Some HDV Camcorders Require a Moment to Synchronize
Some HDV camcorders require a moment to synchronize the video from an
external source. Typically during this period, they display a solid blue or
black video until synchronized.
Fast Forward and Reverse
Pressing the Forward Search button multiple times results in increases in
the search speed, i.e. fast forward. This mode works both in forward and
reverse functions. For instance, if you are in 10X FF speed and you press
the Back Search button once, the FS-C is now in 2X FF mode. In addition,
this applies to backward search speeds. The default speed resolution is as
follows (NTSC and PAL have slightly different multiples for < 1X)
• Reverse: -30X, -10X, -2X, -1X (reverse play), -1/2X(-15fps), Still.
• Forward: Still, +1/2X (+15fps), +1X (play), +2X, +10X, +30X
Fast Forward and Reverse Search Compatible Camcorders
In Forward and Reverse Search modes, some camcorders do not display
video when played-back from an external device, such as the FS-C.
