Folder Pref

The AUDIO CORRECTION selection is an advanced feature of the FS-2/2E. You should use the factory default settings for most operations (Factory default is MEDIUM).

Audio Correction Mode allows you to alter the performance of the audio error corrector while recording. It is useful when recording to the FS-2/2E from tapes containing dropouts. Error correction only effects AVI 2, Canopus AVI, Matrox AVI, QuickTime, AVID OMF, Pinnacle, 24p QuickTime, and 24p AVI Type 2. It does not effect RawDV or AVI 1. The selections are:

OFF: No audio correction.

MEDIUM (default): “Normal” clean tapes played back on a camcorder or other VTR with clean heads. When error correction occurs, the audio can be muted for brief periods of time.

HIGH: For cases where there are visible picture disturbances and likely long audio dropouts (1/2 sec and up).
