FOCUS Enhancements FS-3 - Manual (Page 23)

Folder List
When this setting is selected, it is possible to
play back clips only from a selected folder.
Select a particular folder to play clips from.
Highlighted folder is the selected folder after
exit. Once set and when PLAY is pressed, only
clips within that particular folder will playback.
If Folder List is selected, all PLAY MODES
relate to clips in the selected folder only.
If the FS-3 PLAY MENU is set to
“TRACKLIST” the name of the SCENE
MARKED folder will appear without brackets
on the LCD display (e.g. 2 SCENE 2). If the
PLAY FROM menu is set to “FOLDERS”, the
name of the SCENE MARKED folder will
appear in brackets on the LCD display (e.g. 2
<SCENE 2>).
CONTROL MODE MENU
The FS-3 CONTROL MODE MENU allows
different control options to be enabled. User
simply selects the mode. Pressing EXIT will
exit back to the menu screen. Once a particular
mode is selected in the Control Mode menu, the
unit will remain in that mode until a different
mode is selected.
Available items in the CONTROL MODE
MENU are:
LOCAL
AV/C
SYNCRO SLAVE
Local
In this mode, FS-3 is controlled via the front
panel buttons only. The camcorder tape
transport and FS-3 have independent control.
AV/C
utilized in PLAYBACK and RECORD
situations where FS-3 is controlled by an
external FireWire device (such as a DV NLE
system), connected to the “DV I/O port” on FS-
3. For example, you may like to record the
ouput of your NLE's timeline to FS-3.
NOTE: AV/C is NOT for use in FS-3
RECORD MODES.
Syncro Slaved
In SYNCRO SLAVED mode, the camcorder and
FS-3 share the same REC trigger and FS-3 is
slaved to the camcorder. Once set and the user
exits the CONTROL MENU, they will return to
the default splash screen. FS-3 also immediately
enters REC PAUSE mode and a “Y” appears
next to the record symbol on the LCD. All
triggers of REC and REC PAUSE are controlled
by the camcorder exclusively. Every time the
camcorder REC button is pressed, FS-3 goes into
the particular RECORD MODE that is selected.
When pressed a second time, FS-3 goes into
REC PAUSE. Another press of the REC button
on the camcorder again starts the particular
RECORD MODE that is selected. At this point,
a new track is created on disk. Timecode
generated by the camcorder is recorded to the
file when FS-3 is set to EXT TC mode.
When used with RETRO DISK or RETRO
CACHE modes, as soon as SYNCRO SLAVE
is set, the camcorder begins recording to disk.
A press of the REC trigger on the camcorder
kicks FS-3 out of RETRO DISK or RETRO
CACHE and goes into standard REC. When the
camcorder is triggered back into REC PAUSE
mode, FS-3 once again goes into RETRO DISK
or RECORD CACHE mode again.
