Recording 

 
What type of files can be recorded? 

MOV, MP4 or TS (AVC HD) clips can be recorded.  
A separate XML file and thumbnail is attached to each clip. 

 
Where can I get some sample clips recorded with FS-Hxx? 

Clips recorded at different profiles can be found here: 

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/q3xwvlpm7mq5l9u/gqVhiAkeRf

 

 

Whatis the snapshot file type? 

Snapshots are saved as JPEG files.  
 

What are resolutions and bitrates of the recorded clips? 

7 profiles are available ranging from 1080p30 8Mbit/s to 320x180 30 fps at 500kb/s. 
Details of the profiles are documented in the user manual. 
 

What is the maximum continuous record time? 

In the table below, the maximum record times are listed using a 32GB SDHC card:

Can I record interlaced clips? 

Yes. To record interlaced clips, AVCHD mode must be selected. 
AVHD can record 1080i and PAL or NTSC clips. 

 
Where is the timecode information saved? 

The timecode is saved in the MOV timecode track or in the XML attached to each recorded clip (start TC). MP4 clips do not embed 
timecode tracks.  
 

My recording is split into 4GB file segments, why?  

FS-Hxx writes files to a FAT32 volume which allows a maximum file size of 4GB. When this file limit is reached for a clip (1 hour of 
recording in Premium – 1080p), FS-Hxx automatically closes the file and creates a new clip. When putting clips in a playlist or in an 
NLE, the combined clips will result in a perfectly continuous video (no frames are lost at clips boundaries). 
Refer to the question below to know the duration of 4GB clip. 
 

What is the video duration of a 4GB clip? 

The clip duration is dependent of your profile. Please refer to the table below:
