The Micron HD can be controlled with the BVW-75 protocol which emulates a tape deck
(VTR) or with ffv's NATIVE mode which takes full advantage of all features of this digital
disk recorder (DDR).
PERSONALITY: Using this command, you can select between Native mode, which
uses Odetics extensions in the RS-422 protocol and BVW-75 mode,
which emulates the Sony BVW-75 (VTR) protocol.
NATIVE: Native mode is the most natural state for the Micron HD to
operate in as it utilizes the random access capabilities of the hardware
most effectively.
As you record to the Micron HD it stores the data in the available space
on the storage media. When the Micron HD gets to the timecode
selected for the inserted material, it jumps to that clip on the drive
(wherever that may be). The Micron then plays the clip and then
seeks the next designated timecode.
Note: Play list functionality is only available in Native mode
