If you would like to create a custom order to
Folders, it is recommended that you change the
name to change the numerical/alphabetical order.
To use SCENE MARKING, it is necessary to
first enable the SCENE MARK setting under
FOLDER PREFs in the SETUP menu. Once
you have selected the SCENE MARK
preference, pressing and holding Soft Key (3)
followed by Soft Key (2) allows you to mark
each clip into the selected, prenamed folder on
disk. By holding Soft Key (3) down and
repeatedly pressing Soft Key (2), it is possible
to scroll though the available folders. Each
SCENE MARK FOLDER is shown on the FS-
3 LCD display.
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>.
It is also possible to SCENE MARK clips to
folders using the numeric keypad on the
optional remote control units (see page 38 of
this User Guide for more information). To
add all SCENE MARKED clips to their
respective folders on the disk drive, select
UTILITIES -> ORGANIZE FOLD from the
FS-3 menu. Once complete, an additional file
is added to the disk named “grade” and files
are moved to the selected folder for easy
access on an NLE system. Do not delete the
file named “grade” from the disk if you intend
to use the disk on FireStore again.
GETTING FIRESTORE RECORDED
CLIPS ONTO A COMPUTER
SYSTEM
Once you have recorded clips to your
FireWire disk drive using FireStore, it is
possible to use those clips in most computer
based DV NLE systems.
Traditionally, in order to get footage into
your NLE system, it was necessary to
capture or digitize that footage utilizing a
video capture card. Using FireStore FS-3
recorded clips, it is possible to skip this
capture stage by simply connecting the
FireWire disk drive to your computer via an
OHCI compliant IEEE-1394 (FireWire) PCI
card or connection. FireWire disk drives that
were used with FireStore FS-3 can
be connected to any computer system that
will read a FAT 32 volume. This includes
Windows 98SE, Windows ME, Windows 2000,
Windows XP and Mac OS9 and OS10. FAT32
volumes will not work with Windows NT and
older Macintosh based operating systems.
Check the FOCUS Enhancements’ website
(www.FOCUSinfo.com) for more information.
In order for you to use FireStore FS-3
recorded FireWire disk drives on a computer,
you must have an active IEEE-1394 connection
on your computer. You also must have loaded
any required FireWire disk drive drivers onto
your computer system (Consult your FireWire
disk drive documentation for more information).
Simply connect your FireWire disk drive to
your computer system utilizing a standard 6-
pin to 6-pin FireWire cable and connect power
to the drive if necessary (some FireWire disk
drives receive power from the computer’s
FireWire connection. Consult your FireWire
disk drive documentation for more information).
