FireStore
In all cases, check your device's operating manual to understand how it controls external devices. In most cases, FireStore will act and appear as a VTR.
Note: FireStore’s AV/C control is intended to be used with a single file type. Therefore, it is important that you select only one type of file (e.g. Matrox, AVI Type 2 etc.) when attempting to use AV/C control.
