FireStore FS-3 User Guide

REGEN Mode - After a disk is mounted (at startup, upon manual connect) and after the track list has been constructed, FS-3 looks at the last track and looks at the timecode number of the last frame in that track. FS-3 stores that number for use as the TC value (+ 1) for the first frame of the next recording.

If the drive is empty, FS-3 uses the value (+ 1) stored in memory.

FREE RUN Mode - When the user enables FREE RUN mode, FS-3 begins counting from the value stored. If the user uses the TC PRESET function, when the number is entered and the TC PRESET menu is exited, FS-3 begins counting.

NOTE: When the FS-3 timecode

mode is set to EXT TC and the camcorder time code mode is set to PRST/REC or REGEN, it is not possible to record timecode continuously when recording to disk only. Set the FS-3 timecode mode to REGEN, REC RUN or FREE RUN (not EXT TC) when recording to disk only.
