4. Volume Number
The volume or disk number of the current clip
recording or playback session is displayed in this
area of the LCD. For example, a display value of
“2-014” identifies a track as being on volume 2.
5. Track or Clip Number
This area displays the current clip or track number
being recorded or played back. For example, a
display value of “2-014” identifies a track as
being clip 14 on volume 2. If a track number has
an “*” immediately following it, that particular
track has been marker as a “Keeper” track. See
page 15 of this User Guide for more information.
6. Timecode/User Bit Display Mode
This identifies the display mode for timecode
or user bit values. Selections are:
• COUNTER - counts frames during record
or playback of the current clip only.
• REMAINING - counts down the number
of frames available (time) on a particular disk
during a record session. In a playback session,
this display shows the remaining time on the
current clip.
• DV NTSC (or PAL) - Displays the external
timecode value being generated by a
camcorder or other device during a record
session. Timecode mode has to be set to EXT
TC for this function to operate (see page 26
of this User Guide). In playback mode, this
displays the embedded DV timecode value in
a particular track.
• UB NTSC (or PAL) - Displays the set user
bit value in a particular clip. A user bit value
must be added for this to display (see page 27
of this User Guide).
• ABSOLUTE - Displays an absolute timecode
value for the particular session (sum of all
COUNTER timecode on connected volumes).
This is mainly used when FS-3 is set to AV/C
mode and is being controlled by an external
FireWire device such as a computer.

(middle key on the top row of buttons).
