9.0 AUDIO CORRECTION MODES
PLEASE NOTE: Audio Correction Modes is an advanced feature of FireStore. It is recommended that you use the factory default settings for most operations.
Audio Correction Mode allows you to alter the performance of the audio error corrector while recording. It is useful when recording to FireStore from tapes with lots of audio dropouts. Error correction will only effect AVI 2, AVI 2C, Matrox AVI and QuickTime record file types. It does not effect RawDV or AVI 1.
To access the Audio Correction mode, hold
the (SHIFT/ALT) | button until it |
blinks. Next, press the (MODE) 
button to get to the main menu. Cycle the different selections until you find "Audio Correction". The FireStore display will show the default setting.
FireStore Audio Correction has the following three modes:
MEDIUM 1: For "normal" clean tape played back on a good VTR with very occasional very short audio mutes.
MEDIUM 2: For cases where dropouts are noticeable as short mutes (couple of frames) in the audio in playback from the camera or VTR.
MAXIMUM: For cases where there are visible picture disturbances, and likely long audio dropouts (1/2 sec and up).
10.0 DIAGNOSTICS MODE
Diagnostics Mode enables diagnostic information to be passed out of FireStore’s serial (GPI) port to a terminal. This is primarily intended for FireStore beta users and some technical support activities. It is generally recommended that Diagnostics is always set to "NO". Enabling Diagnostics Mode will also disable the GPI function.
To access Diagnostics Mode, hold the
(SHIFT/ALT) | button until it blinks. |
Next, press the (MODE) 
button to
get to the main menu. Cycle the different selections until you find "Use Diagnostics". The FireStore display will show the default setting.
To enable Diagnostics, press the (FORWARD
INDEX) | button to select "Yes". To exit, |
select Diagnostics back to "No".
NOTE: Setting FireStore to Diagnostics Mode will set Record File Type to AVI Type 2.
