FS-100 Functions
FS-100 Portable DTE Recorder 41
Loop Record
Loop Record is similar to PRE-REC Disk.
Loop Record continuously records a series of video clips to available
disk space. When all available disk space is used, Loop Record
begins sequentially replacing the earliest clip with the most recent.
• The size of the video clip depends on the length of the loop or
record mode.
• Loops of 60 minutes or less are recorded in one-minute clips.
• Otherwise, loops are recorded in 2GB clips.
• When the capacity of the disk is reached, one additional clip is
created. The size of the last clip depends on the length of the
loop i.e., one-minute or 2GB. The disk must have at least 30
minutes of disk space available for this functionality.
Saving Loop Record Clips
Press STOP during a record session.
The FS-100 stops recording and saves the current LOOP RECORD
session clips to a folder on the disk.
Snap Record DV modes only
Use Snap to record individual frames. In Snap mode, pressing
Record captures individual frames. All the frames recorded in the
same session are stored in a single file.
• To start a new SNAP record session, place the unit in STOP
between SNAP records.
• Snap Record is available only in DV modes of operation.
• Use Snap in Local , Syncro Slave , and Tapeless control modes.
• Removing power from the FS-100 in the midst of a Snap
recording session causes the unit to return to Normal
recording mode when it powers back up.
Another Method to Capture Single Frames
An alternative to Snap is EXT CTL FRAME. For more information see
EXT CTL OFF, Pause, Frame, File on page 52.
