FOCUS Enhancements DR-HD100 manual Series Record and Split Slave Control Modes

Quickstart

Series Record and Split Slave Control Modes

Two additional control modes are available when the DR-HD100 is teamed up with the JVC GY-HD100/101 camcorder: Series Record and Split Slave. To access these control modes, select either Series or Split mode from the GY-HD100/101 camcorder’s 1394 REC TRIGGER menu. The DR-HD100 must be in JVC GY-HDmode for these modes to function, see “JVC GY-HD” on page 30.

Series Record

Series Record automatically starts recording to disk when a tape is close to the end of the record session. For more information about what happens once recording to disk begins, refer to the camcorder documentation.

Split Slave

In Split Slave mode, the GY-HD100/101 camcorder controls the DR- HD100 separately from the camcorder’s tape transport. The DR-HD100 is slaved to the camcorder’s REC TRIGGER button, located on the GY-HD100/101’s left panel.

•Every time the Rec Trigger is pressed, the DR-HD100 begins recording in the selected recording mode.

•When the Rec Trigger is pressed again, the DR-HD100 enters REC/PAUSE mode. The only exception is if it is in Retro Record mode.

•Pressing the Rec Trigger a third time, restarts recording. A new track is created on the disk. Refer to camcorder documentation for more information.

GY-HD100 OTHER→BACK SPACE[HDV] Setting

When using this mode, be certain to set the GY-HD100/101’s OTHER→BACK SPACE[HDV] menu to P-1394.

With this setting there is a slightly delayed response to the record trigger.However, when OTHER→BACK SPACE[HDV] is set to P- TAPE, the stream that the DR-HD100 records will contain discontinuities at every point that recording to tape is initiated. This will result in the loss of content.
