2.5.4.2 Retro Disk
RETRO DISK Record constantly buffers video in a loop to a
determined amount of space on the hard-disk drive so that when
record is triggered, a retro time period can be added to the
beginning of any clip. You can select the RETRO DISK value to
close the available disk drive space.
1. Set RETRO TIME by pressing the and buttons. Time is
selectable in one minute increments.
2. Hold the button for more than 3 seconds to allow numbers to
increase by 10 times.
3. Press EXIT to return to the RECORD .
Press the REC key when in RETRO DISK mode to put the FS-2/2E
into a RETRO DISK state (the FS-2/2E's REC button flashes as if in
REC-PAUSE state). The FS-2/2E is actually recording in this state,
but until you press the REC key a second time, the video records
over itself in a continuous loop. RETRO DISK always keeps at
least the selected amount of time in a series of one minute clips.
For instance, if you set the RETRO DISK value to 3 minutes, the
FS-2 always has 3 minutes (made up of three, one (1) minute clips)
of video saved to disk. As the recording goes past the 3 minute
point, a fourth clip is created. Once that clip reaches one minute,
the oldest of the previous 3 clips is deleted. Another fourth clip is
then created.
If you select a RETRO session that is 60 minutes or greater, instead
of one minute clips, the FS-2/2E creates 9 minute, 13 second clips
(2GB clips on disk). The functionality of RETRO DISK remains the
same. The larger file size prevents the FS-2/2E from reaching its
999 track limitation for very long RETRO records.
