FS Functions
FS-4 HD and FS-4Pro HD Portable DTE Recorders 67
TIME CODE EXT, REC RUN, FREE RUN, REGEN
The FS-4Pro HD provides additional
TC REC RUN
,
TC FREE RUN
,
and
TC REGEN
functionality in HD RECORDER mode. This
functionality is only active when HD FORMAT is set to
QUICKTIME
. In M2T mode, all TC modes act as
TC EXT
.
The following are timecode (
TC
) functions.
• TC EXT
Group Default
Records the incoming source timecode. If the timecode
is not running, and the FS-4 HD records the same
timecode number in each recorded frame. Choose
TC
EXT
mode to clear any stored number.
• TC REC RUN DV mode or FS-4Pro HD only
This function creates a time code number for the first
frame of the next recording. To do this it can either:
•
FS-4 HD
Take the last timecode recorded and add 1,
•
FS-4Pro HD
Use the value stored in
TC SET
.
The FS-4 HD stores the last recorded timecode in its non-
volatile memory, so it can persist across recording sessions.
• TC FREE RUN FS-4Pro HD only
This function causes the FS-4Pro HD to begin counting
from the value stored by
TC SET
.
• A number entered through
TC SET
is not stored and
available to the FS-4Pro HD until exiting
TC SET
. Only
then does the FS-4Pro HD begin counting using that
number.
