FS-2/2E Functions
•
Index at Scene
- In this mode, recordings are continuous
until a scene break is detected in the incoming video stream,
or the nine minute file size limit is reached. At that time, a
new file is automatically created within one second of the
scene change. No frames are lost during the transition to a
new clip..
2.5.5.2 Remote
Select this function to control the FS-2/2E by an external device
through the RS-422 port. The FS-2/2E takes on the characteristics
of a VTR as setup in the
RS422
menu screen in the
SETUP
menu.
You cannot use the FS-2/2E front panel controls in this mode.
The FS-2/2E has a menu item that allows the FS-2/2E to appear to
external controllers as a Sony BVW-75 BetaSP VTR when in
Remote RS422 mode. It also has a generic RS422 mode.
In remote, you can also slave an FS-2/2E to another device (such
as a Betacam or other non-DV deck) using the RS422 port.
The Index at Scene option watches the DV stream for an index
marker that is recorded to tape when a new scene, or record
session starts. It depends upon the camcorder when this index is
recorded to tape. Some camcorders record the index at every
scene, or when the camera is placed in and out of record pause.
Other cameras, only record the index marker at the beginning of
every record session; in other words, the camera needs to be
placed into STOP or powered-off between indices. Refer to your
camcorder's manual for more information.
FS-2/2E Does Not Support All BVW-75 Control Functions
This mode is only for greater compatibility with existing control systems.
Refer to
Supported RS-422 Commands
on page 116 for a listing of
RS422 supported commands.
