFT/ALT) button until it
blinks. Next, press the (MODE)
button to get to the main menu. Cycle the
different selections until you find "Audio
Correction". The FireStore display will show
the default setting.
FireStore Audio Correction has the following
three modes:
MEDIUM 1: For "normal" clean tape played
back on a good VTR with very occasional
very short audio mutes.
MEDIUM 2: For cases where dropouts are
noticeable as short mutes (couple of frames)
in the audio in playback from the camera or
VTR.
MAXIMUM: For cases where there are visible
picture disturbances, and likely long audio
dropouts (1/2 sec and up).
10.0 DIAGNOSTICS MODE
Diagnostics Mode enables diagnostic
information to be passed out of FireStore’s
serial (GPI) port to a terminal. This is
primarily intended for FireStore beta users
and some technical support activities. It is
generally recommended that Diagnostics is
always set to "NO". Enabling Diagnostics
Mode will also disable the GPI function.
To access Diagnostics Mode, hold the
(SHIFT/ALT) button until it blinks.
Next, press the (MODE) button to
get to the main menu. Cycle the different
selections until you find "Use Diagnostics".
The FireStore display will show the default
setting.
To enable Diagnostics, press the (FORWARD
INDEX) button to select "Yes". To exit,
select Diagnostics back to "No".
NOTE: Setting FireStore to Diagnostics Mode
will set Record File Type to AVI Type 2.
