FS-100 Functions
FS-100 Portable DTE Recorder 53
• EXT CTL FILE
Creates a new file during a record session without losing
frames.
TIME CODE EXT, REC RUN, FREE RUN, REGEN
The following are timecode ( TC ) functions.
• TC EXT
Group Default
Records the incoming source timecode. If the timecode is not
running, the FS-100 records the same timecode number in
each recorded frame. Choose
TC EXT mode to clear any
stored number.
• TC REC RUN
In this mode, after a power cycle, the FS-100 starts its TC record
count using the
TC SET value. Later recordings add to the last value
recorded. A power cycle resets the TC record value to the TC SET
value.
• TC FREE RUN
This function causes the FS-100 to begin counting from the
value stored by
TC SET .
• A number entered through TC SET is not stored and available
to the FS-100 until exiting TC SET . Only then does the FS-100
begin counting using that number.
• TC REGEN
When the FS-100 powers up in TC REGEN mode, it:
• Reads the timecode of the last track recorded.
• Adds 1 to the number.
• Stores the new timecode as the number that will be assigned to
the first frame of the next recording session.
If the drive is empty, i.e. no existing recordings with, the
FS-100 uses the
TC SET value.
TC SET and UB SET Can Be Set at the Same Time
Both parameters, TC SET and UB SET, may be set and are not mutually
exclusive as in some groups, i.e. LCDLIGHT.
TC EXT Recommended for Pull-down Applications
If the recording signal contains pull-down information in 720/60p format, the
frame flag information contained is preserved in TC EXT mode and is
required for the editing process.
