FS-100 Functions
FS-100 Portable DTE Recorder 79

changes the selection to Reel 4.
To purchase the wired remote control, p/n ACSS-0019-01 , for
the FS-100, visit Focus Enhancements web site at

• Syncro Slave
Use this mode when the camcorder does not have FS-100
compatible external control or the tapeless trigger
functionality. In
Syncro Slave control mode, the
FS-100 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-100 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-100 can be used in a
manner similar to a camcorder to capture footage to the NLE.
• Tapeless Control
The Tapeless Control mode allows the FS-100 to be
controlled from a camcorder, if it features a FS-100
compatible Tapeless control setting separate from the tape
transport. It is recommended to use this control mode with
the companion camcorder, the Panasonic AG-HVX200.
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.
