2.0 SLOW MOTION MODES
FireStore allows you to play clips at slower than real time speeds. It is possible to playback NTSC clips at 15 frames per second (FPS), 10 FPS, 6FPS, 5FPS, 3FPS, 2FPS and 1 FPS. PAL clips can be played back at 12FPS, 6FPS, 5FPS, 4FPS, 3FPS, 2FPS and 1FPS. To access the slow motion mode, select the particular clip you would like to play (it is also possible to play a loop all, loop clip or play all sequence at slower than real time speeds). Start playback by pressing
FireStore’s (PLAY) | button. Once |
playing, hold down the (SHIFT/ALT)
button for two seconds (the button will flash when in ALT mode). Then press the RW button once. You will notice the display updates to:
By continually pressing the RW button, playback will slow down playback by the increments mentioned above until it reaches 1FPS. It is possible at any time to increase the playback speed by pressing the FF button. It will increase by one increment forward (e.g. if you are at 6FPS, playback will increase to 10FPS).
To exit this mode, simply press FF until playback reaches normal play again or exit by pressing the SHIFT/ALT mode button once (the button will stop flashing when exited) and press the Play button again.
3.0 NEW FILE FORMATS
FireStore now features three new file formats, Matrox, QuickTime and Avid DV OMF. To set either of these formats (as well as others), hold down the
(MODE) 
button for two seconds and the setup screen will appear. By pressing the
(MODE)
button, cycle through until
you see the "REC FILE TYPE" screen. The different file formats that are available are : RawDV, AVI Type 1, AVI Type 2, AVI Type 2C (Canopus), Matrox AVI, QuickTime and Avid DV OMF. Select the file format you wish to use. Once set, that file format will remain until it is changed, even if the power is cycled.
3.1 Matrox
The Matrox file format is designed for use with the Matrox RT2000, RT2500, DigiSuite DTV and DigiSuite LX applications with Adobe Premiere. The Matrox file format is unique on FireStore in that it creates two files simultaneously; an AVI2 video file and a separate .WAV audio file. On the computer's desktop, the file will look like this...
On FireStore, both the video file (AVI2) and the audio file (.WAV) appear as one track. If you delete a Matrox file, FireStore will delete both the audio and video portion at the same time.
NOTE: The Matrox file format is not for use with the Matrox RTMac. Use either AVI 2 or QuickTime for Matrox RTMac based applications.
