2.5.4.3 Retro Cache
RETRO CACHE Record constantly caches your video in a loop up
to a 10 second data buffer. In this way, when the record is begun, a
retro time period is added to the beginning of any clip.
Pressing the
REC key when in RETRO CACHE mode puts the FS-
2/2E into a RETRO CACHE state (the tally light on the FS-2/2E
flashes as if in 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. It is much the same as
RETRO DISK recording, except that it utilizes a data buffer
separate to the disk drive to cache video.
RETRO CACHE is also accurate down to the frame instead of the
1 minute clips used in RETRO DISK. Once a RETRO CACHE
value is set, pressing the REC key once puts the FS-2/2E
immediately into RETRO CACHE Record . A C now appears next to
the record symbol on the FS-2/2E's display.
Video is being recorded to the FS-2/2E cache. The REC button
flashes (as if the unit is in pause). When you press the REC key,
the FS-2/2E exits the RETRO CACHE Record mode and goes into
standard record (the C on the display disappears).
Any clip recorded in this mode has the contents of the cache
added to the beginning of the clip.
Once paused, the unit returns to the RETRO CACHE record mode
again (the C reappears in the LCD) for further RETRO CACHE
recordings or until it is disabled in the RETRO CACHE by setting
the RETRO CACHE time to zero seconds.
RETRO CACHE record can be used in LOCAL and SYNCRO
SLAVE record control modes.
2.5.4.4 Loop Record
When LOOP RECORD is selected after recording has begun,
video is recorded to available disk space. Clips are recorded to
disk continuously in one-minute clips (up to 60 minutes), or 9
minute clips (for loops over 60 minutes, 2GB files).
